My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

adoption fee $450

Meet Charlie, a Rat Terrier mix born November 2025. This little guy is super sweet, loves lots of cuddles, and would happily trade almost anything for a spot in your lap.

Charlie can be a bit nervous around new dogs, but with patience and slow introductions, he does just fine. He understands the purpose of a crate, though he definitely prefers being close to his people. Potty training is coming along—he’s still young and will thrive with consistency and praise.

His foster family describes him as “small but mighty.” He enjoys playing with toys and has a big personality packed into a little body.

If you’re looking for a loving companion with plenty of affection to give, Charlie might be the perfect fit

New foster dogs need time to feel safe. They may be skittish or fearful, so always stay with them outside—even in fenced yards. Ensure collars and leashes fit securely to prevent escapes. Your gentle presence and protection help them feel loved and secure.

 


The adoption fee helps allow Perfect Paws to provide all animals with current, age appropriate vaccinations which include, DHLPP, Kennel Cough and Rabies (if the pet is at least 13 weeks old), and spay/neuter when necessary.  The fee also helps with the cost of deworming; heartworm testing (if the pet is at least 1 year old), heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention for animals cared for through the rescue. He will go home with a collar, leash, and vaccination record. If you would like to adopt this very special K-9 kid, please go DIRECTLY to our website to complete our convenient Online Adoption Form.  Our website is www.perfectpawspetrescue.org cut and paste our web address into your browser to get to our site.  Email any questions to perfectpawsrescueinc@gmail.com

More about this rescue

Our mission is to provide a loving, safe, temporary home for dogs and puppies coming from unfortunate circumstances; be it a shelter, another rescue, or simply an individual that can no longer care for them. We will provide these animals with age appropriate vaccinations including DHLPP, Rabies(if old enough), and Kennel Cough. Our rescued dogs and puppies will be spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (if old enough), wormed, on flea/tick prevention as well as heartworm prevention. We are dedicated to the placement of these neglected, abandoned, or otherwise unwanted dogs and puppies into loving, permanent homes. We also hope to educate on the value of spay/neuter in decreasing pet overpopulation along with proper animal care and responsibility.
