A volunteer writes: My goodness, this is a lot of dog to love. He’s one of those dogs that typifies the Pit Bull (American Staff), with his fine strong looks, the right temperament, an amazing body from tip to tip … His overall color, that brown/reddish short fur. His spirit … Lively and sweet as a dog can be, he’s very smart and responsive to commands too, walking by my side, and not pulling in any direction. He knows the command to “Sit”, and like most dogs, does it quickly when served up a treat, “Good, doggie. Good, good doggie.” He knows where to do his business, while we walked on the doggie route, and not in his kennel, making me believe that he’s house trained. In my mind, this is one dog you should come into the center and meet … Today. I’m sure it will be one of those decisions, you’ll never regret. Wont you open up your heart and come into our Brooklyn Care Center today … Make adoption a reality, for Rambo, for you, and your family. I’m sure, after meeting this dog you’ll be taking him home to share with you, as a friend, a companion, able to give that unconditional love that only animal like Rambo can give. Please … Don’t hesitate another moment … Just do it!
