This week has been an emotional rollercoaster for Charlie’s family and everyone who loves him.
On Monday, their beloved Great Dane Charlie went missing — leaving his family heartbroken and their community rallying together in the search. After days of worry, countless prayers, and incredible community support, Charlie was finally found on Thursday!
While his family is overjoyed to have him home, Charlie is now in the emergency vet hospital, weak and fighting what appears to be pneumonia after his time away. He’s receiving overnight hospital care, which is expensive for a dog his size.
Charlie is truly a gentle giant — a sweet, loving soul who has brought so much joy to his family and everyone who’s met him. His family is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love and support that helped bring him home. Now, they’re asking for help once more — this time to give Charlie the care he needs to recover and return home where he belongs.
Every donation, big or small, will go directly toward Charlie’s emergency vet bills, medications, and follow-up care.
Thank you to everyone who helped search, shared his story, and continues to send prayers. Your kindness has meant the world. Let’s help this gentle boy heal and get back on his big paws again!
Please share and donate if you can — together, we can help Charlie recover!
