04/16/2016: A staff member writes: When I first met Prince he sat in his kennel with his head held high and chest sticking out as if he ruler in his own kingdom. Prince may show confidence but he is a baby when it’s time to meet new people. He wants to love you but is nervous and just needs a family willing to work slowly with him. Once he warms up to you it’s nothing but tail wags. Come into Brooklyn Animal Care Center and give Prince a chance to become a king in his own castle.
