Here’s something new: This dog minds!

Champ has the coloring of a boxer, without the smooshed-up face or the hyperactive personality. He’s quiet and mellow and well trained. At 8 years old, he gets along well with all dogs, big and small, as well as cats and kids.

Champ is neutered and up to date on his shots. He is available for adoption through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or call 360-533-1141. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20 percent discount on adoption fees.
