A Little Bit About Me…
A volunteer writes: Bam Bam is a handsome knight waiting quietly in his kennel and checking right away when someone is at his door. He is young, loves company and likes to stretch his legs in a stroll around the block. Bam Bam is a good walker, likes to sniff around and leave his scents. He is polite with his peers in the street or in playgroups. It was so cute to see him play bowing to a little female dog on the other side of a fence. He is gentle sampling treats from my hands and sits on and off for them. Balls and toys do not interest him at this point but this friendly and sociable youngster will learn in no time once he will be your pet. Indeed, Bam Bam is a gentle character who likes the attention and caresses. He is really good looking with or without a coat or accessories he does not mind at all to wear. He is not camera shy either. I was smitten by him and enjoyed yesterday my second encounter with him, looking forward for more to come…unless of course….he will be no more with us but in your loving home. Come and meet Bam Bam at the Manhattan Care Center !

RTO 01/21/18
Hello, my name is Nash . My animal id is #16771. I am a male chocolate dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 23-Dec-2017.
Nash is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Nash, whom we believe would be suitable for most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Summary:: The behavior department feels that Nash may be most compatible with female dogs who are playful and tolerant. Behavior history around other dogs is not available due to arriving as a stray. He has been observed to be gently playful when introduced to female dogs in the care center. He has not yet been introduced to other male dogs while in our care.

Summary:: Upon intake Nash allowed all handling.
Date of initial:: 12/23/2017
Summary:: Nash was whining but sought attention and allowed handling.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Nash so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Nash consistently displays highly social behavior with his human caretakers. He maintains a loose wiggly body throughout interactions and solicits attention from handlers.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
