Charlotte

Charlotte is a total sweetheart who thrives on love and attention! This 8-year-old, 17lb Shih Tzu will happily curl up with you one minute and be ready for an adventure the next. She's a total joy on walks, enjoying two "long" ones plus several shorter strolls a day. Just a heads up: she has a prey drive and loves chasing rabbits and squirrels, so no off-leash adventures unless it's in a securely fenced yard. Charlotte has been left alone for up to 6 hours and did well. She's still working on her house training but has already made improvement in foster care, usually going out every 3 to 4 hours during the day and sleeping through the night.

Ideal Home

A home where she can receive plenty of love and attention. Due to her prey drive, she needs a securely fenced yard for off-leash time or a home that can provide ample supervised outdoor activity.

Ongoing Health

Charlotte has allergies and is currently on a food trial, so she can only have hypoallergenic food. She's also on daily Apoquel for her itchy skin and receives medicated baths a few times a week. She uses Burrows ear drops to help prevent ear infections and Optimune eye drops for dry eye. Her medications cost approximately $200 per month.

Training & Support

Charlotte is still working on house training but is showing improvement. She has a habit of whining when she wants attention, which is quite cute! She's great with new people and generally does well with other dogs her size. She has lived with cats in the past and would be fine with respectful children.
