Charlize's Pet Care

Remember to always adopt from your local animal rescues/ pounds/ shelters!

Unable to adopt but need some good animal love? Visit your local shelter, or even volunteer! Walk some dogs, or cuddle up with the kitties! But careful they steal your heart very quickly🐾❤️

I love to visit the animal shelters after a long day, there’s always the perfect hidden gems! Like mustard at Watauga humane society!
His little goatee facial hair is just the cutest thing ever!
I love to see and hear about all the success stories! Can’t wait for this little man to find his furrever home!

Hey my lovely community, due to the recent hurricane Helen that hit boone, the humane society is struggling to care for the animals‼️ They are in desperate need of fosters (right now even outside of Watagua county).

If you or anyone you know can help in any way possible please reach out to Boone humane society❗️

Sending love and positive energy to all the animals and people affected by Hurricane Helen🙏🫶

Cold weather reminder ❄️
As the outdoor temperatures starts to drop, cats will hide under car hoods for protection and warmth. Use caution when you start your car in the cold winter month ahead. If cats are left outside, they may climb under the car hood. Before you climb into the car, slap the hood or open it for a quick look around ❤️

Luke was found after being dog napped from our foster family in June with defense wounds, ribs showing, scared of affection, skittish, and fearful. However, we had him fixed up by our kind veterinarian in Costa Rica, where he now has completely recovered and has little to no scarring. His demeanor has improved and returned to his old jolly/loving self. Check out other post to see his post recovery photo!

Our street dogs in Costa Rica are thriving and healthy. Thank you for the support from this amazing community.

Luke (black dog with tongue out) gets neutered tomorrow morning!
Kelly (golden and black dog) was able to get spayed in May, she healed up beautifully.

It has been a long and hard journey but the puppy love and appreciation from them has made it all worth it.

You wouldn’t think we’d have to be hyper-vigilant about the dog shampoos we find on the brightly lit shelves of our favorite grocery store. Just because it’s got a nice label and a place on the shelf, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily safe though. This is especially true about flea and tick dr...

Wow has Oregon been the greatest thing!!! Such an amazing summer! So many amazing animals and places for growth and learning at this pre vet internship

Thank you for the AMAZING community and all the donations🦎🦨🦝🩵🩵
While working on my Vet Tech degree over the summer I have also been able to work with countless squirrels, song birds, birds of prey, skunks, raccoons, and foxes in our clinic. Infant to adults. Then have been able to work with our large variety of ambassadors (permanent resident animals) which range from all over. There are bears, wolves, otters, lizards, snakes, eagles, falcons, etc.

I LOVE IT HERE. All the animals make me not want to leave.

Happy 1 year (and one day) to my sweet litter of puppies!🎉🐾
Thank you for everyone who donated and helped the puppies be adopted and grow into beautiful fur babies to a happy family!
Make sure to look through and see the two puppies who’s pics I have of them recently… wow did they turn out adorable.

Update:
Odie is adopted and happy! We do not need anymore donations. Thank you everyone☺️❤️.

He will have a good recovery. He has 3 major fractures on his hip with some trauma on his bladder.😢💔

The surgery would be $1k which we cannot afford unfortunately. So instead we were told he will be in a doggy wheel chair temporarily or need some assistance BUT then have a good, happy, life with just some walking troubles.

Your donations went to:
X-ray
Wheel chair
Pain medication
Antibiotics
And vitamins

AGAIN, thank you all so much 🐾☺️❤️We could not have done this without everyone’s help!

Quick Update: At the vet now getting exam and X-ray. Lil guy (who we are calling Teddy) made it through the night, but had black urine and can’t walk. He is surprisingly Pura Vida and is alert with tail wagging.

Thanks to y’all, I’ve raised $195, but this diagnostic visit costs $130. I will keep you posted on cost of treatment.

This sweet baby boy was sadly hit by a car this morning💔😢and needs serious medical attention!

After taking him to the vet, with just a examination we were told that he has a broken hip, and maybe a ruptured bladder. There is no known major damages causing it to be necessary to put him down yet

BUT he cannot walk or use the bathroom on his own, and unfortunately he has a good bit of blood in his urine.

Any donations would help!!!❤️🙏🏼

🥺 We don’t want him to suffer any more… but we cannot afford it on our own. 🐾🙏🏼 We need an X-ray to find out the extent of his injuries.

Surgery and other treatments will be kinda expensive but it’s Costa Rica prices so it should be much more achievable with donations. 🇨🇷🙏🏼

He doesn’t have a home or a family, he needs help!
