UPDATE 7/25: Charlie has been adopted!
Here is the Anchorage Daily News Dog Blog Pet of the Week:
Charlie (A198349)
Please meet Charlie, an 11 year old, neutered male, shih tzu mix. This sweet little guy is happy, easy-going and gentle. He loves people, likes sitting in your lap, and will sit nicely for his treats and take them gently. He walks easy on his leash and does great with the other shelter dogs in Play Group, though he seems to prefer people to dogs. Give this guy a lap to crawl in and some snuggles and he is one happy boy! Attentive, friendly and very loving. Very personable companion! Charlie can be adopted for $115, which includes his MOA dog license, vaccinations, and microchip.

Charlie is so cute. I suspect he will be scooped up fast.
