SAFE 10/24/17
Hello, my name is Muneca. My animal id is #9701. I am a female black puppy at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 14-Oct-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving – no pets allowed.
Muneca 9701 is at risk for a respiratory infection (CIRDC). Behaviorally, Muneca has been social and affectionate with humans and dogs.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes:”Muneca” translates to “doll” in Spanish. Well, come on. How perfect is that? For that’s exactly what our little Muneca is. Perfectly petite, perpetually precious, a pocket princess, a delicate beauty in an ebony coat, with a face as pristine as porcelain. But while some dolls may be made to admire only from a distance our magical Muneca is just the opposite. Such a young girl and so very full of life, Muneca is all about enjoyment, playtime, and fun. Oh, fun! Most definitely fun. But hold on. For despite her very young age (5 months to be precise) our magnificent, multi-talented Muneca also possesses the manners of one Emily Post. She sits politely for her treats, tilting her head to one side those puppy eyes wide, and takes them so gently you barely notice they’re gone. Marvelous Muneca would do best with an experienced family who’ll show her the ropes and give this beautiful babe the structure and guidance she needs. The perfect pocket princess, our sweet little doll, the marvelous Muneca. All are waiting to make your acquaintance at Manhattan ACC.
