Story

Miss Charli is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Miss Charli comes to us from a shelter partner in Kentucky. Miss Charli was surrendered to that shelter by her family, who had had her since she was an 8 week old puppy. We are so sad for this girl who is surely heartbroken, but she is amazing us with her resilience- as dogs do! She is a smiley and affectionate girl who nudges you for pets with her muzzle, and promptly plops down and rolls over for belly rubs. Miss Charli loves people and has always gotten along well with dogs. Having been raised in a home, Miss Charli is housebroken and well trained, and well past the mischievous puppy stage of life! She is a mature lady who is looking for a new home and the love and stability that we know she is craving. Miss Charli recently went to a foster home, and we will update you soon on her progress there! So far, her fosters report that she is amazing in the home- housebroken, crate trained, docile, independent yet loving. Miss Charli is a dog who will transition easily into her adoptive home. We hope you will ask about her today! Miss Charli’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative. Upon exam with our vet, Miss Charli was noted to have a fractured tooth and is in need of a dental cleaning. This procedure will be covered by Heartland and is scheduled for 7/16/25 at our shelter.
