10/31/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Puppy Hershy is quite reserved for a ten-month-old youngster. I bet she never expected going from her home to the street and then to the care center. She is in an alien world. It’s like being a Martian on Planet Earth. The good thing is that Hershy is young and despite hardships, resilience kicks in more often than for adults. Here at the care center, she will have walks with volunteers, and playgroups with her peers. She already attended one where she was timid at first, then opened up with a few playful spins. She perked up easily. Hershey pulls a little on the leash, she does her business on the way, sits beautifully on command and poses very nicely for pictures. She looks very serious, maybe personality telling her to be cautious until she is comfortable with the people she meets and the place she is in. Free in a pen, she accepts my treats after a few prompts, as well as my caresses. She is fine with putting a scarf around her neck and even jumps on the bench next to me for some bonding. I let her move at her pace, slowly and surely. We really could become best friends. I look forward to see Hershy again very soon, and mostly to see her leaving us with an adoptive family to start her life on a safe and right foot this time–as a truly forever best friend. Come and meet our little Hershy Kiss at the Manhattan Care Center. A volunteer adds: Although still a little shy and prefering quieter premises, Hershy has opened up quite a bit. We had a dressed up session for Halloween in the yard and she was totally fine with it although I imagine that she was wondering what it was all about. Humans are really silly, doing all kinds of things that seem probably purposeless to dogs… She is calm, free in a pen, sits even if there are no treats, likes to be caressed and poses so beautifully for pictures. She seems to like other dogs(even barky little ones), chases without too much eagerness the pigeons and does her business in the street. She is really cute in her oreo dress and is soooooo ready to be your little girl…Come and get her soon..She should celebrate her first birthday in your home, loved by all.
