Lacey
Hello, my name is Lacey. My animal id is #16978. I am a female black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 26-Dec-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving – no pets allowed.
Lacey is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Coplex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Lacey, whom we believe would be suitable for most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Lacey is an adorable little gal who could almost fit in your bag. She is with us for no fault of her own and comes with excellent credentials. Lacey is at her door. She is a very sociable and active pooch and does not belong to a kennel. Once out in the street, she does her business right away and strolls really nicely around the block, hoping to meet more unclose the dogs we near. Free in a pen, Lacey is one bouncy cutie, all tail wagging and displaying a big smile on her face. As staff and other volunteers join us, she is even happier. The more, the merrier…. Bring a ball and she will be even more excited, prancing through the pen, running and jumping after the ball and unmistakably, catching it. No guarding involved. Lacey has been well cared for, not only physically but being a family pet living with a child and another dog, she has developed great social skills and a sunny and loving personality. In addition, she shows great resilience. allowing her to reproduce in our walls the skills she learned in her former home. Lacey is a little ebony star, a black diamond . Let her shine over your family and your home. Come to the Manhattan Care center and adopt her as your forever best friend .

Super pretty, little lady! Lacey is playful and loving! All these sweethearts need homes for 2018 so share them everywhere. Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SaveLacey 🐾💗🙏🏻
Beautiful girl needs comments, pledges and shares. She has glowing notes from her volunteers: lovebug! playful, loving! fun to be with! Please pledge and share for this sweet pocket pittie, Lacey.
I can’t believe this pint-sized dynamo is already here on the list! It was only a few days ago I saw her for the first time. Four-year-old Lacey has two of the finest volunteers together to showcase her personality, and she unequivocally shines. It is evident from the multiple videos and pictures that Lacey is a true head turner, but she’s not self-conscious or pretentious. There is no hidden agenda, nothing to deconstruct. She is fundamentally FUN! She might wear pink lipstick, but she can get dirty like a tomboy. I’m a sucker for a dog who can play ball (because neither of my dogs will!). Lacey backs up to get into position, executes a graceful headshot, and finishes with a proper retrieval, dropping the ball at the volunteer’s feet. (I think she even threw in a few ballet moves while going for the headshot!)
Lacey is excellent with kids/adults/dogs, has no medical issues/bite history, is house-trained, enjoys baths/brushing, loves play time, is athletic, and much, much more. Best of all, Lacey has the cutest tiny tush and never-ending tail wag. Lacey is simply adorable and whoever adopts her is going to be the lucky one. She ticks all the boxes necessary to make an excellent canine companion for a new forever home. 💖
The prior poster speaks from personal experience. I can only add what a volunteer concluded ….
“Lacey is a little ebony star, a black diamond . Let her shine over your family and your home. ”
Bring this small and endearing tomboyish character home…you would be remiss to not do so! Lacy is the opportunity of a lifetime.
Hi Dog mom, I never saw her (though I wish I could have). I meant I saw her online. 🙂
Lacey is such a trooper. Despite the corrupting influence of her current surroundings, she suffers no shortage of spirit. I hope this little girl has many more ball games in her future!
