ASPCA Pet of the Week: This Year’s MVP (Most Valuable Pooch)

Want a brainy boy who knows how to express himself? Charlie is a one-year-old pit bull with hip brindle markings and a liberal kissing policy. Earlier this year, he won second prize in the ASPCA’s annual talent show for the coolest crawl in New York City.

“Charlie is my favorite dog in the shelter!” says Trish McMillan, ASPCA Senior Manager of Animal Behavior. “He's smart and affectionate, loves playing with other dogs, knows obedience commands like Sit, Down, Shake and Roll Over, and has the fastest crawl you've ever seen!”

Our charming Charlie has a lot of energy, and would like to meet someone who’s ready to shake it like a Polaroid picture and nurture his intelligence with thorough training. If you’re interested in adopting this smarty party pooch, please call the ASPCA Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120.
