Charger Is Fanwood's Pet Of The Week

FANWOOD, NJ — Meet Charger! He has been chosen as Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch's Pet Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"This is Charger Maloney from Fanwood. Charger is mostly, if not all, silky terrier. He is a rescue. He just celebrated his 10th adoption day with us because we picked him up on Mother’s Day. He was only two and half pounds when we adopted him and now he's a healthy, happy 19 pounds.

Charger really likes to go for walks (but not too long). He lives for his twin 22-year-old human 'siblings'. They love to play and provide endless easily accessible sock options. He is a Jets fan. His favorite activity is napping in the sun in his backyard."

— Brian and Kathleen C. Maloney, Fanwood
