Miss Charlie is now Greta

UPDATE FROM ADOPTERS:
She is great! My wife keeps telling me that she is HER dog now because she is such a sweet-souled dog. Faithful, kind, gentle—she lets my kids lay on her like a pillow while watching TV! I have even fallen asleep laying on her hip before…she just sleeps happily. We are extremely happy with her and we are certain that she knows that she has a family now—and we think she likes us by the way her massive tail wags and knocks things over when we come home.

ATTENDING SCHOOL

We did make one change with her…her name. I was tentative at first because I didn’t want to add stress to her. But, we tried and she adapted very well so Charlie is now…Greta! We thought it was a sweet German name for a sweet girl with partial German breed lineage. Charlie or Greta—she’s a wonderful pup.

CISCO THE CAT AND GRETA

Also—she has had two vet visits so far and is very much improving. The demodex count was down a solid 50% as of last week. Furthermore, her chest and tummy are no longer red and have had no new bumps/pustules or sores develop for the last month. She is a hefty 90 pounds now and her vet said she was at her perfect weight based on her size and chest/waist/hips proportions.

NAPS WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Here are a couple recent shots…

--Making herself comfortable in bed with C~ and our cat Cisco

--Playing on the couch

--Playing with Cisco…she adores him but he does not reciprocate those feelings!

--Sleeping while my youngest watches TV

--Attending “school” and listening attentively to my three daughters yesterday

Charlie's story continued in her new home

Continuing from the post yesterday, Miss Charlie, the doberman, is doing great in her new home.

 She certainly has made a best friend in their sheltie!

No problems with the size differential :-)

Miss Charlie moves on to a better life

CHARLIE BEFORE

Charlie, the Doberman/Rottweiler-mix dog, left Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue on May 2nd headed for foster care with the Doberman Rescue Minnesota (www.dobermanrescueminnesota.com). Charlie was getting healthier each day and has gained lots of weight. When she came she was severely malnourished with mange and evidence she had taken a round of buckshot. See original post HERE.

CHARLIE AFTER

She is such a wonderful dog and we are sorry to see her leave but are so happy that she gets a second chance at a great rescue.

Charlie will have a great life ahead of her as an indoor dog and will be well cared for.

During her stay here at the Red Lake Rosie's shelter she became happy as her health improved. She learned to run and play; when she arrived she only walked very slowly. She had many friends here, and we will miss her! Such a sweet personality.

CHARLIE AND FRIENDS

We want to thank Mary of Doberman Rescue and our faithful transporters that helped her get to her new digs.
