Adopt a Friend: Charlie
- Pima Animal Care Center
- Updated
Charlie, ID A470214
Age: 7 years old
Breed: Bully Breed Mix
Story: Sweet Charlie sports a gentle demeanor, a willingness to please, and a very loving personality. Brought to PACC as a stray back in August, Charlie was helped by our medical team, who took a mass off of his tummy. He is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and is hoping you will come out to let him sweep you off your feet!
Fees: Because of his extended stay at PACC, Charlie has no adoption fee, and his new family will only have to pay the standard $17 license fee. He will go home with all of his shots and a microchip; plus, his family will receive a free vet voucher.
Where: Find Charlie at Pima Animal Care Center, 4000 N. Silverbell Rd; (520) 724-5900; pima.gov/animalcare
