A volunteer writes: Stop, drop and roll!  Roll over that is.  This is Sky’s motto upon meeting someone she likes.  You know you have a fun-loving pup when within the first few minutes of introducing yourself, she is belly-up, legs in the air, tongue out, squirming on her back, just begging you scratch her tubby little tummy! Sky came to us because her owners were moving to a place where she wasn’t allowed.  She’s lived with a four year old and in the same family since she was a young pup. It’s easy to describe her as a big piglet—she is low to the ground, with a chunky belly with ears that look like a pig’s and it seems like she’s had a litter or two of puppies. Sky is a gem on the leash, walking close to your side and seems housetrained.  She sits on command and will roll onto her back when you encourage her to! Though Sky is considered middle aged, she has a moderate activity level, loves toys and loves to catch them in the air! Her first time in doggy play group she was a little bit nervous, but on subsequent tries she would greet dogs politely and try to solicit play.  Come to the Brooklyn Care Center  and ask to meet Sky I can guarantee she’ll greet you belly-up!
