A volunteer writes:  The Oreo is America’s favorite cookie and I’m pretty sure that if all of America had the opportunity to meet this Oreo she would be crowned America’s favorite dog — what a sweet, sweet lady!  She steadily wags her tail on walks, I think partly because it helps her stay balanced, but also because she is happy to have company.  She has been around children, lived harmoniously with a cat, and is reported to be house trained and well behaved when home alone.  She seems a little out of her element, but is truly a joy to be with.  She comes over when I call her and is very quietly affectionate; she’ll rest her head in my lap, nuzzle me when I stop petting her, and just wants to be close.  She has all the wonderful qualities that come with older dogs, seems so gentle, and is uniquely beautiful inside and out — please come meet her at Brooklyn ACC and see for yourself!
