Neptune and Mars, two jolly youngsters  were found alone …but together and most likely comforting each other. They are both adorable, attractive babes who seem to have been very well cared for and enjoy a great and playful personality. Neptune is the oreo one, perched on long legs, silly like the puppy he still is and at times a little shy and easily overwhelmed.  Resting comfortably in his kennel, he is so ready to go out when I am at his door.  In the street, he trots and dances on the leash, tail everlasting  wagging above his body. His eyes sparkle. He is so happy to go out and be in company.  He can sit on command and not only for treats and gives standing hugs. He abandons himself for caresses in any arms  that will receive him.. He is a very young adult just out of puppy hood and is very needy of human affection.  Neptune  is gorgeous, slim, healthy and beautifully dressed. He is a very sociable little boy(at times timid), quite affectionate, playful, good with other dogs(he even came with his friend) and will make a wonderful forever best friend, ready to build memories with you. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center

1/12 – 13: When introduced off leash to other dogs in the care center, Neptune is tolerant of polite approach. Neptune engages in a bit of play, then becomes overwhelmed by pushy play.
Summary
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During initial medical exam, Neptune appeared to allow all handling, friendly and eager to play.
ENERGY LEVEL:

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Potential challenges:
_X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control (It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended.)
_X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition
