Pet of the Week

Charlie

Charlie cudda been sumbudy; he cudda been a contenda'. Bred to be strong and muscular, Staffordshire terriers can be awesome fighters if so trained. Fortunately, Charlie takes advantage of his breed's other characteristics: being good-natured, extremely loyal and affectionate family pets. Staffordshire terriers are good with children and always obedient. Charlie is a 1-year-old neutered and house-trained dog, a very handsome brindle. He grew up with six kids and gets along great with other dogs. He is quiet and anxious to go the distance with a new family.
