Like so many other beautiful and sweet dogs around the world, Charlie was about to meet his fate when he was surrendered by his previous owner and put on a kill list at one of the many animal shelters in New York City.
His previous owners stated that he was “completely untrainable, destructive, bitter, dumb and that he just ‘’didn’t listen’’. What they didn’t know or care to learn was that Charlie is deaf.
That’s until his new mom, Colleen, who was searching for a new pup, adopted this beautiful boy, and Charlie’s life took a turn for the better!
Now he is a pampered dog, and his mom learned American Sign Language to help Charlie understand basic commands like, sit, stay, heel, lie down, and adapted it to help him understand it.
After 6 months of extensive training, Charlie is now a service and therapy dog.
Charlie has an adorable and impressive Instagram account, where he parades his beautiful self and awesome adventures!
Being deaf hasn’t stood on his way of being an awesome dog!
Charlie’s story shows us that no dogs are broken to the point of being abandoned. They offer us friendship and unconditional love. Please consider adopting a shelter animal. You will save a life and gain a best furry friend forever!
