05/20/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/20/16 10:53 Basic Info: Princesa A1074390 is a 12yr old female brown brindle & white AMPBT mix who was inherited from a deceased family member over a 1yr ago and is being surrendered along with her son Kaleman A1074391 due to the owner moving not having the proper space for them. They were both last seen by a veterinarian in 2014 and Princesa currently has a skin tag on her neck that appears to have some dried blood on it. Kaleman has no known health issues/injuries. Socialization: Around strangers Princesa is friendly/outgoing. She’s spent time with children ages ranging from 4-17yrs and was gentle, exuberant, relaxed, playful with them also the adult in the home & Kaleman (even though at times they are jealous when the other is getting attention/affection while they aren’t). Princesa has never bitten/scratched any person or animal. Behavior: Princesa isn’t bothered by the following: having her food/food bowl, toys/treats touched/moved, being moved off of furniture, being brushed, bath time or being disturbed while sleeping/resting. She hasn’t had her nails trimmed. If someone approaches the home/family member Princesa will bark to alert you. For A New Family to Know: Princesa is friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, mellow & independent with a low-medium activity level. Princesa enjoys sleeping, playing and being out in the yard (she only lived indoors during the winter months in her previous home over 1yr ago). Princesa enjoys chew toys and games of fetch, chase, wrestling (with Kaleman-even though at times it gets a little rough) & tug. Princesa is mostly an indoor only dog who sleeps anywhere & is walked 1-2x a day where she doesn’t pull on her leash. She eats dry Pedigree dog food 2x a day. She will have accidents in the home if someone takes too long to take her out. When left home alone Princesa is well behaved. Intake Behavior: Princesa allowed all handling. She allowed to be scanned (-), collared & taken pictures of including positioning her during her photo session. Princesa then walked into the kennel on her own.

05/23/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: We always hear about “Father and Sons”.. Well here, we have…… “Mother and Son”.. Twelve year old Princesa came with her eight year old little boy Kaleman to the Manhattan Care Center as their owners lost their home…They are quite a pair, two good elderly chaps who earned their gold medal as outstanding family pets. Although Princesa is at the crepuscule of her life, she still has quite a bit of energy in her to slowly stroll around the block and even climb stairs, although at times, she seems a little wobbly on her legs.. She does her business on the way and seems to be house trained as her owner related to us. She is often found sleeping in her den, though but is up promptly with a tap on the shoulder. Her nose is in full swing and she spots right away my stash of goodies, insisting politely to sample some.. She has been beautifully cared for, is perfectly dressed and looks quite well for her age. What’s not to love about Princesa? She is an old gal, true but she still has quite a lot of spunk in her and her warm smile melts my heart. She wags her tail a lot and I can tell that she enjoys the company.. Princesa loves caresses, cuddles, attention and does not mind at all the proximity of other dogs, big and small. She comes with beautiful comments, having lived in harmony with children of all ages and blessed her former owners with her love, playfulness and good nature… Princess is no spring chick. It’s a given… There is a match, though for each dog that is worth our attention. Princesa is one of them. Please, consider her. Older dogs like older people have a lot to offer aside issues related to their age. Princesa is a lovely gal, well cared for, very feminine, proper sociable and affectionate. Come and meet her soon and hopefully, give her the place she deserves… a home sweet home fit for her golden years.
