Friendly dog in Brooklyn, NY needs a home!

Update: without getting into the details, let’s just say that he isn’t up for adoption anymore. :(

Last week while we were visiting New York, we rescued a dog in Brooklyn and took him to the shelter. No one has claimed him, so he’s now available for adoption, and I’m trying to find him a good home.

He seems like a very nice dog, friendly and calm-tempered, and appeared good with the other dogs in the waiting room. He likes to ride in your car (especially if you’re rescuing him on a really cold winter day!) Obviously I don’t know a lot about him, but there really was something very sweet about his personality. Even after the awful days (or weeks) that he’d been through, he was still very happy and friendly and just wanted to lean up against someone and be warm.

He’s part pit bull, which I know limits his chances for adoption. So I’m trying to put out the word to everyone that if there’s someone who thinks they have room for a sweet and friendly dog, maybe they can go down to the shelter and meet him and see what happens? If you know of anyone in the New York City area who might be looking to adopt a dog, please forward this to them!

The shelter gave him the name “Kyle”, ID #A795805
