Charlie - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Lakewood Ranch, Florida

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED — PALM BEACH COUNTY 🚨

This little guy has already been through enough. 💔 After being hit by a car, he was brought into the shelter by an officer from West County. No microchip was found, and now this sweet 8-year-old boy is desperately hoping someone will step up to give him a safe place to recover. 🐾

💛 The good news? He is doing SO much better!

When he first arrived, he had a neurological twitch and some balance issues. But look at him now! His twitch has resolved, he is walking on his own, and his balance has improved tremendously. He happily walks down the hallway by himself, and the shelter staff say any remaining deficiencies are barely noticeable.

And his personality? Absolutely precious. 🥹

He is described as very sweet and happy, loves attention and pets, and is BAR (bright, alert, responsive). His heart and lungs sound normal, his breathing is normal, and his vet believes he is recovering nicely and will likely make a full recovery.

He’s an adorable 8-year-old, 11-pound little guy who deserves to spend his recovery somewhere warm, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will remind him that he is safe. ❤️

🏠 We urgently need a foster!

He doesn’t need someone to fix the world for him. He just needs a soft place to land while he finishes healing and gets the love he should have had all along.
