01/07/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I first came upon Lara as she was waiting in the hallway for her cage to be cleaned. Although I was at the other end of the hallway, this happy little girl couldn’t contain her excitement–the second she saw me, her tail was wagging and her body wiggling so fast that she spun herself in a few exuberant circles before I had even gotten to her! Happy and energetic does not even to begin to describe this puppy (and at 1.5 years she’s still got so much puppy in her!), whose joy and zest for life will put a smile on even the grumpiest person’s face! Lara loves treats and takes them very gently (although she’s still working on her “sit” and “paw” skills), loves to explore her surroundings and go for long walks, and thrives on human attention and companionship. Lara pulls a bit on the leash, but walks great on a harness and is very eager to learn and to please (especially when treats are involved!). Come see this happy girl at the Brooklyn ACC today, you won’t regret it!
