A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes; Bambam is a beautiful grey who does not look at all his age. He has been so well cared for, enjoying a great weight and health and  wearing a flawless  and magnificent coat. Bambam who lived with a young child and his own mother is with us because of housing issues. He comes with great comments, his former owner sharing with us how obedient, friendly, affectionate and mellow he is. Older pets left behind very often need time to adjust to their temporary shelter life. Nine year old  Bambam, owned since puppyhood is no exception. He lets you know  that he prefers to be in company, walk to the park or simply chill out in the yard, leash free. He is a good walker, likely house trained  and frets a little  with excessive noises and other dogs. After a while, back at the care center,  he settles down and lays down at my feet, ready for petting. He really appreciates the peacefulness of the yard and togetherness. It probably reminds him of all times. Bambam would love  to get back his “job” of former best and loyal friend.  Can you male his dream ..and ours come true? Bambam is at the Manhattan Care Center.
