SAFE 11/21/17

Yoohoo

Hello, my name is Yoohoo. My animal id is #12545. I am a female brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old.

I came into the shelter as a abandoned on 13-Nov-2017.

Yoo-hoo is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infectious Rapiratory Disease Complex which is contagious to other dogs. She will likely require in home care with a course of antibiotics. There are no known behavior concerns for Yoo-hoo iat this time, average determination.

A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: Some dogs(like some people) stand up amidst a million others. Yoohoo is a perfect example. She is a unique “little brown dog”. Her face, her smile , her various expressions, her tubby body and short legs…her excitement to be in company…and her pleasant self…Yep, I want to spend time with her… and I am glad I did. Yoohoo is leashed  at once. She is so lively, walking  decisively , huffing and puffing, doing her business and meeting properly other dogs. I heard that she enjoyed her time in playgroups wither peers. In the yard, leash free, she stays around me, samples  eagerly  my treats and even sits for them.  She runs briefly after a ball. Some teaching is in order here as exercise will do chunky Yoohoo much good.. She is happy to be free and in company.  Her smile makes me laugh. Her tail is wagging non stop. Would not you like to meet Yoohoo? Come and meet her soon at the Manhattan Care Center.  She so would love to be your friend.
