A volunteer writes: I sometimes make the mistake to wrongly identify a dog as female when it is a male and vice versa. No doubt about Jelly…She is a girl with the loveliest face and gentle brown almond eyes. She earned her pink scarf…. I found her laying peacefully at the back of her kennel. Hello sweetheart, I am a friend…Will you join me for a walk? Jelly gets up, slowly comes to her door, looks at me right in the eyes, wags feebly her tail and accepts politely my leash. Life has not treated her well. She is skin and bones, her nails are long, an existing sore can be seen over her hip joint and more are about to happen if she does not gain weight. She came in dehydrated, found roaming loose in a park. Despite her condition, Jelly is friendly and sociable although she is still to learn all about being a pet. For that, she needs to be discovered by someone who will open her home and heart to her and show Jelly that life is not all about survival. Jelly’s den is clean and orderly. She does her business in the yard, walks quite nicely and does sit after a few prompts, on command. She seems surprised by my caresses and is a tiny bit handshy. She is hungry but does not snatch food voraciously from my hand. Jelly is at the Manhattan Care Center. A very sweet gal, easy to be with and waiting to see the end of the tunnel, the first spring flowers, the green grass of Central Park in the summer and hoping to spend the harsh days of next winter with a warm coat on her back…in your loving and caring hands. Make her wish come true.

Another Volunteer writes: I recently had the pleasure of spending an entire afternoon with lovely Miss Jelly at an offsite event. Waiting calmly in her crate while other dogs barked excitedly around her, once leashed and outside, Jelly proved to be an easy walker on the leash, and did all of her business during a stroll around the block. Surrounded by people, other dogs and even a high-energy puppy, Jelly took it all in stride. She was polite and friendly towards all other dogs, wagging her tail and engaging in positive sniffing and other body language, and then leaning-in for some laptime (how cute is it when a larger dog doesnt have any idea of their size?), a scratch behind the ears and then some kisses. Jelly has a strong body and somewhat intense/expressive face, yet she is a marshmallow, gently accepting treats from my hand and petting from many small children who stopped by to say hello. Jelly deserves a kind and loving home, where she will be the best friend.
04/06/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jelly was shy but friendly during the assessment – low body and tail, but trying to stay close. She was a bit cautious when walking through a busy hallway but was calm and relaxed during handling. She was calm and relaxed when playing tag with assessor and followed at the end of the leash with soft body, wagging tail. Jelly did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. She showed no interest in toys and kept a firm grip on the rawhide with a neutral body. Jelly came to the care center as a stray. She was very calm and relaxed during intake. Jelly did not show any concerns during her assessment but may be a bit cautious when in a very stimulating environment and may need a chance to warm up. The Behavior Department believes Jelly can go to an average home, but if there are children in the home an in-depth interaction should be held before adoption. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1&2: 2. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are back, tail is slightly tucked. Food 1. Dog calmly allows the food to be moved, follows the dish, but does not interfere with the dish’s movement. Dog’s body is soft and loose, eyes soft, tail neutral. She lifts her head when hand is pushed against her cheek. Toy 1. No interest. Rawhide 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and body neutral. She does not place her body between you and the rawhide. Dog – dog 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral Helper Dog: A1031765
