JJ – 9986

Jj
Hello, my name is Jj. My animal id is #9986. I am a desexed male brown dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 9 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 17-Oct-2017.

Jj 9986 is at risk for his medical condition, including a history of a seizure several weeks ago, a mass on his jaw, and a heart murmur.
