Charlotte Update!
Hey! Giving you a Charlotte update! First of all we love her and all her quirks so so much! She’s a shy girl and takes time for her to warm up to new people/dogs/situations. Part of that is it’s so hard to socialize her right now. Also she hates the vet 😂 She is so crazy smart we bought her great puzzles and one was advanced level and she figured it out in 2 min! Our basset hasn’t figured any of them out hehe. She loves her doggie brother with all her heart and her human sisters.
She is a hunter! She hunts alllll the little creatures in the yard, kills them and brings them in the house 🤢 we are working on that lol We did a DNA test on her, I don’t know if you wanted to send the results to her brothers and sisters families.
She is 25% great pyr ,25% Maremma sheepdog, 25% pit and 12.5% chow chow and 12.5 random breeds. She’s expected to be between 50-88 pounds.

Sweet Jenny
Hi Maribel
Thank you to your wonderful organization for saving so many pups, especially during the current difficult time. We adopted our sweet dog Jenny 10 years ago from you…Here she is now. Gray around her snout and fighting some arthritis in her front legs. Our walks are shorter and slower but she’s still plenty perky and a really happy older gal. She’s still my baby! :)Lisa
