12/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Cupcake is such a sweet little treat! She is petite, has a crooked (but always wagging) tail, and her ears are sprinkled with spots. She seems to have a fair amount of energy, but manages to be very easy to handle. She hardly pulls on leash, is a good listener, and almost constantly checks in by looking up at me (I’m sure the treats in my pocket have something to do with it, but her smile is contagious and she really know how to make you feel loved!). She seems housebroken, already knows “sit” and “paw,” and is a toy-loving, fetching machine. She does tend to jump up to solicit affection, but has done so very gently with me, and of course, it’s impossible not to give her all the cuddling she wants…she is such a playful, affectionate, ADORABLE, good girl! The icing on this Cupcake?! She could be yours! Please come meet her at Brooklyn ACC.
