10/21/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Brooklyn is a family dog who lost her family when a fire burned down their home. She is understandably stressed in the shelter but once she warms up she’s a lover beyond compare. Indeed, her former owner says she used to live with six children age six and up (some would try to ride her), as well as a small dog with whom she romped. At the shelter, Brooklyn is so snuggly with her beloveds that there is a “secret” video circulating of her with the subject line: “Warning: graphic make-out video.” Brooklyn alerts to dogs on the street but in playgroup has proven a lovely member of the community, and we sure love her, too. Please, won’t you consider welcoming her into your home, forever? Another volunteer writes: Wearing a gorgeously-groomed tan coat, her face has grey accents — my favorite color combination! In no time she’s been made a ‘helper dog’ in group play. We’re told she lived with a Shih Tzu and play-wrestled with him. She also play-wrestled with her owner and will softly “play bite” as part of the game, never breaking skin, it was all part of the play. Brooklyn knows ‘sit’ (with the hand signal of a closed fist), she’s walked 3x a day but is newspaper trained if she can’t get out, is well behaved when left home alone and likes to sleep in bed with her person. Brooklyn was bathed 2x a month and someone needs to get in the tub and she’ll follow. Seriously, how cute is that?! It’s no surprise that Brooklyn score high in her behavior assessment and is waiting for a new family to discover her charms. Volunteers and staff already have, now it’s up to you. Ask to meet this proven family dog today.
