11/16/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: At a little over a year old, Damian is still a pup with a bit of that rambunctious and playful puppy energy! 🙂 Damian’s playfulness and curiosity is infectious– he loves to play tug of war almost as much as he likes climbing into your lap and covering you in doggy kisses! Damian seems housetrained but he will need a little bit of basic training on his leash skills– he sometimes gets so happy to see people that he jumps up onto them to say hi. Come and see this charmer at the Brooklyn ACC today!
