A volunteer writes: How cute can a puppy be ? Rocky, certainly ,could win a first price.. He is a  compact little bundle, cinnamon and cream, well built, well groomed and so healthy. He carries around a very serious face but he is known to be  very active, affectionate, friendly and playful. It is hard to get a smile from a pup who was a beloved house pet just few days ago. Rocky looks a little sad in his kennel. I can hear sobs at times…. He lays right at his door as he wants to come out and be in company. Rocky is leashed one, two, three and walks briskly, doing his business without marking as soon as we are out the door. He is fine meeting other dogs and even playbows to two friends playing  with their caretakers. Free in a pen, he acts quite shy, rolls on his side when I play a little too excitedly with him but he comes around, wagging his tail and asking for more.He sits on command and takes treats gently from my hand.He does not mouth or go for the leash. He seems to appreciate to be hugged tight and kissed. Rocky is with us for the very same reason most puppies are relinquished …No time and need for  training…Well, it is obvious that pups like kids need patience, time and upbringing…I could go on and on with that matter…Rocky comes otherwise with excellent comments. Good with people, children, other dogs(even little ones), house trained and free of handling issues…His main problem:chewing on household items when left alone in the house..There are remedies  for that…Rocky is too adorable to remain any longer in our walls…He needs a new home, a new master or family who understands and wants to make a rockstar of a pup…Come and meet our Rocky at the Manhattan Care Center and take him home as your forever best friend.
