GROUCHO – A1054625
Safe 10-17-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Animalkind Please honor your pledges: http://www.animalkind.info/
***SAFE 10/17/15*** Look at GROUCHO! His face can tell the story of how he was found, in a box with a rope tied around his neck! And the assessor feels that he needs a RESCUE ONLY due to fearful behavior and wanting to bite and scratch! ANYONE would be like that if treated the way he was. And they name him GROUCHO! Is the ACC trying to be funny by giving him that name? PLEASE, contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE NOW and get him out of there! He needs decompression time but should fare just fine if handled with LOVE and CARE! He’s no GROUCHO “Marx” NOW! But can be if you love him enough to save him!
