Charlotte
Meet Charlotte - She came to us via a
pet store. The store sold Charlotte. It was reported that Charlotte had 2
"episodes" that the people felt might be seizures. The store did not want
her anymore so after she was returned to them she was given to us. Our
veterinarian sent blood tests to the lab to check all her organs and she is
fine. We have had Charlotte under a 24 hour watch for more than 2 weeks and
there have been no "episodes". At this time we believe Charlotte is a
healthy puppy.
After a few good meals, lots of love and the new adventure of running in the
grass, Charlotte's ribs and hips have filled out and she is ready for her
forever home.
Charlotte's personality is wonderful! It is so much fun to explore the
'world' with her and watch her conquer every new piece of it. She felt rain
for the first time today and was amazed - looking up, wondering where it was
coming from and trying to catch as much of it as possible! She loves her
new foster brother and plays with him until she finally wears him out. She
does her best to play with the cat too - but he has no interest in silly
puppy behavior.
She caught on to paper training very quickly and is about 70% housebroken -
not bad for a girly that spent her life in a cage. We've begun clicker
training with her and she's starting to understand that too - good girl
Charlotte! But what wins everyone over with Charlotte is her desire to
cuddle with people - she will snuggle as close as she can and fall asleep in
your arms, melting away every bit of trouble that may have come your way.
Before you decide that you MUST have Charlotte, please understand that one
of NBR's main goals is to stop the revolving door lives that so many of our
dogs, (and Charlotte is a perfect example) have lived. So ask yourself, are
you home most of the day and night? Are you prepared for puppy antics -
teething, potty accidents, stealing your slippers? Do you have the time,
patience and love that a puppy needs and deserves? Are you committed to the
idea that brining a puppy home means that you are committed to that puppy
for its entire lifetime? Because if you have any doubt, please consider one
of NBR's wonderful older dogs. A puppy means work, lots and lots of work.
But if you believe, as we do, that a puppy can be a wonderful addition to
your life, then Charlotte is waiting to meet you and your family (which we
hope includes another, older dog to continue teaching Charlotte proper puppy
behavior.)
