Pet of the Day: Charlie!

Apr 1, 2014

This is no April Fool’s joke: Charlie is still in need of a Forever Family and is today’s Pet of the Day!! He’s a 3 year old German shepherd Akita mix. He has a lot of energy and would fit best in an active home. Charlie would make a great jogging companion or walking partner. He would be a fantastic addition to a young couple’s home or a mature family. He’s a sweet boy and incredibly smart; the possibilities are endless with the proper training. If you or someone you know would like to be a part of Charlie’s Forever Family please stop by our shelter to meet him Monday – Saturday between 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
