01/09/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: We might no longer have a planet named Pluto, but this sweet, SWEET dog named Pluto is worthy of being the center of your universe! He can seem a little unsure at first, but treats bring him out of his shell very quickly. He is usually very quiet in his cage, doesn’t pull much on leash, knows “sit” and “paw,” and seems housebroken. His adorable forehead wrinkles (really, they are irresistible!) make him look very wise (which he is, of course) and serious, but Pluto is really very playful and waggy. He LOVES toys, has clearly played fetch before, catches adorable bouts of the zoomies filled with abbreviated play bows, and has been playful with lady dogs in our playgroups. He is dapper, fun, well-mannered, and super sweet…all he’s missing is someone to be his Mickey! Come meet him at the Brooklyn ACC and see if that might be you!
