Story
Charlie is being adopted from a foster home. If you are interested in meeting him please email availablepets@gmail.com as the clinics will have no information. Charlie is a 5 ½ year Retriever mix who was found as a stray in Texas. He came all the way to Illinois to find his forever home. Charlie suffers from separation anxiety and will need an experienced owner. A very stylish crate has been donated and will come with Charlie to his future home. Also, dog training sessions will be paid for, to help Charlie and his new family learn to handle his separation anxiety. If there are other dogs in the household, they should meet Charlie to make sure that they will get along. Charlie has spent time in a foster home, where he did very well. Charlie even went on a shopping trip to a pet store! Charlie loves to play and go for walks!
