Charlie, a 3-year-old, 57lb sweetheart, has overcome a tough past — clipped ears and a heartworm battle — and come out healthy, trained, and full of love. Through our Paws in the Pen program, he spent 8 weeks learning basic training alongside two devoted inmate partners and is now ready for a forever home. Charlie is affectionate, gentle, and endlessly forgiving. He loves to be near, leans into pets, and meets you with eyes that say, “I still believe in love.” Fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and trained, he’s ready to show a family the joy of a second chance. Apply on our website to meet Charlie — he’s guaranteed to steal your heart! Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española.
