11/06/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Ciara is the chunky meatball type…the extra sweet variety! She is quiet whenever I pass by her cage (and sometimes doing adorable things, like using her toy as a pillow), but always game to go out. She walks pretty nicely on leash, is attentive, and seems housebroken. She loves treats and will sit for them and lights up at the sight of a squeaky toy. She is very friendly and her combination of looks and cuddly ways is winning hearts left and right: she’ll place her head in my lap while I mush those cheeks, gently prop her paws up on me, and is very wiggly. Come make Ciara your sweet, chunky meatball! She’d love to meet you at Brooklyn ACC.
