An unfortunate trend that seems to be on the rise in the Valley is pet abandonment. Whether due to eviction, not being able to afford a furry friend any longer or another major life change, the Arizona Humane Society’s Animal Rescue and Cruelty Team are sadly seeing more and more pets left behind.
This is such the case for adorable Charlie, a three-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who was found abandoned at a park tied to a palm tree in the middle of a sweltering June day. Thankfully, she was found before heat exhaustion could overcome her and was found to be a little underweight when evaluated in the shelter’s trauma hospital but otherwise pretty healthy.
In her time at the Arizona Humane Society, Charlie has shown she absolutely loves people and does great with kids but would do best as the only pup in her future forever home. It is very rare to see this cute pup without a tail wag or smile on her face as she is always having a great time showing off her tricks and exploring new places. This cutie would especially love a family that enjoys taking naps as much as she does after a long day!
In an effort to help more pets find homes, the Arizona Humane Society is hosting $0 adoptions for ALL pets on Saturday, August 8th. Charlie’s adoption fee includes her spay surgery, current vaccinations, a microchip, and a follow-up wellness exam with a VCA Animal Hospital. Visit this gorgeous girl at the Arizona Humane Society's Papago Park Campus or learn more at azhumane.org/adopt to give her the loving forever home she deserves.
