ASPCA Pet of the Week: Gentle Giant

Ready to make a commitment to a good-lookin’ cookie? Andre is an energetic, two-year-old Shepherd mix who was recently brought to our shelter when his pet parent was transferred by the U.S. Marines. A get-along dog, he still has his puppy spirit, and loves to run, leap, fetch, receive belly rubs and practice learning basic manners, especially when he’s rewarded with tasty treats.

Andre will likely thrive best in a single-dog household, and—because of his size—with older kids. He is a whole lotta pooch, but definitely a heartbreaker who will make an exceptional addition to any family with time, patience and a little bit of running room.

If you’re interested in adopting this handsome fella, please call our Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. Or to view other animals looking for homes, visit our Adoption Center online.

****Got Facebook? Won’t you please donate your status to Andre? Just copy and paste the following message onto your profile status to help spread the word that this pooch needs a home!

[Name] is donating my status to Andre http://www.aspca.org/andre, a dog at the ASPCA who needs a new home.

Hi. My name is Hannah. My friends and I have a club where once a month we pick a cause and try to raise money for it. 2 months ago we did a fashion show for breast cancer. We raised over $75. We were thinking about doing a fundraiser for animal abusiveness. If we want to do a fundraiser for animal abusiveness, how? Thanks, Hannah

Fresno, California has been doing the "trap, spay/neuter program for many years. You trap the cat, they neuter for a very small fee, or free, and you return the cat to where it was trapped. Good program. Better than killing.
