Hello, my name is Silver. My animal id is #18872. I am a female gray dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 21-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving – no pets allowed.
Silver is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we suggest that Silver would be best suited to an experienced dog home.

Potential challenges comments:: Anxiety: Silver has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, panting and pacing back and forth) continually through the SAFER. This behavior was not reported at intake, the owner profile does not note anxiety so we cannot be certain whether this behavior will continue in a future home, or whether it is specific to the shelter environment.
