11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: It’s hard to imagine that a dog with a million dollar smile was named after a comic book supervillian. He is so so so cute! Quite a departure from his Marvel namesake, he is a beautiful, yet subtle blue/brown brindle, with little piglet ears, white socks that peep out, and a heart shaped nose that is just begging to be kissed! And his former owner confirms that he is super lovable. He’s lived with a 2 year old child, and would let her lay all over him, and if other kids became too much for him, he’d go and hide under the bed. He loves to climb up onto the couch to watch tv with the family, doesn’t seemed bothered by cats or dogs (but will chase birds!), and is a bit of an escape artist when it comes to baths. With me he was calm, yet sociable, and just loved to play with a squeaky toy I gave him. Ultron is definitely more friend than foe. Ask to meet him today!
