Arriving at a shelter at the age of 1, Charlie became the longest resident there, without those who took care of him understanding why, reported DogTime. A woman named Christine finally traveled from Ohio (United States) to take him home.
Charlie was only a year old when he arrived, and no one wanted to see this dog stay so long within these walls. Those who looked after him on a daily basis, however, described him as a very affectionate companion, and they admitted that they could not explain such a long stay. The quadruped had everything to please, but it did not seem to interest visitors and potential adopters.
Scratching the window wasn't enough
In his box, the young dog often stationed himself near the window. When a person approached, he would start scratching the window.
Week after week and after vain attempts to attract attention, this wait at the shelter did not lead to any adoption.
A short video, then a long road to a new life
The turning point came from a volunteer at the shelter, who had the good idea to put online a short video retracing the journey of Charlie. The images thus published aroused widespread emotion among Internet users.
Among the latter, a woman named Christina has, for her part, traveled a long distance from the state of Ohio to go to the shelter in order to meet and adopt the dog.
Exciting news from Charlie
A video shows him welcoming his new family by wagging his tail enthusiastically. Before leaving the place for good, Charlie still took the time to have fun with his favorite toys and with his shelter companions.
The reception structure subsequently indicated that it had received a message from the new owner of Charliegiving him joyful news about his 4-legged companion. She confirmed that he was doing well and happy in his new home. After 90 days of waiting, the dog found the home and environment that he deserved and that everyone hoped for him.
A video shared on the account Instagram sharing.lov returns to the adoption of Charlie. Here it is:
