ASPCA Pet of the Week: Gentle Giant

dog

Ready to make a commitment to a good-lookin’ cookie? Andre is an energetic, two-year-old Shepherd mix who was recently brought to our shelter when his pet parent was transferred by the U.S. Marines. A get-along dog, he still has his puppy spirit, and loves to run, leap, fetch, receive belly rubs and practice learning basic manners, especially when he’s rewarded with tasty treats.

Andre will likely thrive best in a single-dog household, and—because of his size—with older kids. He is a whole lotta pooch, but definitely a heartbreaker who will make an exceptional addition to any family with time, patience and a little bit of running room.

If you’re interested in adopting this handsome fella, please call our Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. Or to view other animals looking for homes, visit our Adoption Center online.

****Got Facebook? Won’t you please donate your status to Andre? Just copy and paste the following message onto your profile status to help spread the word that this pooch needs a home!

[Name] is donating my status to Andre http://www.aspca.org/andre, a dog at the ASPCA who needs a new home.

    First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks! dubturbo

    Hi. My name is Hannah. My friends and I have a club where once a month we pick a cause and try to raise money for it. 2 months ago we did a fashion show for breast cancer. We raised over $75. We were thinking about doing a fundraiser for animal abusiveness. If we want to do a fundraiser for animal abusiveness, how? Thanks, Hannah

    Fresno, California has been doing the "trap, spay/neuter program for many years. You trap the cat, they neuter for a very small fee, or free, and you return the cat to where it was trapped. Good program. Better than killing.
