Feature creature

Don’t let his breed fool you. Although Charlie’s head is as hard as a rock, shelter employees say he’s as softhearted and affectionate as they come.

He isn’t housebroken yet but knows how to sit and come when called. The neutered pup is learning good leash manners and is eager to please.

Anyone interested in adopting Charlie or other animals can visit the SCRAPS shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road, call the shelter at 477-2532 or visit the Web site at www.spokanecounty.org/animal.

Dogs cost $75.01 to adopt, which includes a license, neutering, vaccinations, a microchip implant and a trip to the veterinarian.
