Shortcake

Hello, my name is Shortcake. My animal id is #15599. I am a female gray dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 07-Dec-2017.

Shortcake was placed at risk due to being diagnosed with a mass. Shortcake will benefit from placement outside the shelter as soon as possible. Shortcake is suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience

My medical notes are…

Weight: 40.4 lbs
