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.
