My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Cairo, a little boy who needs a second chance. Cairio comes to us from Animal Care and Control of NYC, where he was turned in as an owner surrender. He is a handsome jet black Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel mix (a hybrid known as a Docker) just 5 years old with a little ring of white around his nose, like a platinum wedding band. Can you be his one true love? Poor Cairo has been rather misunderstood in life and will need a dog savvy owner to get him back on track. We have been down this road with many dogs before. When mistreated, they lose trust quickly, but are always on the look out for a means of finding it again. To get it back, they require patience, time and respect for what they've been through, plus a little acknowledgement that they don't have to start out perfect. We are seeking adult only placement for Cairo, preferably with prior experience or knowledge of rescued dogs. Rio is a healthy boy who has been neutered, microchipped, is current on all shots, and has tested negative for heartworm. He will be professionally groomed before adoption and will go home with a new leash and collar. If you would like to foster or adopt Cairo, please email rescue@nyabandonedangels.com or visit http://www.nyabandonedangels.com/, where you can complete and return an on-line application. Please help Cairo discover that life can still end happily ever after ... even if it does not start out platinum.
