Bilbo
Hello, my name is Bilbo. My animal id is #10174. I am a male brown brindle dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 6 months old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 19-Oct-2017.
Sorry, this pet is for new hope partners only.
Bilbo 10174 is at risk for his medical condition, including CIRDC as well as a significant heart murmur with possible mild congestive heart failure. Please see the veterinary notes for further details and clarification. Behaviorally, Bilbo 10174 has been fearful upon approach from unfamiliar handlers. We recommend placement with a rescue partner who can further evaluate his behavior in a stable home environment once his medical concerns have been addressed.
