Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A volunteer writes: Little Shaggy is at his door, all ready for me to scoop him up and go for a stroll. He is a good walker and does his business as soon as we hit the street (we were told that he is house rated). Shaggy was surrendered into our care because the owner claims that he had become unfriendly to men and male dogs. Pets can be different in a shelter environment, but we did not observe this behavior at the care center. Shaggy is quite mellow, easy going, a good lap dog and likes petting as well as treats that he does not snatch from off my hand. He had a big smile for a couple who came to say hello and even gave a little dance on his hinds. Of course, prior owner’s comments have always to be taken into consideration and for now, a single pet household with older children is recommended. In the right hands, Shaggy will make a nice and loving little companion. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
