DEAN – A1039775
6-13-2015 Brooklyn
*GONE* 06/13/15- Dean needs placement by 6 pm TONIGHT! He was picked up by an AC&C driver lying in front of a building. Our vet thinks Dean has liver disease, and will need to be transferred to a private veterinarian in order to receive further diagnostics and supportive care. Dean has been very cooperative during his exams, and has managed to charm our vet even in his condition! His appetite has improved slightly overnight, and he is less dehydrated, but he still needs vet care ASAP! Please help Dean get the help he needs, and pull him from BACC by 6 pm TONIGHT!
