A volunteer writes:

The medical staff writes..”A fantastic dog on all levels” It is rare to see such a quote but it is also,  so to the point…Of cause, there is a catch… Pristine Geraldine can not make much use her hinds. We do not know yet what is her problem…. Her nails seem embedded in her feet on all 4. Beside being a little overfed, lovely Geraldine seems to have been a bit neglected. May be she belonged to an ailing or elderly owner who passed away and the heirs did not want to care for his or her dog..Yes, our beautiful Geraldine is a stray…She is not old and quite perky, all excited when I open her kennel. She would love to go out. I take her in my arms, pose her on my lap , pet her and talk to her. She is such a sweetheart… Geraldine  needs veterinary care and well, care in general, a safe home and love. She is a very deserving gal who need your attention and soon will need your help. Geraldine is at the Manhattan Care Center.waiting for you.
