11/08/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Gentle giant alert! Kong is the King of soft good manners, gentle loving and great social skills and I already love him dearly after only one date together. He’s 100 pounds of pure mush and just the most docile darling to spend time with. Great on leash, seemingly house trained and well versed in come, sit, stay and give paw commands, he mouths treats lightly, doesn’t really care for toys and is equally happy taking a stroll in the great outdoors or just chilling by my side, leaning in for comfort. Other dogs are met with the same low-key friendship as us humans and even walking past a barky male doesn’t faze this cool dude. Kong is simply one of the easiest dogs I’ve ever met. Easy to handle, easy on the eye and so so SO easy to love, he’s already neutered and ready to go home as soon as you are. Come into our Manhattan Care Center and meet your family’s new BFF today, sweet Kong will be waiting and hoping that you pick him.
