Available NY,NJ,CT,PA,DC,MD,DE,NH,RI,LI,MA,VT,ME The sweetest lovebug aptly named Cupid is ready to draw her arrow for a loving home. Her precious face is loaded with character, and specially crafted markings. She has sparkly big brown eyes, and a perfectly kohl lined smile. Speaking of smiles, hers is mesmerizing. Arrived to the shelter as a stray showing herself wiggly, sociable and soft. She is not a wallflower. She approached readily, agreeable and hoping to spread the love. There's a big beaming heart inside this young doggie. She allows handling and accepts treats joyfully. She scored the coveted Level 2 behavior rating, showing how exceptionally sweet she is. At the shelter she appears dog reactive, which so many do. With all her amazing qualities, the Brooklyn ACC will still place her on the kill list, therefore she urgently needs a foster or adopter to scoop her to safety. If you find her adorable face and loving heart the missing link to your own heart, please message us now. A volunteer writes: I am lovestruck, by Cupid of course! She is a meatball of a lady and thick in all the right places. Her booty won't quit, and I am jealous of her thigh muscles! This darling lady is happy to model our dresses for us, and attempt to woo anyone who pass us by. She's a beautiful orange creamsicle and white colored cow dog. Cupid isn't too pretty of a dog to worry about getting her dress wet, and happily jumps into the pool. Cupid has been struggling at ACC due to her uncomfortableness with other dogs. Surrounded by dogs, she is stressed, but on walks she walks calmly next to you taking in the smells of Brooklyn and enjoying the break from the barking. Cupid appreciates the company of humans. Cupid needs a single pet home where her owner would be comfortable managing her around other animals. When Cupid is able to get a break from the dogs in the shelter, she is playful and sweet.

What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! I have been known to shower my favorite people in love! I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
