08/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: WANTED!!! BACK SCRATCHER!!!! If Mugzy was writing his own bio, I am relatively sure that this what it would say. Mugzy enjoyed getting his back scratched by one of our volunteers, and he didn’t want her to stop! 😉 Mugzy also likes wandering around the play yard, smelling the grass and taking in the sun. Mugzy appears house broken and walks splendidly on leash. Mugzy came to the shelter as a stray, and now is waiting patiently for his forever home. If you are interested in adopting Mugzy, come to the Staten Island Care Center.
