Dino Spumoni
Hello, my name is Dino Spumoni. My animal id is #15781. I am a desexed male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 09-Dec-2017.
Spumoni is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Spumoni is suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: If I could only use three words to describe Dino, I’d choose “born to run!” No matter where we’re walking, this curious young buck wants to go faster and to explore more! Dino seems to be housetrained and is a very quick learner he already knows how to sit for treats and is very attentive to his handler. Dino loves ear and butt scratches (he actually makes an audible grumbling noise that reminds me of a cat purring) and is learning how to chase a ball. He seems to always have one ear up and one ear down, giving him the most adorable face of curiosity, and he is always quiet and tail-waggy when I come to his cage to walk him. Come and meet this charming pup today at the Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…
