A volunteer writes; Prince, the King of playgroups!!!! I needed a crown and my best bet at hand was a Duke Devils headpiece…Prince is a handsome dude and he surely looks cute outfitted with blue trimmings. His congeniality has won him the heart of many here at the Manhattan Care Center. And no, he is not physically a crowd pleaser…..but his personality is so pleasant and debonair that it makes you want to spend the whole day with him. Prince waits at his door. A gentle snoozing sound and bedroom eyes speak for themselves. Take me out, please….Nobody can resist Prince…He walks beautifully on the leash, does his business without marking, sits beautifully and majestically on command and takes treats very politely from my hand. He loves to be caressed , hugged and kissed on the tip of his nose. Prince ‘s hallmark is his performance in playgroup with other dogs. He is a greeter and does a tip top job. Indeed he is playful and bouncy with the lively pooches and respectful of the calm and shy ones. I guess, Prince can read well his peers mind and understand and accept that not everybody is the same…Prince was left with us as his family could not care financially for a pet anymore. He comes with overwhelming recommendations..He lived with children, was extremely sociable with strangers, frequented dog parks…A dream companion…Although not Apollo…Prince shines by his inner beauty…Yes, he is tubby, has a few calluses and is a dark knight but he is an outstanding dog, well mannered, going with the flow, lively, playful, calm, good with his peers, loving…In a nutshell, a pooch who will fit in many settings, a family pet…Prince is a keeper. Welcome him in your home as fast as you can…Prince is at the Manhattan Care Center, dreaming to belong and be yours.

Prince during the tag interaction was quick to use his mouth in play and has poor body awareness, resulting in him mouthing handlers with light pressure. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture.
