Charlie - WOK - Shih Tzu and Miniature Schnauzer Dog Available for Adoption in Albert Lea, Minnesota

Charlie is a Shih Tzu/Miniature Schnauzer mix that made his way to rescue, to Almost Home Foster & Rescue of MN by way of Seminole County Animal Shelter in Wewoka OK. He, and his friend, Thomas, were surrendered to the shelter. Due to the high intake rate at the shelter, the animals are given a 3-day hold period, then euthanized, regardless of their breed, health, disposition. We were able to make room for, and secure these two.

Charlie is approximately 1.5 - 2 years of age. He weighs 10-12#. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations, DHLPP, Bordetella, Rabies, is Heartworm Negative, is neutered and microchipped. Charlie is ready for his furever home and family.

Charlie does well with all other dogs, indifferent to cats, and loves to be cuddled by all humans, kids and adults.


Charlie is truly a lap dog and loves to cuddle with his human. He is the perfect size for those families that travel. Charlie would love to have a stay at home pet parent, and another fur-sibling would be the icing on the cake.


If you are interested in giving Charlie the home and family that he deserves, please visit our website: almosthomefoster.com and submit an application.

Charlie is sure to capture the hearts of many.
