Meet Charlie

Many years ago Charlie became the victim of divorce. He wound up in a local pound, where there were no resources to care for him. Charlie came to HUA with an attitude like no other. He was so mad and so upset over losing his home that we wondered if he would ever forgive humans for doing such emotional damage to him. Over the years we have learned that Charlie is one of the funniest characters we have ever known. This clever boy once selected only one person, Grandma Carol, to tolerate, but has come such a long way and now tolerates most of HUA staff. Charlie, who enjoys snacks and treats more than anything else, loves lunch time! During lunch, he will climb onto laps, sniff tables, and paw his caretakers until he successfully convinces them to share whatever is on their plates. He will occasionally accept pets and affection, but is also more than happy to inform anyone when it is time to stop touching him. There is little chance that Charlie would be happy anywhere other than HUA, so he is a Sanctuary Sweetheart.
