CHARLEY | 4/5- YEAR-OLD WHIPPET GOLDEN LAB MIX | RICHARDSON, TEXAS
Meet Charley, the adorable Whippet Golden Lab mix known for her buff-colored ears and loving nature. Charley lives at home with Mary Shumway and her granddaughter, Aislyn Shumway.
Charley’s story is a heartwarming tale of rescue and love. “Charley is a rescue. My granddaughter saw her at the mall while we were there to see Santa. We already had four dogs at home. Aislyn cried for four hours but stopped long enough to get her picture made with Santa,” Mary recalls. Despite having a full house of pets, Charley’s bond with Aislyn was undeniable, and she became a cherished member of the family.
Charley goes everywhere with Aislyn, and they share a special bond. “Charley wants to always be where Aislyn is. Charley loves going to the barn and going horse showing,” Mary shares. Their adventures together have strengthened their connection, making Charley an integral part of Aislyn’s life.
Rescued during Christmas at the mall, Charley has adapted well to her new home. At approximately 4/5 years old, Charley is known for her friendly and sociable nature. “Charley gets along with everything. Big, little, cat, horse—does not matter. She loves everything,” Mary says.
Charley’s favorite treat is food, and she eagerly enjoys whatever she is given. Her affectionate and easygoing personality makes her a joy to be around.
Charley loves to be involved in all activities, especially going to the barn and horse shows with Aislyn.
Mary, Aislyn, and Charley look forward to many more happy memories together, filled with love and companionship.
