Charlie is a 4 year old French Bulldog in Elkton, MD, who needs $2,000 for Respiratory Failure.

Charlie is our 4 year old Frenchie. Charlie is the youngest of our three dogs, and is the little brother to Tucker a Frenchie, and Rocco our German Shepard. Charlie is the baby among the bunch, he’s a mamas boy, he’s our cuddle bug, he loves to give kisses and sleep in our lap. Charlie is your typical high energy Frenchie, and he’s our mischievous one. Charlie is a very special boy!

Charlie has always been a healthy dog. Last Friday, we saw him acting differently, he wasn’t himself and was lethargic. We rushed him to the ER and were told it was IVDD, a spinel ailment known in frenchies. They didn’t have a Neurologist working the weekend, so they sent us home with meds. While we drove to the vet, he went into respiratory distress. He’s currently at Blue Pearl Vet in Newark, DE

Charlie and all our animals are special. We adore Charlie. He’s the baby boy, the funny one. Charlie loves all his brothers and we couldn’t imagine our lives without Charlie. Charlie brings smiles to our faces everyday. Charlie loves to sing (howl) with Rocco, and play tug-a-war with Tucker. He’s always trying to sneak a snack or will be at your feet smiling, waiting for that handout.

This is an unexpected situation and we have no backup money for the vet expenses. Charlie was intubated and is currently in an oxygen chamber, hoping it will help him breathe on his own. It would mean the world to us for Charlie to be back home where he belongs! We love him!
