The press release from Austin Pets Alive! says,”The authorities intervened just in time, and Charli made her way to a local shelter before coming to Austin Pets Alive! (APA!). The ongoing investigation saved Charli thanks to a concerned citizen and security cameras showing the incident. Due to the concern for Charli’s safety, the pup was unavailable for local adoption and was pled to rescues around the country. Right now, in a transport van with 25 other dogs on their way to Chicago, Charli is starting a new journey to find someone who loves her. “That’s what she wants most,” the shelter staff told APA!.
