My story

Meet Charlie - The "Bone-afide" Sweetheart! Looking for a gentle giant with a heart of gold and a spirit that won't quit? Then say hello to Charlie, an adult male Akita who proves that a little wobble just adds character! This handsome fella may have a unique gait (thanks to a bone disorder in his legs), but don't let that fool you – he’s got more joy in his paws than most dogs have in their whole bodies. Charlie was rescued by ZAC's Mission from a less-than-ideal past as a stud dog in a puppy mill. But those days are long behind him, and he's ready to embrace a future filled with love, comfy beds, and all the gentle pets he can handle. He's a quiet soul who prefers a calm environment, content to gracefully explore the yard at his own pace. In fact, he's quite the adventurer – he even charmed the socks off volunteers by confidently climbing platform stairs, just to prove he's still got it! This big lug is incredibly sweet and takes treats with the utmost care, a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He's been known to win over everyone he meets with his calm demeanor and affectionate leans. And good news for those with furry residents: Charlie has shown he can happily coexist in a home with a large, female dog! If you're ready to open your heart to a resilient, loving companion who will fill your life with quiet devotion and a few adorable quirks, Charlie is your guy. He may not be winning any races, but he'll definitely win your heart. Don't miss the chance to welcome Charlie into your family! Visit our website and online application at www.bigeastakitarescue.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Charlie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
