LUCKY – 9772
Safe - 10-18-2017 Manhattan
SAFE 10/18/17 Lucky was brought in by police officers who picked him up at his former home when he scratched a child (did not break skin). Lucky is nervous but allowed to be handled with no problem. He was very matted and is a big boy who should have follow up vet visit about losing weight and some dental issues. Why not adopt this handsome boy today?
