A sweet couple who live in Queens, New York adopted me thinking that I was a Dachshund… but I kept growing!

Adopted: Danny

Hello! My name is Danny, and I am the bestest boy around! Quick Facts: Breed: Chocolate Lab Gender: Male, neutered Age: 7 year old Size: 90 pounds Good with… Dogs? No! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes!

History I came all the way from Kentucky and have a sad story to tell. My former owner was elderly and not doing well, and consequently, though she loved me, she didn’t take proper care of me. When she had to go and live in a hospital full-time, I was turned into a shelter, and was in sad shape. My skin and fur was a mess, and I looked like a raccoon with black circles around my eyes from the untreated eye infection that I had probably had for quite some time. Luckily, after hopping a ride on the Doggy Underground Railroad, I joined the CDR foster program and landed in a home with…
