07/21/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Easter is long past, but a rabbit was left behind…Chester. He is a cute little bunny sure to produce ooh’s and ahh’s when we walk in the street. A mob of kids wanted to pet him and a lady got her hands all over him before I could stop her. Although he had been a little timid with me, Chester was beaming under her caresses. He is a good walker, marks a little his territory and ignores the pigeons. He is cool with other dogs met and holds himself well in playgroups with his peers. He is so adorable when he sits for treats, a compact little bundle with bright eyes, a lovely button nose and a mouth asking for more…yep, Chester adores treats. Chester seems to have been well cared for and although could weight a teensy weensy more, sports a very pretty coat over a healthy body. Chester would make such a fine four legged friend. He is sociable, friendly and loving and just wants to be in your home and in your hands to bloom into the best forever companion ever. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Chester is polite and tolerant when interacting with female dogs. He has displayed a tense body when attempting to introduce to other males. The behavior department feels that based on these observations, Chester may be most compatible with polite female dogs. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Chester allowed handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/18/17 During his initial medical exam, Chester was social and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Chester so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
