Being Alone, Anaconda, and Andrew Bogut: Good little Girl who has been beautifully cared for. Kymbella slept in bed with her owner, comes when called ans sits nicely on command. She is very playful, likes toys likes to cuddle and gives sweet little kisses in return. anhattan ACC 6 yrs oldi 40 lbs Kymbella ID#22518 RETURNED 06/19/18 / Reason: Landlord Issues again (was Returned to Owner 03/17/18) >> NEW PICS and NEW POSTER for lovely Kymbella <3 KYMBELLA IS A GOOD LITTLE GIRL who sadly lost her beloved human and her home due to housing issues. Please share dear litty Kimbella for a beautiful new home <3 A volunteer writes: Kimbella seems to have been a one-man(woman)'s best friend, although she is said to be welcoming of strangers and children. She comes with excellent recommendations, slept with her person, was house trained, very playful and a good girl when left alone in the house. Kimbella has been beautifully cared for by her former owner, is perfectly groomed in a silver grey brindle coat, healthy, well mannered and was surrendered into our care because of housing issues. She is acting a little shy here at the care center but complies with whatever is requested from her. She is a great walker, does her business on the way, ignores birds and other dogs, sits on command and comes right away when called. She does not like it when her peers are too pushy or bark at her. She enjoys being free in the yard, hops on the bench next to me, squeezes against my chest and accepts caresses, giving kisses in return. She lightens up at the sight of a ball and runs briefly after it. Kimbella most likely likes her space, gentle manners, soft words and well-behaved people and peers. She would likely be a wonderful friend to the new human looking for a loyal companion. Kimbella is at the Manhattan Care Center, dreaming to be yours. Another volunteer writes She's so sad it's palpable. Surrendered due to NYCHA. Her former owner said she pulls on leash but she walked beautifully for me and another volunteer later in the day. She stops walking all of a sudden and flops over to roll around on her back - she did it twice with me, once as we were crossing the street on First Avenue! She gives kisses,likes to cuddle, and although she apparently bit a dog in her building I venture a guess it's because the dog bothered her. observed her with multiple dogs of all sizes and when they ignore hershe ignores them. It's only if they bark or pull towards her that she responds in kind. She's really so sweet, and volunteers are singing her praises. She's a Level 2 only because of the dog issue which is SO easily manageable and controlled, even in NYC.

A volunteer writes: "True to his name, Romeo is a little cuddler with a big heart whose affectionate charms are impossible to resist. On our very first date he smothered me in a flurry of kisses before professing his undying love through tail wags, lap snuggles and the kind of deep, adoring gaze that only a doe-eyed Chihuahua can truly do justice. A great leash walker who high steps his way through the world like a tiny prized pony, he passes other dogs with ease and periodically looks up to 'check in' and make sure everyone's having as good a time as he is.

Bailey Jay, Bowser, and Cats: end qDiv g7027 @ Manhattan ACC 7 yrs old, 52 lbs Very sweet Girl in need of some TLC A little Shy, Friendly and Gentle. Xena loves treats, enjoys caresses, sits on command and walks nicely on leash. She seems to be housetrained. ****TO BE KILLED 8/15/18**** Gentle Xena is in need of some TLC <3 A volunteer writes: Xena is a shy girl, across the board but she warms up quickly according to her former owners. She loved to spend time with her family and she is described as an affectionate, well mannered, obedient and loyal pet. No wonder that Xena appears to us like she is daydreaming, somewhere else. She prefers to stay in her kennel and needs coaxing coming out for a stroll. She does walk very nicely though and attends right away to business. I had almost given up on making friends with Xena when all of a sudden, she put her paws on my lap and gently demanded treats. Ha! What happened? Something had broken the ice and I am still to understand what ! Now we are talking! Xena follows me everywhere, she sits(even hops) for treats, jumps on the bench I am sitting on and accepts gladly petting all over. She even looks happy, me too. Xena is not a loner, she just needs people to be whole and a family pet once again. Will you open your home and your heart to Xena, unleashing all the love she has in her heart? Xena is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) Recommendations: No young children (under 5) Recommendations comments: No young children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Xena may be intimidated by young children. Shee needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption. Potential challenges: Fearful Potential challenges comments: Fearful: Xena is reported to be shy with new people and is fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Xena the option to walk away from any social interaction. Xena should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Xena's choice to approach a new person or thing. Xena would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.

She is still trying to find her place among new people and new walls. She is a good walker, likely house trained , fine with the noises of the street and civil to all dogs met. Missy does not like my treats but as I walked her later on that day, I brought rotisserie chicken with me. She gulped it down in no time and her tail was wagging like a helix in full speed.
