Islip Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Charlie

If you're looking for a new companion, consider starting your search at a local animal shelter like the Islip Animal Shelter.

One of their available pets is Charlie, a 1-year-old Lab/Hound mix who needs medical care.

Here's a full description of Charlie from the Islip Animal Shelter Facebook page:

Meet Charlie! Charlie is the most handsome Lab/Hound mix. He's only one year old and has a long, happy life ahead of him but unfortunately this big guy suffers from Bilateral Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) and needs double surgeries! This condition is due to having chronic untreated ear infections. We're looking for a rescue, or just an amazing family willing to adopt him, who will be willing to pay for both of his surgeries. Charlie is dog and people friendly. He's praying there is someone out there willing to take the chance on him who can afford the medical care he needs!

The Islip Animal Shelter is located on 210 S Denver Avenue in Bay Shore and is open Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about the Islip Animal Shelter, visit their Facebook page here.
