Haze
Hello, my name is Haze . My animal id is #12778. I am a desexed male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years 4 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a returns on 22-Nov-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- landlord won’t allow.
Haze is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Upper 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. Haze has been timid but friendly and allows all handling.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: There is just something about Haze! He might have been a nervous nellie when we first met, but now he is nothing short of a party animal. When I open the gate to let him off leash in the yard I feel like I’m opening the gate for a little race horse — he lives to play fetch (okay, and maybe to skin tennis balls and de-stuff squeaky toys too). Once he’s burned off some energy he’s very affection-seeking and will lick or gently mouth my hands when I pet him. Aside from initial excitement he’s very easy to walk on leash, he seems very housebroken, and he is super treat motivated. He gives paw, gives high five, and does the cha-cha for anything tasty. His former owner tells us he was playful and gentle with the resident child (even tolerating when he would pull on his tail or play with his ears…of course Haze shouldn’t have to deal with that, but what a good boy!), respectful of the resident cat, is afraid of loud noises, and is well-behaved when left alone. He always seems so happy to have company, has the most soulful eyes (they’re on the verge of their first word, I can feel it!), and is just so much fun!! Please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC and see if he could be your newest family member.
