Charlie is an adorable 7 year old Terrier boy who was handed into us due to a change in his family’s circumstances. He had been their cherished boy since he was a puppy and they were heartbroken at having to part with him.


In October 2010, Charlie was diagnosed with diabetes. This is now stabilized with twice daily insulin injections. He has limited vision due to his diabetes but his lack of eyesight doesn't bother him or stop him enjoying his life to the full. He has an acute sense of smell and his hearing is very good, both help to compensate for his lack of sight. He can tell the difference between light and dark.

His diabetes is stable and it's not as frightening as it may sound giving him an insulin injection twice a day. He is a very good boy who knows the routine very well, after his meal he sits and waits for his treat, has his insulin nicely and then has another treat.

We realise the diabetes and its costs may put people of this lovely man, so we are willing to cover the costs of his diabetes and other veterinary treatment he requires for the rest of his life.


He is a wonderful boy and a real character. He enjoys gentle walks and the only thing he loves more than playing with a ball is having a nice cuddle! He loves his toys and can sniff one out from under the sofa, or anywhere else he has lost one.

Charlie adores the grandchildren and would be happy to live with older children as he wouldn’t be happy being jumped all over by toddlers.
Charlie can be a little picky about dogs he likes and dogs he isn’t so keen on so he’d prefer to live as an only dog but could possibly live with another dog or two if they got on well.

We wish to find our Charlie a permanent foster home, he is happy with his current fosterer but we would love him to have a special place all to himself where he can have all the love, fuss and attention he deserves, instead of sharing with a variety of temporary foster dogs coming and going.


Although slightly wary at first, once he gets to know you he’ll be your best friend for life. Can anyone offer Charlie the forever foster home he so deserves?

Bless him, isn't he a sweetie

The little girl in the photo reminds me of my daughter, she has glasses just like my gracie

Hope Charlie finds a loving home soon, it looks like he has been waiting a long time

Charlie has been waiting such a long time. I think the diabietes puts people off, but it really isnn't such a big deal and FOATA will cover the costs for a lifetime for him.

I hope someone comes along soon
