Antoinette
Hello, my name is Antoinette. My animal id is #13117. I am a desexed female gray dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 11 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 19-Nov-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- landlord won’t allow.
Antoinette is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. this dogs is Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: What do you get when you take perfection and wrap it up into a little dumpling?? Antoinette! She isn’t just ridiculously adorable, she is playful, sweet, AND smart! Her former owner tells us she has a medium activity level, is housebroken (she seems it!), and loved to follow her person around the house. She is super friendly and whenever I go to pet her she either meets me half way and barrages me with kisses or instead immediately play bows — so cute! She is super wiggly, likes to play with toys, and eagerly sits for treats. She is reported to be respectful when passing dogs on leash and was very flirty and playful when she met a male dog in our playgroup. She is a DOLL. Come to Brooklyn ACC and make her your sidekick!
