Avery
Hello, my name is Avery. My animal id is #11760. I am a female gray brindle dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 04-Nov-2017.
Avery 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 is a contagious illness to other dogs. Avery is suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
