Meet Charlie!



We've sure gotten good feedback from all our HEA friends about the adoption updates we post, giving you the scoop about the wonderful cats and dogs who've made their way into their forever homes. But we get lots of questions about the new faces at the Sanctuary who arrive to take their place until they, too, find their forever families. You can always find info about our residents on the HEA web site (www.happilyeverafterinfo.org/up_for_adoption), but sometimes it takes a while to get their official profiles up. Since social media is such a great tool to get info out there quickly, we're going to start "introducing" you to the new faces (and maybe even some who have been here a while but need a "re-introduction") at HEA via Facebook and the blog as often as possible. And we'll start with a very special little guy: Charlie!

Charlie is a 4-year-old cockapoo who arrived almost two weeks ago. He's absolutely adorable, as you can clearly see from the pictures here. But what the pictures don't show is how sweet and fun and loving he is! One of our volunteers took him home for a few hours one night this week while Amanda did some work at the new adoption center. And he was fantastic in a home setting! He is a nice little companion on walks and loves to snuggle and give kisses. He wants to play but isn't quite sure how yet. (We're not sure if he got to play with fun things called toys at his last home.) We also notice that he's a bit shy of men, but he's curious about them, too, so we know if he is around nice men for a while, he'll learn to trust them fairly easily.

So why was this angel surrendered by his family? They said he had bitten the dad and a teenage boy. We haven't seen this side of Charlie at all and believe these were likely isolated or provoked incidents. So if you know you're ready to meet and love this super guy, just e-mail us at heainfo@aol.com. We'd be open to both foster care or permanent adoption! And we know Charlie would love to meet you, too!
