Description:
We are officially opening up applications for Chocolate Charlie! Charlie must have a kid free home because he does have a bite history outside of our care. He must have a fenced yard area to use during his settle in/decompression time, and he must have a room that is his in the home to decompress and escape to when he is overwhelmed. These things must be in place prior to the home visit! Charlie does like other small dogs, but the really young dogs that are bouncing on him are not cool and cause him to freak out. So dogs that are about his age of 3 and size around 8ish pounds are good, or older small dogs are good too! He really does need another dog in his new home as it has been a huge advantage in his behavior rehab! Charlie is house trained, leash trained, does well in a car, prefers an xpen, but will use a crate. Charlie thrives with a routine and boundaries! He isn't always a snuggly boy, so when he's done, he tells you by moving away, and you can not push him to continue being snuggly, or he will act out. We have used completely force free methods here and followed his cues, which proved successful for him and expect the same in a new home. Charlie can not take any meds for anxiety except gabapentin as anything else literally makes him crazy! He is on gabapentin twice a day, and it has been perfect for him. Chocolate Charlie is a highly trained little floof, so keeping him sharp on his commands is key to keeping him manageable and happy. He will need a patient home that lets him be while he settles in and learns to trust you! He isn't going to be a purse dog or your snuggle bug that you can dote on all day. He's independent, and seeks attention on his terms, which must be respected! He gives very clear signals of leaving the situation when he has had enough and should never be pressed further. If these requirements sound doable for you and your family, please complete an adoption application on our website! To adopt Chocolate Charlie, please complete an adoption application at peacelovepoms.rescuegroups.org. The $350 adoption donation includes core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distemper, and Bordatella), Accuplex (Heart worm and Lyme test), fecal, microchip, bloodwork, neuter, and all the cuteness you can handle!
