Safe 4-6-2015 Manhattan
Its unclear from owner notes why Fluffy’s family brought him in to sit in a tiny cage at Manhattan ACC. But its clear he’s got some medical issues that his people couldn’t or wouldn’t attempt to. On his medical re-exam, two walnut size masses were found on his body and those will need to be investigated by a real vet to determine what they are. His owner notes indicate he lived with adults and teenagers, that he’s fine with strangers and children, that he loves to play and is very active for an 8 hear old, that he’s leash trained and housebroken. And the ACC staff even commented that he was wagging his tail when they went to get him out of that cage. ACC assumes no one will want this sweet, scared older boy named Fluffy and they’ve put him on tomorrow’s euthanasia list. Tonight, Fluffy needs that one special person out there who is ready to give him the only chance at life that he’ll get—someone who starts working on fostering or adopting him. But at noon tomorrow—ACC proposes to take any such chance away by making him gone forever.
