01/19/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: This pretty little pibble girl seemed a bit shy when I first approached her cage– but the second I got close and it was clear she was about to go for a walk, she couldn’t contain her excitement! Soho seems to be housetrained, is very easy to walk, and walks with a little sashay and tail wag that just can’t be resisted (much like her cute little bat ears!). Soho loves butt scratches, scratches behind the ears, and giving kisses. She’s sweet, affectionate, and laid back. Please come and see this cutie at the Brooklyn ACC today!
