Money
Hello, my name is Money. My animal id is #20650. I am a male tan dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 13-Feb-2018.
Money is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we suggest that Money would be best suited to a dog experienced home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Forget about Vegas, baby. New York City is where all the beautiful babies are, specifically East 110th street. There’s one sweet little fellow in particular that I recommend you meet. One who promises to be worth the greatest gamble. To be the jackpot of your dreams. 5 year-old Money is quiet and demure in his kennel but don’t let that shy exterior fool you. Our cinnamon-coated boy with the adorably wrinkled brow is a social butterfly ready and rearing to see the world, and to take you right along with him. Money is easily leashed and off this compact cutie and I go, off to see the world, but first a stroll in the park. Now with an inner light that would outshine the Hollywood sign, and more excitement and ‘joie de vivre’ than a night at the Stardust Casino, Money is all about adventure and taking in as much of life as he can which, yes, does often result in some pulling of the leash. But make no mistake. Our beautiful baby also has a quiet side, one that comes alive once we settle ourselves onto a park bench or later back inside with friends. Money comes to us as an owner surrender having previously lived with two children ages 9 and 10 and also with a small dog. He’s described as gentle and respectful of all, and also is said to be unbothered by being brushed or bathed, and to know the command “sit.” Our little spirited monkey, with a tail that never stops wagging, is so sweet, unassuming, and fun that I can’t help tell him over and over again “you’re so money, Money! You’re so money!” hoping he hears me every time. For he really is priceless. And in experienced and loving hands worth beyond his weight in gold. One to be treasured the rest of his days. Money is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: It is reported Money may growl if someone unfamiliar were to try to take something out of his mouth. For this reason we recommend no young children at this time.
Potential challenges: : House soiling,Resource guarding,Strength/leash pulling
Potential challenges comments:: House soiling: Money is reported to have been housetrained in the past. He will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside (treats, toys, games), consistent feeding schedule, and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse. Resource Guarding: It is reported that Money may growl when someone unfamiliar tries to remove something from his mouth. We recommend that Money be left alone while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Money’s mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. He should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. Leash Pulling: It is reported Money pulls hard on leash. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
