12/08/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Puppy Spot is one handsome young Prince. He is dressed attractively in a faintly patterned silky red coat. His eyes sparkle gentle lights. He owns superb rabbit ears that he is not afraid to use…great for the pictures!! Spot is ready when you are. Leashed one, two, three, he exits the building on 3 legs. Indeed, Spot is not using his right hind that seems to be injured. But the temptation of a walk and time free in a pen is too great. Let’s go…slowly, little boy, or the veterinarians will be on our case and you will not heal well. Loose in an enclosure, Spot moves at his own pace. I know he would love to play ball, run around and jump but his body tells him otherwise. He likes treats that he takes gently from my hand and absolutely loves caresses and hugs. He is a wonderful face licker! Spot might be a gorgeous youngster but he is too thin, his nails are so long and his injury is a mystery. We are feeding him more intensively and providing him with the rest needed, but he will need, without doubt, follow up care in a veterinary clinic once adopted or fostered. A loving home will perfect his recovery and insure a bright future. Spot is very much liked here at the care center and we are all hoping that his lucky star will soon shine high and bright. Spot is at the Manhattan Care Center.

He will pull toward them and attempt to initiate play. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 12/6/2016 Spot allowed all handling during his initial medical examination. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of experience) Potential challenges: _X_Destructive behavior – Spot’s previous owner notes that he may chew on walls and get into the garbage when left alone. Spot would benefit from crate training when left alone in the home. The crate must be made positive and never used as punishment. We also recommend durable chew toys such as stuffed Kongs and nylabones, to keep Spot engaged while he is alone.
