Charlie brown - ADOPTED!
Meet Charlie Brown! He is a 4 year old, chihuahua dachshund mix. He looks like a small chocolate brown lab. He was found as a stray in Modesto and had just 10 days before he was faced with being put down at the shelter due to overcrowding. Sadly, this is a too-common fate for so many dogs who don’t make it, but luckily for Charlie Brown, our rescue was able to save him when he was within a day of being euthanized.
Charlie Brown is about the sweetest dog you could meet. He is very gentle with people but can be overwhelmed by young children. His future home would preferably be one with adults only or older teenage children who have dog experience. He is also very active and energetic and will need an active home, perhaps one where someone is a runner. Like many young dogs, his high energy can turn destructive if he doesn't have an outlet through exercise and play. He currently weighs about 20 lbs but could stand to gain some weight.
Some fun facts about Charlie Brown:
Won’t you come meet this sweet boy today. After all, “happiness is a warm puppy”.
Charlie Brown is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and micro-chipped. If you’d like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application and a volunteer will be in touch.
