CJ
Hello, my name is CJ. My animal id is #18930. I am a desexed male white 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 22-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person health – allergies.
CJ is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for CJ, whom we believe would be suitable to most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: CJ is an active little guy, lively, super playful and friendly. He is all wiggly in his kennel, expecting for sure that his charm will do the trick and that you will take him out… He is so right… CJ is a must to spend time with. He is a good walker, does his business on the way and is proper nearing other dogs, big and small. He has been doing well in playgroups with his peers, bouncing happily around. In the yard, he is a tiger….He loves to play with toys or the ball and will run and jump like a puppy. He sits very nicely on command even that he is very eager to get his mouth on a treat or his paw on a toy. CJ is not all action.. He can be a pussy cat if needed and come to rest on the bench, his head in my lap for caresses. CJ was a family dog who comes with excellent credentials and who therefore dreams of and seeks a similar position… with you… CJ is at the Manhattan Care Center , hoping to soon leave us with you as your new forever best friend!
My medical notes are…
