SAFE 07/07/16 **AMAZING AVERAGE RATING – ON PUBLIC LIST** PUPPY ALERT! Ten month old Baron and his equally young littermates, King and Princess, suddenly found themselves sitting in separate cages at Brooklyn ACC when their people moved to someplace they couldn’t go. And what a happy, full of life puppy Baron is! Earning a coveted AVERAGE rating in hi behavioral evaluation described by the assessor as “friendly and affectionate towards the assessor … allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue..” But now young Baron has caught the shelter cold and ACC’s treatment plan is to send him right to the euthanasia room. Now, pups can be a handful and it doesn’t look like his owners spent much time on toilet training him but Baron is young, eager to please and just wanting to be a regular dog with some new bff’s. But unless someone steps up to foster or adopt Baron by noon tomorrow, ACC won’t hesitate to guarantee he’ll never even see his first birthday. Don’t delay—Baron’s pleading for his very life.
