05/25/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I guess that Bunni’s owner got more than what he bargained for when he found Bunni’s mom. Indeed, she was pregnant with 11 puppies, Bunni being one of them. It took a while to place them all and Bunni being the smallest, was brought to the Manhattan Care Center. With us, Bunni does not act one bit as she is described by her former master. She is shy, hesitant to be leashed, paces in the yard, pulls on the leash, zigzags in the street, totally unfocused. Free in a pen, it takes her a while to settle down, eat my treats and come on the bench next to me for some bonding. She lets me pet her, sits on command but she is on the run, going nowhere and hoping most likely to find a way home and to her family. She is interested by other dogs in a nearby pen but withdraws as they come too close. In playgroups, she is shy but comes a little to life in the presence of other pooches. Bunni is known to be quite outgoing, rambunctious and playful with children and other dogs. She seems to have been quite a happy little girl and so well cared for too. She is paper trained and does not seem to have handling issues or separation anxiety. She will most likely need some basic puppy training and be taught the dos and don’t of perfect doghood. Bunny, the tiny redhead, is quite endearing and yearning for what we all really dream of… not the riches but a loving family and a warm home to belong to. Bunni is at the Manhattan Care Center, wishing upon a star.
