Cherry Cola
Hello, my name is Cherry Cola. My animal id is #15368. I am a female brown brindle dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 04-Dec-2017.
Cherry Cola is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. We suggest that Cherry Cola would be best suited to an experienced dog home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: I’d like to buy the world a Coke. And then have them meet Cherry Cola. What do you get when you combine delectable, irresistible sweetness and bubbly, effervescent charm? Why a 2 year-old refreshing and brindled beauty with a sugary heart of gold. Cherry Cola is a fancy twist on an all-American classic. She’s slight and elegant, with a long, pretty frame, and a swizzle stick tail that’s nothing if not wagging. And she carries a bright and sunny smile no matter the weather, and the child-like wonder of a girl forever at play. But Cherry Cola (just “Cherry” to friends) is also spunky and silly with a wonderfully goofy side, leaping into your lap with abandon at one moment, then pushing at your legs for play at the next. Cherry comes to us as a stray, so much of her past is unknown. She is a bit thin. Her nails are a bit long. And the tip of that swizzle stick tail is in need of some TLC. But more importantly, she’s loving and snuggly, well-mannered and bright, a nice walker and appears to be housebroken. Yes I’d like to buy the world a Coke. Then have them meet Cherry Cola. And watch every last one of them fall madly in love. And the most special of them bring our girl home. Cherry Cola is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.

Summary:: Cherry Cola approached the assessor in the assessment room with a soft body. She was social, allowed all handling, and displayed no concerning behaviors.
Summary:: Cherry Cola has had limited interaction with other dogs while in our care. She has displayed reactivty toward other dogs on leash, pullin toward, barking. She displayed interest in brief greeting when introduced off leash. Follow up on behavior around dogs should be conducted at a slow pace to respectful, socialized dogs.
Summary (1):: 12/5: When introduced off leash to the male helper dog, Cherry Cola is initially a bit tense when greeting, then follows, sniffs with a softer body and wagging tail.
Summary (2):: 12/6: Cherry Cola is highly aroused, barking at the gate and is not introduced off leash.
Date of intake:: 12/4/2017
Summary:: Cherry Cola was energetic and boisterous.
Date of initial:: 12/4/2017
Summary:: Cherry Cola was playful.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Cherry Cola so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. She is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Potential challenges: : On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
Potential challenges comments:: On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center, Cherry Cola has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them and barking. As Cherry Cola plays well with other dogs, this reaction is likely due to excitement and frustration, we recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. She will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs.
