Charlie's Wish Animal Rescue

Dog rescue in Westerville, OH

This rescue is created in the name of our beloved boy Charlie. We want to help dogs out of harm's ways. Charlie was abused and abandoned by his previous owner. He passed away in 2014. Charlie inspired us to start this rescue to save dogs in unfortunate situations and provide them a better life that they all deserve. Our missing is "out of harm's way, one dog at a time."

We are 501(c)3 approved non-profit organization. Your donations are tax deductible.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is between $250 for an adult dog and $350 for a puppy younger than 7 months. Please submit your adoption application at https://charlieswishanimalrescue.org/adoption.html. We will do background check and contact your vet office (if applicable) and your personal reference. We will also do home visit prior to have our dog adopted out. All dogs will be neutered/spayed before the applicant sign the adoption contract. Otherwise, the adopter will sign the foster-to-adopt contract with a deposit till the dog is spayed/neutered. Then we will finalize the adoption with the proof of surgery.
