Please, do not be put off if you see Porscha/Dixie barking in her kennel….She is a lively gal. She wants out and to be in the company of people and dogs. She is so happy in playgroups with her peers… Porscha is ready for me…On command, she sits behind her door. She knows what comes next…The leash…Her tail wags. Her eyes are bright and a large Pittie smile adorns her pretty face… She is so welcoming, so engaging. Porsche pulls on the leash until she does her business. She is glad to meet other dogs and people who come to say hello. I think that she is the kind of dog ready for any kind of adventure you might want to propose her. the real pal, buddy and partner in crime…Porscha is a good listener, can sit on command, pose for pictures, hops on the bench and enjoys to spend time on my lap, chewing a rawhide… Although Porsche seems to have been well cared for (she has a beautiful chocolate dress, a great weight and appears healthy), she was left behind in a burned down apartment building and brought to us by the police. She was friendly and willing upon pick up.  Porscha is a cute and compact gal, very friendly, energetic, playful with all and sociable who will make an awesome companion and forever best friend. Come and meet her soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

Dixie A1085008 was left behind in a burned down apartment building by her owner because she did not want to deal with her, the police were told by the super. The officers were called to the scene to pick her up. They stated that she is very friendly and allowed all handling.

Behavior during intake

Dixie was  very friendly and allowed all handling. She was very excited when I took her out of the crate and she jumped on the officers to say hello. She had an open mouth and wagging tail and was too excited to pose for photos. She went into the kennel on her own and was given food and water.

11/28/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Porscha lived with a 1 yo and 10 yo and was “very close” to the 10 year old. We are told she loved cuddle sessions with her ” human kids”, lets the 10 year old sleep on her at night, is housetrained and will go to the door when she needs to go out, is friendly with strangers greeting all with a wagging tail, loves long runs and games of fetch, and bath time is fun time! Surrendered to our care as a new baby came home and there wasn’t time for all, Porscha is thrilled to be out for a walk with a new friend. She potties immediately, wags her tail and smiles a great big smile. In the park she assumes the squirrels are there to chase (sorry Porscha), and pulls towards other dogs we pass to play. She’s energetic and friendly, showing off her sit for a treat which she takes with the very edge of her teeth and then spits out. I guess she’s used to better! Off leash in a pen she bounces around with a toy and a ball but doesn’t retrieve and when I sing she sings along with me!!! She’s a crooner! With other dogs in group she play bows to the helper dog and greets politely. Porscha has known only one family her entire life and is handling the change in her situation very well. She’s energetic and fun and has proven herself to be a great family dog. She’s looking for a new family to take care of and cordially invites you to stop by to meet her today.
