Story
Meet Buddy. Buddy is a 2-year old chihuahua mix. He weighs 15 lbs. Buddy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. He is almost house broken. We don't know about Buddy's history. He was found as a stray in Dayton, OH area. We rescued him from the shelter. Buddy is very skittish. He is timid to places where he is not familiar with and may show fear aggression. We are looking for a quiet home for him. The adopter needs to be patient with Buddy. Buddy is fine with everybody. He usually stays away from the crowd and very quiet. However he has food aggression. He always fears that someone would take away his food/treats. Hence a home with children is not suitable for him. Once he is comfortable with you, he would come to greet you and let you to pet him. Buddy's adoption fee is $250. Please submit the adoption application at https://charlieswishanimalrescue.org for scheduling a meet and greet.

Story
Hello, my name is Popcorn, but I prefer Poppy. I've only had 2 families, the first for 9.5 years and I was adopted out of the shelter as a puppy. I was returned the summer of 2025 due to a divorce. My new mom has had me since August of 2025. In that time I have been spoiled and given lots of love. Unfortunately, the 6 year old in the home is terrified of me, even though we basically ignore each other. I can sense that he is afraid and sometimes I bark at him because I am nervous.....then it just makes it worse. I would like to be in a home where no one is afraid of me because I am just a giant teddy bear. I probably need to lose some weight as there is a 2 year old in the home that actually loves me and shares her food with me.....I tend to like women more than men but I can eventually be okay with them, just need some time to warm up. I am potty trained but sometimes need some encouragement. I would love to find my forever, ever home asap.

Story
Meet Lily and Daizy. They both are female chihuahua mix. Both are 2-3 years old, weigh 10-11 lbs. They both are spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. Both are not completely house trained. They use pee pads inside the house. Lily and Daizy are a bonded pair. They need to be adopted together. Lily is the black/white girl. Daizy is merle in black and tan. Both are timid and skittish. Lily is the boss of the pair. She may show fear aggression to strangers. But once she warms up, she is a sweet girl. Daizy is a shy girl but warm up quicker than Lily. She LOVES to give kisses. Both like to sleep with their foster mom under the blanket. Because of Lily's temperament, we think it is better for them to go to a home without kids. Both are food motivated. Both are friendly with dogs. We are not sure how they think about cats. LIly and Daizy's adoption fee is $500 Please submit an adoption application at http://charlieswishanimalrescue.org to schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Betty and Bernie are a bonded, brother and sister. They are 8 years old and weigh less than 20 pounds. Betty and Bernie enjoy taking care of each other by washing each others faces. They are crate trained, and love sleeping in their crates as long as they can see each other. A sheet draped over both crates helps them block out nightly distractions. They love snuggling with humans and get along fine with cats. Betty and Bernie have adjusted really well to the other small dogs in their foster home. They still enjoy going out on walks. They are up to date on vaccines and ready to live their golden years together surrounded by the love they deserve. Betty and Bernie were the cherished companions of an elderly gentleman who had to go into memory care and could no longer care for them. The adoption fee for Betty and Bernie is $200 each.

Story
Little Andy is looking for the right person to give him forever family.Little Andy was found living as a stray. A homeless man was eventually able to get a piece of twine around his neck so he could be brought to safety. Based on his behavior, its likely Little Andy was not treated very kindly early in life.Because of that, he does not like to be picked upbut he absolutely loves being near his person. His favorite things are laying next to you while you watch TV and curling up nearby at bedtime.Little Andy enjoys the simple things in life: Laying in the sun Gathering his toys Watching the world go by from the window Getting very excited when his human comes homeHe can be a little bossy with other dogs, so he would need a very patient canine sibling or would also do well as the only dog soaking up all the attention.Little Andy will keep you safe from the Amazon drivers, happily jump in the car for rides, and enjoy short walks with his favorite person.His ideal home would be a quiet environment with someone looking for a loyal companion. Because its just too tempting to scoop up this adorable little guy, a home without children would be best.Little Andy may have had a rough start, but with the right person who understands him, he will be a devoted best friend for life. If youd like to meet Little Andy, apply at ricopetrecovery.org.Adoption Fee is $250.
