TG – A1048004
8-30-2015 Manhattan
GONE 08/30/15 This tiny beauty was brought in to the SI Center because her owners decided they suddenly had too many pets. TG is a BEGINNER rated sweetheart who is said to suffer from seizures so she was whisked from the SI Center to the Manhattan Center and then rushed on the At Risk List. TG is only two years old and should have her whole life ahead of her..instead she may be gone tomorrow if a home isn’t found for her by noon. She can be publicly adopted or fostered/adopted through a New Hope Partner. Help TG find a way out of the shelter..alive…by advocating.
