05/17/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Redd is known to have a very sensitive soul and one can imagine that finding herself in a totally unfamiliar environment without her loved ones must be very tough on her. She is lost and conflicted, hesitant to be leashed and once out of her kennel, jumps into the first human arms she can find, looking for protection. She wags her tail a lot, clearly wants to meet people and other dogs at our gate when she is leash free but then backs off and runs, mouth open, anxious and stressed or settles on my lap for much needed hugs. I so do feel for her…Redd is thin, the very reason her owners relinquished her to us, not knowing what to make of her condition. She does eat, though, here at the care center. Redd lived happily with many children of all ages, shared the house in harmony with another Pittie and was good with other dogs in a park dog run. She was friendly to strangers, playful, well behaved and very affectionate. Her owner master did say that she was a bit anxious (for what it means). I am hoping that Redd will find comfort in meeting other dogs in playgroups, something she used to do before joining us. All that we know about Redd points to a nice gal who needs a calm, loving and nurturing environment to thrive and be the wonderful family dog she dreams to be. Redd is at the Manhattan Care Center.

 

Another volunteer writes: Delicate, affectionate and cute as a button, is little Redd a dog or an angel? No one is snugglier, gentler or more grateful for attention than this strawberry-colored shortcake, and the instant we’re alone together she nuzzles deep into my lap for comforting hugs and petting. The world is a very big place when you’re as small as Redd, and the elevator, the stairwell, even the hallway loom fearfully large, but we make it through these gauntlets together. Once out in the fresh air, she blooms like a delicate flower. Still a bit shy but keen to show off her skills, Redd obediently performs a ‘come’ and a ‘sit’, she accepts treats super softly, and after a few lessons she even starts lifting her paw for a ‘shake’. A hidden treasure just waiting for her chance to shine, sweet Redd comes with a bottomless supply of unconditional love and loyalty and she’s already spayed and ready to starting lighting up your life today!
