A volunteer writes:   Stunning in his gleaming black coat, Midnight is perfectly named for his color, but if we were naming him for his personality it would be Sunshine!  He’s fun, affectionate, playful, tail waggy and a stop and sniff the roses kind of a walker on leash. So many new smells to enjoy enroute!  He’s likely housetrained, and after going potty the moment we were out the door gave me a big stand up hug as a thank you.   You’re so welcome, Midnight!  His teeth are white and bright, his weight perfect for his size, and his gleaming coat all speak to his good care before joining us.   Off leash Midnight loves to play with a ball, doesn’t guard it, and brings it over for a fun game of keep away – so cute!  Taking treats gently he chomps and then runs over to pick up his ball again or toss a toy. Fun, friendly with an ever wagging tail, Midnight is looking for a fun family to call his own.   Come meet our boy and you decided whether he should be Midnight or Sunshine!!!

Another volunteer writes:   Can’t find Milly Rock in his kennel?   That’s likely because he’s: 1)out for a walk with a volunteer (he’s a favorite), or 2) he’s romping in play with another dog!  Milly Rock has an important job with us, a greeter dog for new dogs entering the system, and he’s a rockstar!   Matching his play style to that of his partner he’s a joy to watch play.  Tail wagging, friendly and welcoming, new dogs are put at ease by his play style.  Milly Rock is so smart that it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s whispering some words of encouragement to his new playmate.   Come meet our gorgeous, friendly, hunk of a boy today.

Milly Rock is just his name..He is a puppy and does not want to be a street boy. A home sweet home he dreams of as well as  the love of a master… Milly Rock is just 7 months of age,  left with us with no mention other than …too hyper…Milly Rock has been well fed, though. His coat is shiny and he looks quite healthy. He is the cutest, as black as night with lively brown eyes that look right into mine. Milly Rock knows sit, stay and has learned to retrieve a ball. No guarding involved. He seems to like other dogs and adopts the play position when he sees one..He is a bit stressed though and cries briefly when i put him back in his den. Milly Rock pulls on the leash and does his business in one stop. We can not of course say that he is house trained at this point.  He loves treats very much and will jump quite  high for them. He can be a little mouthy but nothing that can not be stopped with a firm no or redirected with a treat…He is youngster and needs the training he never or barely had. Milly Rock has a good heart, is sociable, playful,  energetic, willing to learn and is a youngster that will really rock in your experienced , caring and loving hands. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

====================================================================

BEHAVIOR:

Finders said that he ate dry food while at their home and was very very hyper but not aggressive. Midnight was very hyper and pulled and jumped on councilor and desks. He was friendly but hard to handle, he still allowed all handling.

Milly Rock came into the care center as a stray. His finder says that he was high-energy in the home, but showed no aggression. He was exuberant at intake, jumping on the Admissions Counselor and jumping onto desks. He was easy to handle for his initial medical examination. He pulled hard on the leash during his SAFER relief walk, and jumped hard on the assessor in the room. He was friendly upon entering SAFER assessment room. Milly Rock held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, relaxed. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, open mouth. Milly rock was distracted during Tag game, unresponsive to touch at each pass, jumping up and slightly mouthing assessor, but settled easily. He mouthed assessor’s hand without applying pressure on first Squeeze attempt, did not pull his paw back on second Squeeze. Milly Rock engaged with Toy, kept a firm grip, body not stiff. When off leash, Milly Rock plays exuberantly with other dogs, both male and female. The Behavior Team feels Milly Rock would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. He may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as no mouthing.

Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.
