11/21/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Hunter is neither a boy nor a hunter. She is a very pretty and petite girl, an instant lap dog and a kisser who has already made a few friends here at the Manhattan Care Center. Hunter is a little shy at first, but spend a bit more time with her and she will be hopping gently around you. She is a great walker, very obedient, a good “sitter” and never grabs treats from your hand even though she surely could gain a few pounds more. She has no handling issues, accepts easily a bow around her neck and a coat that has too many snap buttons. She is such a patient and compliant gal! Cute, too, she is, nicely dressed and fitted with lovely snow white boots. Ah, the boots…probably that is where the given name comes from. She is a little thin and her right ear has an old hematoma. Hunter’s hallmark is her sweetness and love for people. The way she looks at her caretaker when she is on his or her lap…adoration would be the right word. Well, Hunter is herself quite an adorable and lovable little gal. Her small size, easy and gentle manners make her the perfect dog for city life, not that she would not appreciate and do greatly as a country girl. Come and see Hunter for yourself, fall in love and take her home as your forever best friend. Another volunteer writes: My sweet Hunter. I have so many wonderful things to say about this amazing girl, I’m not sure I can do her justice! Hunter was my last walk of the night, and it was the best way to end a long day. Despite the bitter cold, Hunter and I walked, and this dream girl could not have been happier to be out and about, exploring the world and trying to meet new people. Every person we saw, she wanted to become friends with! And when she wasn’t exploring or trying to win “Miss Congeniality” Hunter would give me hugs. Every few steps we took, this sweet girl would stop and give ME a cuddle. A hug from a dog is probably one of the best kinds of hugs, and I happily hugged her back at every chance I got. Three-year-old Hunter is calm, friendly, affectionate, a lover of treats and a lover in general. She would make the most wonderful best friend for someone. Come on down and meet this great girl!
