New photo of Charlie

This is Charlie when we first got him from the rescue kennels 6 weeks ago, very underweight and full of worms
(10 weeks old)


So very tiny in his big bed

Used FB 12-04-15
Hello


I like my string



It's a set up!!!


Favourite tug toy


Just about to go have lunch, so now I've figured out how to do this I'll post some more later

aww i love his white chin with black face

What a beauty!

That first pic brought tears to my eyes - so thin! He's lucky to have found a good forever home, now, though!

I love his white chin too, looks like he has a little beard! Caryll, he's really growing well now, he was a little over 3kg when we got him but had him weighed yesterday and he's 7.2kg now he's doing really well. Just need to get him confident enough on his lead to go out, the vet yesterday said he's probably reached that age where they are scared of new things unfortunately

Look, all filled out and enjoying his favourite pastime....sleep! lol

lol, looks like he is asking hubby to read him a story here.....

This is how much he fills his bed now....

He really loves his pringles, he just HAS to lick out the inside of the carton!!! lol

i bought a very skinny pup aswell. Very underfed.. One of the reasons I knew i had to take him. He was just bones

Awwww Jason, poor little boy......he's grown into a handsome fella in such a short time though

Aww Kay he looks so much better (and happier) ...
I'm thrilled he can be at peace
And he's blooming gorge to boot!

Wow ... doesn;t look the same dog
He's a corcker now though

We all love him to bits, he has 5 of us showering him with love and visiting family too Luna looks so sweet. If you lined up all the different colours of pups I'd be hard presssed to pick just one out I'd like!! lol

aww thanks guys.. Kay is gonna be a stocky stunner aswell for sure

Wow poor Ramsey I didn't know he came from such a dubious breeder. Poor little mite!

Wow Kay, he has filled up that bed in no time He looks to be doing very well on all your love and care, what a difference it makes.

Amazing

He looks amazing, well done! I have never seen a puppy so skinny

Both Charlie and Ramsey look great now so nice to see the pics of before and after. Both are lovely looking dogs

he was thin you have done a marvelous job with him. He is a credit to you

Jason, I hope you meant Charlie is going to be a stocky stunner and not me!!! lol. Not sure I'd ever get my neck muscles built up like Charlie is! lol, should maybe play tug-of-war a bit more

lol!! I'm sorry. Miss read the name area.. Charlie will be the stunner yes haha

Wow. Ramsey and Charlie both were so skinny poor pups. So glad they're healthy and happy now and Charlie still looks so tiny! Adorable though.

wow they both look super compaired to how u both got them.
charlies got that look Kodi has "yep i look cute but im gonna rule u"

Haha, this picture so reminds me of my Ozzy. Crisp packets are his thing though, he will happily take an empty packet from you and lie down on the floor holding the bag with the two paws and then the nose disappears into the empty packet to try and lick out every last bit of flavour.

Oh bless him poor little mite, had he been at the centre for long? Seems like he's landed on his feet now Looking snug as a bug, you've done an awesome job with him

Rachel, not sure how long he'd been at the centre for but he's been quiet as a mouse every night since we got him which made us wonder if he'd had many nights crying out and no-one coming to him or if we just hit lucky. The rescue owner said he was 10.5 weeks old but the vet thinks he may have been a little younger.

Love the pic of him cuddled up to the teddy. How happy does the teddy look being cuddled up to Charlie

He is very handsome and looks much better now

You did a real good job, he looks fantastic! Great to see a wee puppy belly.

How cute is that dog

Super cute.

New photo of Charlie, at the park yesterday....lol, think the wind caught his ears. He's beginning to get more confident out now, walks great and less cowering when he meets another dog Still not keen when he sees his lead and pulls to stay in but once out a big improvement now

Charlie's looking great now so well done you for giving him a great home

Looking very well , full marks to you

what a beaut! well done aswell on rescuing him!!

Love these two pics of him - he's looking so healthy!

Wow, Jason, I thought you said some time back that Ramsey was well bred! What a way for a breeder to treat a pup!

Aww, his little white chin! And his little podgy belly! Love him!

Amazing, you wouldn't even be sure it was the same dog, he's looking brilliant

What a difference, looking really good,well done

Thanks everyone We are so happy with him. Over on facebook Battersea Dogs Home has posted about needing new fosterers or forever homes for the loads of dogs brought in after Christmas...why do people have dogs if they don't want them? Such a shame they put a picture up of George a 9month old staffy and he's gorgeous....wish we had room for another!

There are an awful lot of Staffords in rescues. I'm trying my best to get Logan to the stage where I can adopt one myself. He's just a bit too excitable with other dogs yet. But def one day.

Another photo of Charlie taken before the snow on 4/1/13
(16.5 weeks old)



It's my bottle and you can't have it!

Wow, my goodness is that the same dog as in the first picture, what a difference. He's certainly looking better now

He looks so much better now Kathy, no longer just skin and bones

He is coming along nicely, well done to you

Thanks Kylie He was so happy just now, I had a cooked lamb bone and knowing he couldn't have it I held it so he could bite all the meat off then I dug out the marrow for him!! lol
