04/28/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Cindy is the kind of gal that lingers on your mind. She is usually quietly curled up in her cage, but always grateful and happy to go for a walk. She has perfect leash manners and seems very housebroken. She arrived very thin, but that could never conceal how beautiful she is. She has the softest facial expressions and I can’t help but see the two large spots on her back as wings. Sometimes she seems to have a sadness about her, but when I call her over she gently wags her tail and soaks up the affection she was too polite to demand. She wiggles into a back scratch and taps her back feet like I’ve satiated an unreachable itch! When I sit down in a doorway she sneaks behind me and pokes her head over my shoulder. She seems to take great comfort in human company and is always very sweet, greeting familiar staff members we pass. She LOVES treats, but takes them nicely and is more than willing to “sit” for them. She came in with a male dog, has seemed fine when we’ve encountered others on walks, and regularly participates in playgroup. She is calm, mild-mannered and as sweet as they come — truly, an angel! Cindy would love to meet you at Brooklyn ACC!
