JR could stand for so many things but in my mind there’s only one possible answer because this handsome young chap is and always will be…Just Right. He’s Just Right for an active family, Just Right for doggie playgroup, Just Right for snuggle time (and kissing), Just Right for playing with toys and even Just Right for sharing a bath! A proven kid-friendly pooch, we’re told he was relaxed and playful with his baby and toddler friends and I saw firsthand just how great he is with other dogs, greeting everyone large and small with happy tail wags and remaining gentle and calm in the face of an agitated barker. JR knows all his commands (come, sit, stay and drop it) and he’s smart and easy-going enough to pick up just about anything you care to teach–he gave paw perfectly on his very first try! He likes all kinds of toys but during our time together was much more interested in socializing and nomming on treats than chasing after a ball. High energy yet snuggly as can be, one minute he’ll be dancing around on his elegantly long legs and the next smooching up a storm on the bench–JR is the best of all worlds! Surrendered to our care because he needed more time and attention than his former owners had to give, he does pull a bit on leash but walks very well in harness and we’re told he’s crate trained and used to sleeping inside his den with an open door. JR loves socializing so much that he gets quite anxious when his people aren’t around and if left free in the house he will sometimes make his own fun with whatever ‘toys’ are to hand (or should that be paw?) so a home where he’ll be able to spend lots of time with two or four-legged friends and family is a must. If you’re looking for a smart, sweet and well trained pooch then JR’s your boy, come meet Mr Just Right at our Manhattan Care Center today!

PROFILE

Jr. is a 1 year old neutered male Rhodesian ridgeback mixed with pit-bull. His previous owner got him as a gift 6months ago. He was surrender because he is destructive when left alone. He has no known injuries or health problems and the last time he went to the vet was in October of 2015.

SOCIALIZATION

Around strangers Jr is friendly and outgoing and when he plays with adults he is exuberant. Around children ages 8 months and 2 years, Jr. is relaxed and playful and exuberant when he plays. Around other dogs Jr. is also relaxed and playful and when he plays he is exuberant.

BEHAVIOR

Jr. has never attempted to bite a person or animal. He often destroys stuff indoors and is anxious when left alone. He isn’t bothered by storms or fireworks. His previous owner has never attempted to touch his food bowl while he was eating. He’s friendly if a toy or treat is taken from him. He isn’t bothered if he is pushed off furniture or given a bath. He is afraid of nail trimmers but isn’t bothered if his paws are touched. He is friendly if his coat is brushed, if he is held or restrained or if an unfamiliar person approached his previous home or owner. He isn’t bothered if he is disturbed while sleeping.

FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW

Jr. is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, excitable, and anxious. He has a very high activity level. The things his previous owner liked most about him were; he’s friendly and great with everyone, calm but playful. When his previous owners were home, Jr. would follow them around. He liked chew toys. His favorite games were fetch and tug.

His previous owner feels he would do well in a home with a yard. He was kept indoors only, and at night he slept in a crate with an open door. He ate both wet and dry Purina Pro Plan. He is house trained and rarely had accidents. When left alone indoors he destroys house hold items, barks and whines. He is crate trained and does well for up to 8 hours. He knows how to sit, come, stay and drop it. For exercise he went on brisk walks on leash and to off leash dog parks twice daily. On leash he pulls lightly and off leash he wanders but comes when called.

BEHAVIOR DURING INTAKE

Jr. allowed me to pet him, restrain him, collar him, and take pictures. He jumped up for hugs and gave kisses. He also sat on command and showed no signs of aggression.
