Story
Hello my name is Fred I am a German shepherd mix. I was born December 24th 2021. I am still a playful pup but have no problem snuggling up and doing whatever my owner would like! I like to run around the yard with my older brother buddy (poodle mix unknown age) my dad got me from a veterinary clinic when I was 4 months old. I like to watch golf on TV or toss my soccer ball around :) he is one of the sweetest most loving dogs I’ve ever known. Buddy was my grandmothers dog whom I took care of until she passed. He is a very good boy as well he enjoys playing just as much as he enjoys his younger brother’s activities. I would like for them to go the same home but it is not a requirement. Due to unforeseen circumstances I am no longer able to afford or house my beloved doggies. Thank you for your time!

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
We have had Luna since she was a puppy. She is now 13. Unfortunately, she has shown some aggression with our other dog, and while she has never been aggressive with humans (she can be territorial around food) I do worry as we have three small children. I think Luna would do very well in an environment where she is an only dog/animal. She loves attention and can be very playful. Even though she is getting on in years, she is still very mobile and energetic.

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.

Gunner

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gunner loves sunbathing/being outside and leaning on/laying near his humans (massages welcome). He is great with kids and has done well with other dogs in off-leash environments, like a dog park. He’s protective of his home and wary of strangers, but once he knows you’re a friend, you’re in for life. (He LOVES his humans.) Rehoming reason: Divorce, custody arrangements, selling of home. Gunner is not built for apartment life. He had a house and a fenced-in yard for 6+ years. He is easily overstimulated on walks around my apartment complex – lots of dogs, people, and children and although he is not aggressive, he is very reactive in these situations (wants to run up to/meet everyone and barks at the dogs). Gunner is also now alone a lot. He deserves more presence than I can realistically provide right now. It is a stressful time for me overall and this breaks my heart but I feel it’s what’s best for him and me right now. I want to him to have people around and a yard to call his own.
