Is she nice? She has a hard stare. Nice ? Of course she is nice…Spent time with Carnation and you will see what a lovely dog she is. I heard that she was  quite playful too  in playgroups with other dogs. Carnation is a pretty flower, trim, well dressed and rather elegant even that she might have been a mother more than once. Her eyes sparkle when she sees a ball and her mouth  opens in an expecting smile. Carnation loves to play…tag, ball, hide and seek… She is a young gal full of life and enjoys to be with her person and whatever is offered to her. She walks well on the leash, comes when called and sits beautifully on command. I forgot to say that she relieved herself as soon as we reached the street. Carnation likes to be caressed, hops on my lap and waits for her shot of love. Yes, Carnation does look quite stern at times. Just think about it….It is quite tough for these dogs to be shuffled around… So let’s not judge a book by its cover and give lovely Carnation a chance, at least to be met, played with and may be a happy match will happen. Carnation is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center

BEHAVIOR—Average Home

Carnation pulls a bit on leash.  She was calm and relaxed during handling. Carnation was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. She did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Carnation was not interested in toys or rawhide.

Carnation did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture.

Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Dog is likely crouching, may have long lip or lip lick.
