08/27/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Terra has swept me off my feet! She was a little nervous and timid when she first arrived (her person was moving into a nursing home so she ended up here), but quickly warmed up and is such a sweetheart. She is easy to handle, is super treat motivated (she knows “sit,” “paw,” and “down”) and seems housebroken. She’ll briefly play fetch with me, but has some skin issues and her feet seem a little tender so we don’t play too hard. She’s lived harmoniously with five (!!!) cats, but might not be well socialized with other dogs. She loves to be pet, gives kisses, and solicits attention from her cage. She has the kindest eyes and most wonderful subtle smile…what a lovely face and lovely gal to come home to every day! Please give her a chance to sweep you off your feet, too…she’d love to meet you at Brooklyn ACC!
