Ideal home: Sparky needs an experienced and committed home with patient owners who are around most of the time and willing to help him build confidence at his own pace. In the right home, we truly believe Sparky will become a loyal and wonderful companion.

Charlie
Age: 11 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Shih-tzu
Size: Small
Energy level: Low
About me: Charlie is a sensitive boy who takes his time getting to know new people, but once he feels safe, his true personality begins to shine. After losing his owner, Charlie has been feeling understandably overwhelmed by all the changes in his life. At the shelter, he has chosen a few favourite people to trust, and with those familiar faces his cheeky, affectionate side comes out!
Cats: No.
Dogs: No.
Children: Adult only home.
Ideal home: Charlie will need a calm, experienced home with people who understand that he’ll take time to settle in. He has been through many changes in his life and has begun to show some behavioural issues as a way of coping. He’s looking for owners who are happy to take a hands-off approach; despite his adorable face, Charlie prefers to interact on his own terms and will seek attention only when he feels comfortable.
