MACK – A1056829
Safe 11-9-2015 Brooklyn
***SAFE 11/09/15*** MACK is just 5 months old but his mouth tells a different story. This poor baby has swollen gums, an ulcer on his tongue and calicivirus confirmed by the vet, though the ACC DOES tend NOT to always be accurate! So they wonder why he’s grouchy and wants out! And for his behavior, which anyone could understand, he’s rated RESCUE ONLY! He needs someone to contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE and offer to FOSTER or ADOPT him! Help MACK and save his life, he’s barely begun to live!
