04/23/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Nano does not know why he is at the care center…He is gorgeous, well groomed, so well dressed in his silky cinnamon coat and every body loves his nice and soft manners here at the care center. Nano walks well on the leash, does his business on the way and seems quite tolerant of other dogs met through the face. Due to his wound , Nano was not introduced to his peers in play groups. Free in a en, Nano chooses to lay by me and at my feet. He likes to be caressed and is choosy with his treats . For all to know, roastbeef is his favorite…He welcomes another volunteer at our gate and transforms into a super sweetheart for the medical staff who mended him. Beautiful and sweet Nano will pretty soon need a safe, caring and loving home. Will you open your heart to this great pooch?
