Looking for Charlie’s angelBy: Jessica GhersiUnderdogI know you’re tired of me asking you togive money and adopt underdogs, so thisweek, I’m going to do something a littledifferent. Just kidding. I’ll do the exactsame thing – and the next week, and thenext week. Basically, I’m going to keep ondoing it until there are no more underdogsout there – which could take a while.This week’s underdog is Charlie. Thisis a major underdog, althoughit may not seemlike it at all. Charlie’s aCockapoo, or some combinationthereof. He’swell behaved, housetrained,neutered andvaccinated. And he doesn’tshed! (Although I justdiscovered an amazingbrush at the dollar storethat picks up dog hair likeit’s going out of style.Was dog hair ever instyle? I digress...) Back toCharlie.He is quite the littlecharacter. He gets alongreally well with dogs andcats and likes playing this game where hesteals your slippers and socks, thoughdoesn’t destroy them. Because then thegame would be over, and what’s the fun inthat?Did I mention he’s calm, quiet, onlybarks when someone’s at the door andeven waits for permission before eating?Basically, he’s perfect. Except for this onelittle big thing. Charlie has epilepsy.This little imperfection is costing Charliethe chance to find a loving home andfamily. Not just a regular family. One that’swilling to put in the extra effort this guyneeds.Let’s be real. There’s going to be a lotof vet visits, monitoring and making surehe’s getting the right meds to keep hiscondition in order.
