Wang Wang is a handsome German shepherd, and on Thursday Brooklyn’s division of New York City Animal Care Centers will end this five-year-old dog’s life. Volunteers are heartbroken; they describe him this way:
He is extremely devoted, loyal and protective of his family, and with them and anyone he gets to know and love, he is a wiggly sweet, affectionate and loving boy.
Wang Wang just needs time to get acquainted with people, but once he feels comfortable, he just loves to cuddle and lean in for a few good rubs and be comforted.
Check out his video:
Wang Wang was given up through no fault of his own; his family stated they just didn’t have the funds to care for him any longer. Now he is looking for a new family; one that will commit to him for all his life and keep him safe. In return, he will be your best friend, your biggest advocate, and your gallant protector from all things evil in the world. It’s good to have a hero. Let him be yours. You just have to be his hero first and get him out of the shelter.

Most recent enrichment notes:
August/26 PM:
“Wang Wang was at the front of his kennel, and was easily leashed when the handler approached him. He walked out of the room and joined two more handlers on a walk around the block. Wang Wang displayed a soft posture around the familiar handlers and took treats and listened to cues. He sniffed the grassy area, relieving himself when he found a spot. On his way back into the building, Wang Wang became stiff and lunged at another dog. The handler had to find his footing when Wang Wang lunged. He was maneuvered away and saw some people standing in the pens. He became tense, but did not react. At first, Wang Wang refused to go into the building but recovered and walked in. He walked to the behavior room without issue. In the room, he took treats and gave paws. He played with a stuffed toy and ran around a bit. Wang Wang walked back to his kennel without issue.”
Wang Wang is listed as “rescue only” and needs to be placed with a New Hope rescue. You can read more about this beautiful boy by clicking here.
