Here’s this week’s adoptable pet of the week from the Brooklyn Animal Rescource Coalition (BARC) shelter in Williamsburg.

Here is Aponte and some information about him:

This is Aponte. He was liberated from Animal Care and Control and is one happy, friendly dog! He was skinny, and his handsome brindle coat a bit dull when he arrived at BARC, but he’s well on his way to becoming a former shelter dog success story. Aponte is about 50 pounds of pitbull mix, and approximately 3 years old. To meet him in person contact BARC. If you’re not ready for a serious commitment, BARC’s volunteer dogwalking program is a great way to get a canine “fix” and maybe meet your next best friend.

Clearly, any potential adopter has to decide if a particular creature in need of a home is right for their living situation, needs and their ability to provide the proper level of care and attention. The BARC Shelter is located at N. 1 and Wythe in Williamsburg. More info about them here.
