A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: Although I had seen her  many times around with staff, it was my first time meeting Haze today and it was a blast!.  Haze is said to be 13 year old, owned since  tender puppyhood and surrendered into our care because of housing issues. She might have lived with one adult only but she was friendly to strangers and children, a gentle, well mannered and mellow pet according to her former owner. Haze is welcoming in her kennel and ready when you are. She is an amazing walker(likely house trained), waddling a little because of age related arthritis, does stairs and even more flabbergasting…. runs and jumps after tennis balls. Who would have thought?  I did not make her tired a bit in the yard. She would have played for ever and ever…Haze is a sweetheart too. She loves caresses and hugs(treats too) , laying lavishly on her caretaker’s lap and just enjoying the attention. Haze does not seem to have mingled much with her peers and according to her prior master  as well as to our observations, she probably would fit best  as the only pet in the house. Loving and enjoying  our kind is what Haze does best. A new owner or family understanding  and loving seniors is the script that will guarantee Haze a happy new life . Come and meet her soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Behavior Notes:  Upon intake, Haze had a loose body and approached me to sniff me. Haze allowed me to place a leash on her and to collar her. Haze allowed me to pet her and walked well on the leash next to me. Haze walked into her kennel on her own and allowed me to take off her leash while inside.

Details on my behavior are…

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Potential challenges: On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments: On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center, Haze has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Barking at dogs was reported in her previous home. Haze may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
