Before being adopted, Charlie had been spayed and had surgery for a hernia .

After further testing and treatment, medical notes show the dog had renal dysplasia.

The Ontario SPCA said they were “deeply saddened by this situation and extend our heartfelt condolences to Charlie ’s family during this difficult time.

Some shelters do not require it because in 99 per cent of cases, the bloodwork comes back normal.
