And this senior beagle BUSTER, who was surrendered to the NYCACC due to moving UGH at the AGE OF 13, is now in our fospice program and already co-mingling with the other dogs at the home and he's made himself right at home and took over a dog bed that he decided was his!
Remember MYLO? He was the gorgeous German Shephard on the Emergency Placement List recently and his life was in danger.
