11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Kiddo prefers teasing me with his toys to dropping them, and sometimes thinks the leash is for playing tug and not walking, but he is the sweetest little firecracker around! He is compact, with the best ears, slightly droopy lips (that sometimes get stuck on his teeth), and big round eyes (like a little kiddo!). He has a lot of energy, but plays well with other dogs, and enthusiastically with toys…the perfect means to tucker him out! He walks much more nicely on leash after he’s run around some, seems housebroken, and will sit and give paw for treats. He is a rain or shine kind of guy, and when we recently got stuck in a bit of a downpour, he kept his tennis ball parade going strong…I could just imagine Gene Kelly singing alongside us! He hasn’t had time to outright cuddle with me (so much to catch up on when you’re cooped up in a cage!), but likes to be petted, and is super waggy and wiggly. His previous owner described him as affectionate, friendly and confident and said that he is playful with children. Kiddo would love to bring the party to your house…come meet him at Brooklyn ACC!
