The feature is Charlie from MidAmerica Border Collie Rescue

Charlie is an extraordinary dog looking for an extraordinary home. Charlie is neutered and approximately 6 years old, who LOVES kids, is great with other dogs and cats, and is housetrained. Charlie is also mostly blind...but don't tell him! He gets around just fine, even navigating the stairs to the yard without incident. Charlie has some partial sight and as long as he gets his ointment, only one medication once a day, he should retain the sight he has), but that does not stop him from doing anything. He goes up and down stairs like a champ, navigates around furniture without a problem and loves going for walks. He just kicks his front feet out in front of him, making him look very regal.

Charlie is housetrained and is left loose in my house while I am gone during the day. Charlie must have at least one other dog in the house. He really relies on having someone else to be his eyes and panics if he is left completely alone. Because of his limited vision, Charlie counts on the other dogs to let him know what is going on and must be placed in a home with at least one other dog. He is very submissive and has gotten along with everything from puppies to my grumpy old poodle. Charlie loves lots of activity and does best in a home with multiple dogs and kids or with someone who is home most of the time.

Charlie typically sleeps curled up around my daughter at night and is just the most easy going dog you could ever hope to meet. He is always happy, and as my daughter says, if you are having a bad day, just hug Charlie and you will feel better. Charlie loves a house with lots of energy. He loves Brownie night when ten squealing 8 year olds all come to see him! Charlie has yet to meet anyone he does not like. His view of the world is that there are friends and friends he hasn't met yet!

Charlie is being fostered in KY. For more information you can email Jean at jgibowski@yahoo.com or if you think you might be the perfect home for Charlie, you can fill out an application at http://www.midamericabcrescue.com/.
