MSPCA-Angell's Pet of the Week: Charlie the Puppy

Posted: 08/31/12 at 9:20 am EDT      Last Updated: 08/31/12 at 10:02 am EDT

Charlie the puppy is one spirited fella. 

At six months old this red Labrador/Hound mix was adopted into a new home, only to be returned to the MSPCA-Angell in Boston because his family felt he was too high-energy. While it’s very sad to see him homeless once again, staffers at the MSPCA-Angell adoption center are confident that the perfect single, couple or family is just waiting to discover this boy.

Charlie has a super-sweet temperament and he loves people and other dogs. He has a lot of energy and needs daily walking and would love to find someone who wants to treat him to daily rounds at the dog park, where he can chase toys and make friends with other canines. He’s becoming increasingly skilled at walking on a leash and learning basic commands. And with some additional puppy training the MSPCA is confident he’ll make an excellent companion for the right adopter. Charlie is neutered, which means he can go to his forever home today!
