HOPE – 26835
Safe - 5-18-2018 Manhattan Rescue: Brooklyn Animal Action Please honor your pledges: http://www.brooklynanimalaction.org/
SAFE 5/18/18 <<6 Month in home quarantine>> Hope came to us as a stray and has bites of unknown origin. Hope requires a 6 month in-home isolation with vet visits for the first 4 months and phone calls to NYC DOH thereafter. If leaving the 5 boroughs, quarantine MUST be approved by the receiving city or township DOH. Please note, the 5 boroughs are easier for in home quarantine.
Hope came to ACC after having a hard outdoor life, coming in with bite wound on one of his feet. Despite that he has been absolutely as sweet as pie during his stay with us and soaks up all the attention he can get! Hope is ready to find a big comfy couch he can call his own and leave the outdoor life behind.
