Story
We found Mable walking on the side of the road, one cold rainy night in November. We are looking to rehome her because she is too large for our house with our 4 cats. She does good with the cats. She wants to play with them but they want nothing to do with her. When we take her on walks, she seems interested in some dogs and not others. We have not tested her with other dogs. We think she's about 5 years old. She very loveable and likes being the center of attention. She loves sleeping in bed with us and lying with us on the couch. She would need an owner that is a runner or active. She loves to be chased in the backyard or playing defender for me while I practice hockey in the garage. While she is not spayed, we are willing to help with the process if the new owner would like it done.

Story
Ellie may is a 1 year pit mix she loves people ,going on walks ,chewing bones and sunbathing. she would be best in a house being an only animal as she is dog selective and has a high pray drive with small animals. someone who has experience with this is preferred to set her up to be the best dog she can be. She will want to be with you 24/7 very much a Velcro doggy. she loves kids but would do best with older children just because she has a lot of energy and doesn’t realize she’s not a lap dog. She is goofy and loves snuggles. if you want a new hiking and adventure buddy she is your gal or a lazy day snuggling on the couch! She is spayed , microchipped ,crate trained and potty trained she uses bells on the door to let you know she has to potty !

Story
7/21/26: 🏡 Currently in Foster Care This dog is currently staying in a foster home and is not on-site at the rescue. They are still available for adoption! If you're an approved adopter and would like to meet them, please contact the Char-Wills office. We'll be happy to coordinate an appointment with the foster family so you can meet them at the rescue. --- 7/3/26: Meet Fetch! Yes… his name is Fetch, and yes… he absolutely lives up to it. Originally a stray from Louisiana, Fetch is estimated to be about 2.5 years old and is now ready to trade his wandering days for a forever home filled with play, structure, and love. This handsome boy is already showing us what a fun, engaging companion he can be. Fetch knows his basic commands and is described as both fun and attentive. He enjoys working with his people, picking things up quickly, and staying tuned in to what’s happening around him. But his favorite thing in the world? A good game of fetch. If there’s a ball in motion, Fetch is fully committed to the cause. He’s the kind of dog who brings energy and joy into a room, always ready to participate and always happy to be included. With continued guidance and routine, he’s going to thrive in a home that appreciates both his playful side and his eagerness to bond. Fetch is currently heartworm positive and has already started the first stage of his treatment. The good news is that he’s on the right path, and our rescue will continue to cover the cost of his heartworm treatment as long as he remains under the care of our veterinarian. Despite everything he’s been through, Fetch is focused on what comes next: toys, people, and the promise of a home where every day includes a little fun. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with a love for play and a heart ready to heal right alongside yours, Fetch might just be your perfect match. --- 6/30/26: Hello, everyone! I would like to say that I have just arrived at Char-Wills on 6/29/26. I was found as a stray in Louisiana. There will be more information to come in the next week or so as I get settled in!

Story
Meet Barkley If you're looking for a best friend who knows how to have fun, Barkley may be your perfect match! This handsome guy was originally found as a stray in New Jersey, and while we don't know much about his past, we're excited to help him find the happy ending he deserves. Barkley is always ready for an adventure, especially if it involves water! Whether it's chasing the hose, splashing around, or romping through puddles, water is one of his favorite things. He's also a big fan of playing ball and enjoys a good game of fetch in our exercise yards. When playtime is over, Barkley is happy to show off his sweet side by leaning in for plenty of kisses. This lovable boy is easy to leash, knows the command "sit," and enjoys spending time with the people he trusts. While he may potentially do well with the right female dog, we're currently recommending that Barkley be the king of the castle where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. If you're searching for a loyal, playful companion who will happily keep you smiling, Barkley is ready to meet you. Come spend some time with him and see if he's the missing piece your family has been looking for!
