Pet of the Week: Sweet pup Charlie is looking for a good home

Charlie is a 3-year-old male rat terrier mix and weighs about 12 pounds

Charlie is a 3-year-old male rat terrier mix and weighs about 12 pounds (ID #A485014).

He is a very sweet boy but can be a little shy around people at first. Once used to you, he loves to have his head gently scratched. He is good on a leash and likes to go for walks. After a nice walk with his humans, Charlie loves a good snuggle.

He is also learning to sit on command. Charlie would do best in a home with children 12 years and older who will understand that he needs to get used to them before he will really start playing.

If you’re looking for a sweet little guy to be part of your family, Charlie would love to meet you. He is currently available for adoption at the Kirkland Petco at 12040 NE 85th St., Kirkland, WA.
