Prince Charles 'Charlie' Charlie a Scottish Terrier Mix, dilute brindle, is aproximately 8yrs old, 30 lbs, neutered and up to date on shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, and rabies, microchipped, heart worm negative and has been diagnosed with environmental allergies that requires life time medical care. We are unsure what he is mixed with, Poodle, Schnauzer, Terrier? Charlie and about 30 other dogs in very poor medical condition and treatment from a horrible hoarding situation arrived at a Animal Shelter in California. Poorly socialized and many with health conditions limited them to rescues only. ASTR rapidly stepped in and commited to rescuing several of these dogs. The medical costs of getting each of these dogs healthy has far exceeded their adoption fees. Charlie skin at the time was covered in sores, bacterial and fungal infections and he was so miserably itchy. Quickly we worked to treat his skin with medications, medicated baths and lots of TLC. Yet he seemed very itchy and painful. We took Charlie to an Allergy and Skin Vet where he was tested, diagnosed with environmental allergies and a special serum was designed just for him. He has also received a few doses of Cytopoint injections to help with the allergy symptoms. He continues to get frequent baths to remove pollen from his fur and to prevent recurrant skin infections which he is prone to due to his environmental allergies. He has a Avagard D skin antiseptic creme put on any itchy spots daily between bath time to help prevent infection. Due to COVID this is on backorder and Duoxo Mousse is being substituted. The Avagard D definately works best. He does well with topical medications, ear cleanings and showers. He does squirm with getting his shots so a good holder and a nice treat after is a great help. Charlie will only be adopted to a home that will commit to continue his medical treatments. When Charlie arrived at his foster home in WA he was very fearful and shy. He chose to hide as much as possible or stay close to his foster dad. He initially needed to be carried outside to the grass as he would freeze like a statue otherwise. He hid from the dog sitter for a month yet let her pick him up everytime. He eventually learned that his foster mom, dad and dogsitter will not harm him nor make him stay outside. Patience treats and at times limiting how much hiding he was allowed helped. He started to learn from watching the other dogs. He sleeps on the bed with his foster parents and often steals part or all of their pillows. He prefers them to go out with him and the other dogs and will look over his shoulder to see if you are coming. Charlie loves toys he can grab and shake, squeaky toys and things he can chew on like antlers, greenies, dried beef cheeks. When he is done with a toy or chew he likes to hide them in the couch or dog beds. He finds it fun to gather up any toys in the bedroom and move them to a dog bed or the couch. He will play with the other dogs some, has a good Scottitude about him, has been around big and small dogs. We have not had him around cats. He is fearful around noisy and active small children. When afraid he chooses to hide. Charlie can only go to a home without small children. Older children in the home should be respectful and understanding of Charlies needs. Charlie thrives in a home with a calm environment, other dogs and not alot of visitors. He needs a secure fenced yard or to always be leashed when outside. If there is a spot in a fence he can fit through he will make a go for it. He does not seem phased by loud noises in the home and is quite curious about things like vacuums, hammers, electric mixers and blenders. When strangers visit he tends to hide and takes days, even weeks before wanting to interact with new humans. When his foster parents traveled he did so much better staying in his home with foster grandparents coming to stay at the house than he di
