Charlie (fostered on Crete)

Update 24.08.2023:

Charlie has been with us for quite a while. He is a smart dog.

Charlie is truly one of a kind- his character is so unique, it’s almost impossible to put into words and it sets him apart from anyone else.

He flew over to Athens twice because he had an ulcer on his eye that wouldn’t heal. Since then he has been in foster care by one of the staff.

Thankfully the treatment was successful and the ulcer has now healed. He does have a problem with dry eyes that requires ongoing treatment but there is the chance that the treatment can be tapered down over time.

Charlie is around 6 years old (possibly older), stands about 45cm tall and weighs 15kg.

Charlie is an easygoing and confident dog — you can take him along no matter where you go. He loves car rides and he can sleep literally anywhere, whether it’s a busy airport or a restaurant.

He’s house trained and enjoys the peace and quiet of his foster home. He also loves attention and cuddles.

Charlie doesn’t just sound like the perfect dog- he is! He’s waiting for the right person to come along

Charlie is a completely misunderstood pooch.
Even I had the wrong impression of him in the beginning.
You see, Charlie seemed like a kid with OCD. When he put something in his mind, he only would focus on that, I thought. But this is not the case.
 
You see, Charlie is not OCD.
He is actually receptive to you even when you think that he is engulfed in his thoughts.
Charlie is sensitive and smart.
Charlie has a humorous side.
He also gives super cutey looks.
He’s so adorable.
Charlie always has a teddy bear in his bed.
He is one of my favorites.
 
Charlie came to us with Erlichia, a tick born infection. We have been treating it vigorously for over a year. We are having his latest tests very soon, he is most probably cured but once we have the results we will update this post.
Charlie gets along with most everyone, he plays in a group of over thirty animals.
Charlie does have a trigger to pain (he was most probably physically abused) so I would suggest this little man go to a home without children.
Consider my “softy with a hard shell” Charlie.
He will warm the deepest part of your soul. Promise.

His story:

Charlie is really cool! He followed home one of our fosters when she was walking her dogs and he decided to stay.

She took care of him for a while, but couldn’t keep him because she already had too many animals to look after. Charlie is a very sweet and sensitive soul.

He’s very friendly with humans and good with other dogs. From what we can see at the shelter he has some prey drive and therefore may not be suitable for homes with cats.
