POTW: Charlie

Hi! My name is Charlie (87459). I'm a sweet guy looking for a lifetime of love. I'd love to be someone's constant companion. I am easy going and will peacefully hang out with both humans and canines. In my past home I was crate trained, and still enjoy relaxing in my crate when I'm by myself. I'm also a fan of wearing my special jacket, which helps me relax. I'd love to share the rest of my life with you, please ask to meet me today! Visit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas, or call (408) 262-2133.
