Lica
Hello, my name is Lica. My animal id is #18552. I am a desexed female brown brindle dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 18-Jan-2018.
Lica is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection 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. Lica can go to an Average home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Lica’s bio and notes are filled with superlatives: “friendly, very sweet, easily handleable, playful, and affectionate.” I wouldn’t expect much less from this gorgeous, young brindle gal! Not only is she adorable, but her sweetness is immeasurable! At times, she can be a little nervous, but one can expect that when faced with a new and sometimes scary environment. Otherwise, she likes to stay close, loves to work for snacks and has a gentle demeanor that even her former owner raves about. She’s reportedly good with kids, likes to follow the family around the home and her favorite snacks are bully sticks. Given she’s a young dog, she can benefit from learning a few commands and may need to polish up her housebreaking. Lica has all the basics of being an amazing family dog-now she just needs a family! Ask to meet her today!
My medical notes are…
