Clement
Hello, my name is Clement. My animal id is #18057. I am a male brindle dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 9 years old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 11-Jan-2018.
Clement is at risk for medical concerns, he is geriatric with possible underlying conditions. A full veterinary geriatric work up including blood work is strongly recommended upon placement or adoption. Clement has been friendly in the care center and allows handling.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
Clement is SO ridiculous that when I first saw him I had to reach out and touch him to make sure he was real! His little tongue is always peeking out of his mouth, his tail is always wagging (along with his little hips), AND he comes with a quietly grunty soundtrack. Not only is he cuter than your wildest dreams, he is impossibly sweet! He loves attention and I think everyone is instantly on BFF terms with him. He gives kisses, flops over for belly rubs, and whenever I call him my way he excitedly wiggles over like we haven’t seen each other in years. He is super treat motivated and can be a bit of an alligator when he takes them, but is receptive when I encourage him to show a little less gusto. He seems to have housetraining, likes to play with toys, and spreads happiness wherever he goes. I have no idea where this magical creature came from, but the bigger question is why isn’t he curled up on your couch yet?! Please come check him out at Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…
Weight: 46.6 lbs
