A volunteer writes: Petey is a “little rascal” with a gentle heart who came to us as his family was going though hard times. He has been well cared for, was clearly loved and comes with comments we like to read when we want to adopt a new pet. Petey is of medium activity level (quite important), housetrained, friendly to strangers, loving with his pwner and the child of the house, good with other dogs (he frequented dogs parks), playful and non destructive nor anxious when left alone. I absolutely love what his former owner said about him, “He is like my son, he has been a great companion and emotional support, he listens”. Petey has been initially shy here at the care center. He feared the camera. His wary eyes and body posture said…no paparazzi. I was happy (as I really love him) that he opened up during our first session together. A little run in the yard and a ball game teased his mind and he became a happier youngster again, coming on my lap, smudging my camera lens with his nose and kissing me profusely. He is such a tender lap dog! He pulls slightly on the leash and does his business in the street. He is cool with other dogs met in the yard and tries his best in playgroups with his peers. Tears came to my eyes when I read what Petey’s owner said about him and confirmed my feelings about him, who basically does not know him. Just instinct telling me that he is a good and loving dog. Come and see Petey for yourself and fall in love just as I did. Petey is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

ENERGY LEVEL: Petey’s previous owner described him as having a medium level of activity. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below)

Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: Petey is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Petey the option to walk away from any social interaction. Petey should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Petey’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Petey would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
