Meet Charlie, our Texoma Observer Dog of the Month in partnership with Dog Ranch ! β€οΈ
Charlie is a 7-month-old Border Collie mix who was recently rescued from an emergency situation and is now ready for the fresh start she deserves. Even after a scary week, this sweet girl is already showing everyone how loving, people-friendly, and ready-for-a-family she really is.
Charlie is looking for a foster home β or even better, a foster-to-adopt home. π‘
One important note: she needs a home without cats. π±β
Come meet Charlie at on Friday, June 12 from 12β2 and see if this sweet face belongs in your life.
Canβt foster or adopt? Sharing helps more than you know. Letβs help Charlie find her people, Texoma. πΆπ
