01/24/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I did not expect to see such a pretty dog when I picked up Fluffy from his kennel yesterday. He is really cute, puffy and fluffy. Fluffy is with us as his family was evicted. His health issues as well weighed quite a bit in his owners’ decision to leave him with us. Fluffy indeed is an elder, suffers from bladder stones, a heart murmur and a limp. He is quite active and pleasant, though, and loves to go on a walk, even if it is pouring outside. He does not forget to do his business in the street (we are told he is housetrained) leaving a clean and orderly kennel. Picking up Fluffy or carrying him is very much to his liking. He is a friendly character who likes the attention, and treats. Fluffy comes with good comments from his former family. He lived and was playful with an eleven year old child and two large…Huskies. Fluffy is waiting to start his life again with a new owner or family who will understand and attend to his needs. He is so cute and adorable that you would want to come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
