11/23/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “She so enjoys herself mingling with other pooches and is dainty in playgroups…” Wow, we all love to hear this about a dog we have bonded with at the care center. Nine years old and adapting so nicely, Diva must really be a very nice dog. Of course, I had sensed this from day one when I met her. Such a pretty manicured gal, bright eyed and tail wagging in her kennel despite her relinquishment due to her family moving out of state. Diva has been outstandingly cared for, and if it was not for her greying muzzle, I would place her at 2-3 years of age and not 9. Although well mannered and calm, Diva is up and about, a great walker and very much house trained. She is very sociable, friendly, comes at once when called and sits beautifully on command. She is a real pleasure to be with. Diva comes with excellent recommendations. She lived and played happily with a 4 year little boy, understands a number of commands, is well behaved when left alone in the house and has absolutely no handling issues. She would be welcoming of strangers. All in all… Diva is a star as indicated by her name. I see her living in all kinds of settings, single owner, family, kids, other dogs and certainly if an older person decided to brighten up his or her days with a dog, Diva would be an excellent choice too. Thousand thumbs up for Diva!!! She is waiting at the Manhattan Care Center to meet you… and start her life all over again as your forever best friend.
