11/19/15 20:22hrs Porshe is a 10 month spayed American Pit bull terrier mix. She was born in January 2015 and has been cared for by her owner since 3 weeks old however due to lack of time, she has been surrendered. SOCIAL LIFE & PERSONALITY Porshe is described as playful, affectionate and timid. She lived in a home with a 7 year old child and played exuberantly with the child. Porshe allowed petting and would play wrestle with her owner and the child in the home. She also lived with a miniature pinscher that she would attempt to play with. She would head bump and nibble softly at the other dog’s ears or legs. When Porshe notices other dogs outside she attempts to approach them, while wagging her tail. BEHAVIOR Porshe is accustomed to following her owner around the home. She attempts to climb onto her owner’s lap to relax and be petted. She is accustomed to being bathed every two weeks and was behaved well enough for the 7 year old to give her a bath. When Porshe is eating she doesn’t react if she is approached or if her food is touched. Her owner stated the 7 year old child would hold Porshe bowl in place for Porshe while she ate because her bowl would move around on the floor as she ate. Porshe wouldn’t bark if people knocked at the door. She greeted visitors by jumping on them and licking them. Porshe is not house broken. Her owner stated she isn’t on a custom walking schedule due to the owner’s working hours, so she has accidents in the home. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Porshe knows the commands “sit”, “stay” and “food.” She is accustomed to being crated during the day and does well for about 6 hours at a time. She enjoys playing with chew toys and playing chase and wrestling. Porshe is accustomed to eating Blue Buffalo dry dog food. She will sometimes be given wet food mixed in with the dry. She slept on her own pillow covered with a blanket at night. DURING INTAKE Porshe remained quiet and calm during the intake. She would sniff the Admissions Counselor hand when approached. She would wag her tail and jump onto the Admissions Counselor’s lap while being petted. She was collared, scanned for a microchip (positive) and photographed without displaying any negative behavior.

11/23/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Like so many puppies whose owners, although well meaning and loving, have no time to train, Porshe, a pocket Pitie, an exquisite ten month old damsel, finds herself at the care center. She comes with such great comments, though beside for the fact that she has “accidents’, a deal breaker for her previous master whose schedule did not allow housetraining… Porshe has been so well cared for. She looks like a china doll, as elegant and classy as the car she is named after….She lived and played exuberantly with a 7 year old child, allowed him to give her a bath and even feed her. She is described as playful, affectionate and timid. I doubt she mingled much with other pooches but certainly wanted to according to her former owner. She was gentle with the MinPin she shared the house with, obviously intuitive enough to know that she had to be super careful with her. Porshe is a little shy in playgroups but so wants to play. She is a big tail wagger and butt wiggler when she meets other dogs on the walk. She pulls a little on the leash and zigzags before to find a pace pleasant for both of us. Free in a pen, she is quite energetic, squirmy but sits nicely on command and for treats. She is rather hungry but takes food properly from my hand. She comes on the lap for hugs and kisses. She is at times a little mouthy but only after i overexcite her…I so love to play with puppies….Porshe is an adorable, gorgeous, active and healthy youngster, a good little girl who needs a dedicated new master willing to perfect and add to the skills she already has. A star and a wonderful forever best friend she will be to the one who will take her home… Porshe is dreaming and waiting at the Manhattan Care Center.
