06/02/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/02/17 17:53 Cara A1114001 is a 12yr old female black/gray/white Mini Poodle mix who was found on a street in the Bronx a little while ago. The finder felt bad for her and brought her in to surrender. They stated they believe Cara is injured and she allowed them to pick her up. During intake Cara allowed all handling. It was noticed that she spins constantly and didn’t seem to mind being picked up/held. Cara was placed into a kennel with ease where she began eating her canned food slowly.
