I got Charlie out of the Toledo Ohio area on Sunday. A 12 hour round trip drive. A friend of mine sent me a Craig's List Ad about him and his sister.

Charlie came from a really bad place...


Well anyways' Charlie, his Mom and 1 sister that is left from a litter of 10, are kept outside in a back yard that I never saw. I never saw the inside of the home, but from the front door it looked like a scene from the show " Hoarders " The home is in a very run down area of Toledo.

When I asked to see Charlie's Mom, I was Horrified at her physical condition.

The Picture I am posting is that of a Street dog out of Spain, a Greyhound type of Breed called a Galago, but this is pretty much what Charlie's Mom looks like, and that's no JOKE...

I also asked the owner for some Kibbles to take with me, so I would not shock his system with a totally new food. The owner came out with some and said, " Dude, I would not use too much of this food with Charlie, because it's CRAP food " I gave him the money, and ran with Charlie. I had a really hard time keeping my mouth shut as to the conditions of his Mom. The food went into the Garbage as soon as I got home.....

The owner stated that it was her 1st litter, a litter of 10, and the puppies sucked the life out of her. As he began selling and giving some of the Pup's away, the Mom started going into a Panic Mode as to where her babies are, and that also made sense to me. He said the Mom does nothing but pace all around the back yard where her and the pups were kept all the time. I noticed that Charlie had several bit marks on him. The owner said it was from Flies. I knew they were not dog types of bites, but the Mom and her puppys were dept out in the back yard all the time.

When I was there he had 1 baby girl left. Some of the pup's are Blue Weimis, and some were Silver as the parents are. Mom is a Blue Weimi, and Dad is a Silver. I never saw the Dad.

I just gave him the $$$ and RAN with Charlie, to get him out of this bad place.

Charlie has visible ribs and hips, but nothing at all in comparison to his Mom.

I think the Dog Food he buys probably costs 9.99 for a 50 lb bag.

Also before I left at 7 PM. I asked the owner when Charlie last ate. His wife said we feed all the dogs in the morning. So Charlie was being fed ONCE a day, along with the rest of the Pup's as I can imagine. I really had a hard time keeping my mouth shut, and I did not want to piss him off, and have him tell me to take a hike without getting Charlie.

I am feeding Charlie about every 6 hrs, small amounts. I weighed him for the first time yesterday, and he is at 15.4. IMO he should be 20, but he will now start gaining proper weight, now that he is with us.

Many people that have seen Charlie in person, and know the Weimi breed, think he is 8-9 weeks old, but he is 12 weeks old. It's the lack of a proper diet that has him looking smaller, but we will now be growing by leaps and bounds now... Charlies Mom was very tall, so I am guessing he could become a 70-100 lb Weimi...{:>))

Now again, this Pic below is disturbing, it is not of a Weimi, this is a Street dog out of Spain, but it is almost exactly what Charlie's Mom's body looks like. After getting the proper info, and talking to Great Lakes Weimi Rescue. I called the Toledo ASPCA this morning and left a message. I also found out yesterday that this couple has been in trouble before. They made the Toledo TV new's for the Abuse, and Neglect of Horses they have or had on a farm... So they have a History. I am just so Glade I saved this little boy Charlie......
