js/app.js 
AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('charles-barkley');
});

AnimalShelter.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  renderTemplate: function() {
    this.render('charles-barkley');
  }
});

AnimalShelter.CharlesBarkleyController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  actions: {
    // your code goes here
    showInfo: function{
    alert("this is an lert bix");
  }
});

Look at this part:

AnimalShelter.CharlesBarkleyController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  actions: {
    // your code goes here
    showInfo: function () {  //***HERE the () was missing.***
    alert("this is an lert bix");
  }
});

You are missing a parenthesis after ...function. It´s function () {}. Copy that part and try it out.

If you liked my answer please give me an upvote :)!!

nope didn't work, but thanks for pointing that out to me, because that would definitely hinder any attempt when i figure it out later on.

Hey I found another mistake:

AnimalShelter.CharlesBarkleyController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  actions: {
    // your code goes here
    showInfo: function{
    alert("this is an lert bix");
  }
}//This other curly braces was missing. To close the actions:{} object.
});

Let me know is this one was it.
