A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 LOCAL WEATHER Pet of the week Today's Weather Hi, my name is Charlie. I am one of four male and two female Labrador pup- pies available for adoption at the Humane Society of Eastern Oregon Pet Rescue in Hermiston. I was surrendered by my owner, and I need a new home. I’ve already had my shots, and I am good with children and oth- er dogs. I am about 8 weeks old and can be adopted for $150. I come with a free vet check and a three-day return policy. If I am neutered at 6 months of age, my owner will receive a $50 refund. If you are interested in welcoming Charlie or his brothers and sisters to your family, please stop by the humane society at 1844 N.W. Geer Road, Hermiston, or call 541-564-6222.
