Here's what the humans have to say about me:
From a frightened, bewildered victim of Hurricane Sandy to a playful, eager-to-learn young lady, I have certainly seen some changes in my life over the past months. Now, my future looks bright as the sun, thanks to the wonderful people at the ASPCA and The Animal Support Project. I was displaced during the hurricane last fall, and landed in the ASPCA’s Emergency Boarding Facility for NYC Pets Displaced by Hurricane Sandy. While I was there, the partners from The Animal Support Project recognized me for the dog I could be. When the facility closed, TASP brought me upstate, to live in the country and to learn how to achieve my potential as a good pet.
What I learned is, the storm is over. Life is a garden, waiting to be explored.
My name is Brooke, and like my name, I am fluid and bubbly and sparkly and sweet. I am housebroken, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed, just about two and a half years old. Good with all humans and dogs my size & larger, I’m a pretty buckskin-brindle, red-nosed pibble with a, sleek build. When I walk on leash, I move like a runway model: elegant and erect, poised and ready to respond to your commands. Thanks to a generous grant from ASPCA, I’ve had the best in veterinary care and behavioral training. I’ve learned Basic Obedience and Agility, and, BTW, I’m excelling in the Agility ring. I enjoy learning new games, connecting with my person and playing with my herding ball. I love belly rubs, and you should see me catch tennis balls!
My benefactors at ASPCA even made sure I’ll be well cared for in the future, by sponsoring me with a free full year of ASPCA pet insurance! In many ways, I feel a little bit like Cinderella…from a nobody to a somebody; from displaced to established. You could say I’m a canine Eliza Doolittle or a puppydog-Pygmalion. I entered the storm wondering what would become of me and with the clouds parted, I am a well-mannered, well-groomed young lady. Now, my next goal is to find a home and a family with whom I can share what I’ve learned.
Have you been longing for a companion to accompany you on your hikes, to work with you, and to bring a smile to your face when you’re having a bad day? Let’s face tomorrow together. Let me show you how wonderful life can be. 518-727-8591
