Story
Charlie is a super sweet, well mannered, potty trained dog. DOB 10-21-23. He has allergies. I’ve tried a variety of foods to no avail. I rescued another dog 60 miles from me and that dog was housed with Charlie. I couldn’t leave him behind. I didn’t notice until I got him home & reviewed paperwork he was listed with allergies. The problem is his skin gets so hot he stinks and I’m super sensitive to smell to the point of nausea and vomiting. I’m sure someone with the means can get him vet help with this and resolve his issues but I can’t. He’s very energetic, I have a large property so he runs quite a bit and loves chasing squirrels. He learns very quickly and minds. When he’s done for the day he’s done and sleeps well. He loves to be loved but has an aversion to hands being close to his face. He readily accepts a leash and loves to go for auto rides too. He comes when called. He’s excellent with the other dog. He loves to play with toys. He will go after food. He’s great with my bird.
