07/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Chacorlta or Chacorta ? If I go with the second name (see Spanish translation), I would expect dealing with an impulsive little black bull with cropped ears. Instead, I am facing a cool dude, quite friendly and sociable after some initial hesitation and shyness. Chacorlta is quiet in his kennel aside from an occasional little whining sound. Chacorlta is leashed easily, fitted with a scarf and strolls very nicely in the street without pulling or marking his territory. He is fine meeting other dogs, even the little ones, and does not chase the pigeons. Free in a pen, he comes when I call him and jumps, forelegs spread outward like an open book for treats that he is very fond of. It is very cute to watch. Chacorlta loves to eat. He can sit on command and will run after a ball he can return in my hand. As roast beef treats created a bond between us, Chacorlta is now my friend and comes on the bench for caresses. He is a very nice character relinquished into our care because of the owner moving to a place not allowing pets. Chacorlta comes with wonderful recommendations, being a playful, low key, sociable, affectionate and a well-balanced companion. Come and see for yourself. Chacorlta is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care center. His preferred language is Spanish, but being young and willing, he can pretty much learn any new idioms.
