06/07/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Granite…This name means two things in my mind. Various rocks lumped together or “sweet slush” in French. I go with the second meaning, as our Granite is the sweetest babe on earth. Although beautifully cared for and healthy looking, young Granite (she is only seven months old) was found as a stray, roaming all alone in a park. Although she loves to play, this little Labrador mix would prefer, I bet, the comfort of a home and mostly the love of a human. I see her easily with kids and other pooches, a gentle family dog made to be a happy, bouncy and playful pet. Granite is a little shy here at the care center and her main focus is to stay close to her caretaker, preferably on a bench next to her and aiming for the lap, where she rolls on her side for hugs, kisses and caresses. A big smile can be seen on her face, and her eyes brighten. Granite is just a little girl who needs reassurance and pampering, something every puppy should get without limit. She loves treats but is very polite about taking them from my hand. She can sit on command and walks very calmly on the leash. I can not vouch for her house training skills but she does do her business while out of her kennel. She seems to like other dogs, big and small, but has been quite timid in playgroups with her peers. Granite is an adorable puppy, cutely dressed in her chocolate and tiger brindle coat. She is gentle, innocent, loving, needy and ready to absorb all the wonderful teachings you will give her to become a most outstanding adult. Come and meet Granite at the Manhattan Care Center. She is dreaming to be yours.
