Plenty of Pets
Charlie is a two-year-old Collie mix who weighs 36 pounds.
She’s house-trained and well behaved on leash. She loves going for walks and cuddling, and is good if left at home alone.
She's a little timid of other dogs when she first meets them, but will warm up to them over time.
Charlie is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $350.
