My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cha Cha is a sweet little senior spitfire (aro 10+ years) who may not see and hear like she used to, but still loves exploring the great outdoors and then settling in for a good snooze!

She’s an independent soul who forges her own path as she goes, and gladly welcomes other calm, easy-going dogs and cats along for the ride. Her partial blindness and hearing loss does cause her to surprise and startle easily, so she will need a patient family who will help her navigate safely (we’re recommending children over the age of 10).

She’s been eating special UR wet food which she loves! She doesn’t mind being crated, and even goes there for naps sometimes.

Cha-Cha is partially blind, she receives daily eye medications. She does see shapes and can get around fine once she figures out the lay-of the land. She was donated a Halo for added safeness while in the yard. She loves walks and would do well with an active family.

She’s just waiting on her dental surgery, which will be completed prior to adoption. All other medical has been taken care of. She has a 2/3 grade L side heart murmur that does not need medications at this time and has been cleared for anesthesia during dental, eye medications, complete lab work up, vaccinations and fully vetted.

More about this rescue

Our mission is.....

Charlie's Foundation is a 501c3 not-for-profit charitable organization. We strongly believe and will strive to improve the quality of life for senior dogs left behind in shelters and in dire need of care and compassion in their golden years. We also believe in strong and ethical partner relationships, to include an all foster based rescue. We will strive to help educate owners who feel a shelter may be their only resource available for their senior companion. Most importantly to be their advocate for spay and neuter programs and to help owners in need find low cost programs.


Their reality is.....

Seniors are often deemed less adoptable and when shelters need space they are the first ones to be put-to-sleep. They often languish in the shelter system not understanding where they are and quickly shut down when they realize they will never see their beloved owners again. Most are in dire need of medical care and crave the simplest of human interaction. Most only receive the interaction they longed for when they are removed from their kennel once their time has run out. This is the most heart wrenching of realities knowing that the interaction only comes at the expense of ending their lives that fateful day.

Our Promise is.....

To rescue and improve the quality of life for senior dogs. To be an advocate for spay and neuter programs and to help owners in need find low cost programs. To provide the best medical care, or in some cases the strength to compassionately let them cross over to The Rainbow Bridge.
