A volunteer writes: Introducing el mejor adolescent…JEFE! He’s still learning the ropes as far as housetraining (but definitely tries to keep his cage clean!), that trash on the ground isn’t treasure in plain sight, and that furniture isn’t for chewing when nobody’s watching, but this guy is so much fun! He was super friendly when I met him and we’re told he likes to greet new people with kisses. He previously lived with a Pomeranian and has been excited and wiggly when we’ve met dogs through a fence. He is treat motivated and already knows “sit” and “down.” He LOVES toys and is very endearing as he plays with them by himself, teases me with them, and manages to carry multiple at once. He does get jumpy and mouthy (light), but I think it’s his way of saying “I like you so much I could eat you up!” The feeling is mutual, Jefe! Please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC…you’ll make his day!
