07/01/17 20:10 Basic Information: Angel came into the shelter as an owner surrender. He is 6 years old and was in the same home for the past 4 yrs, unfortunately he could not be kept due lack of time. He was last taken to the vet at least a year and a half ago for his yearly checkup and shots. Socialization: Around strangers and children he is known as very friendly/outgoing, respectful, relaxed and playful and they play very gentle with both adults and children. He has been socialized with dogs and is respectful and Angel is more tolerant of them and will not play. He is aggressive towards cats and will chase and bark at them when they see them. He has also been socialized with snakes and lizards and Angel is unbothred and respectful of them. No records of him bitting another animal or person. Behavior: Angel will use the bathroom indoors IF he spends 10+ hours at home or is not taken outside for a walk. Angel has tried to escape his home when he sees the door open. He is unbothered when it comes to storms and loud noises, having his food or treats touched while is eating, being held or restrained, being given a bath or being brushed or having his nails trimmened and when someone unfamiliar approaches his home or owner. For a New Family to Know: Angel is described as friendly, affectionate, confident, very mellow and independent. Angel has a medium activity level and loves to cuddle, follow you around when he’s home with you and enjoys playing tug. Angel prefers to play with stuffed animals, has been kept mostly indoors and can sleep anywhere he feels comfortable. He eats 1cup of Dog Chow dry food 2x a day, is considered very house-trained, has never had any accidents at home, uses the bathroom anywhere when outside, is well-behaved when he is left alone at home, knows how to get out of kennels, likes to go out at least 2x a day for walks, pulls lightly on the leash and off leash will wander but come when is called. Angel knows the commands sit, stay, come, down, give paw, go away and speak. Intake: Upon intake Angel allowed all handling, having his picture taken, being placed in a kennel and being collared. He had a very loose body, wagging tail and gave occassional kisses to counselors.

A volunteer writes: “Do not judge a book by its cover!! Read it !!” This applies to my beautiful friend Angel, a handsome 6 year old family dog who came with Lucy, his sibling, as their owners did not have time for their pets anymore. Angel does not like his kennel. At home, he was not fond of his crate either. He is used to a big place called home. So he barks and sometimes grumbles in his den. Take him out and you will see what I see, a gem of a dog, well mannered, gentle, very loving, a great bench buddy, friendly to all and pleasant to his peers, big or small, in the street. Angel wears well his name. He is really good looking and has been like Lucy, outstandingly cared for. He comes with excellent comments. Good with strangers, children, other dogs (and in particular Lucy), fine with snakes and lizards but not with cats. He would prefer toys to balls and is known to be a cuddle bug. Angel walks calmly on the leash, does his business on the leash and frequently checks with me if he is doing ok. I really love him. He is a little plump, has the greatest smile, makes a smart use of his ears (for the camera) and is so sweet. Well, Angel is dreaming, like sister Lucy, of a new home to call his own and a person to love. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center. Addendum: Yesterday, I had the scare of my life. As I was walking my beautiful Angel, a dog, a large male, leash-less, suddenly appeared by our side. I froze…but not Angel. He was all relaxed, tail wagging and a smile on his face. The other dog seemed nice enough but did not want to go away and despite my fear, I decided to follow in Angel’s smart footsteps. After all, who knows better dogs than another dog. The cool dude mode worked. The other dog was soon leashed by his human and we all parted peacefully. Angel is good with other dogs, we knew that. But still, we were dealing with a total and a bit pushy stranger. My hat’s off to you, Angel!!! You are a star.
