Lady - A741438 - German Shepherd Mix

Lady is a 7 year old german shepherd mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 12/7/07.

Lady is a good dog. She does pull the leash alot, so she needs some training with that. I'm surprised at the age of 7 she doesn't walk properly, but it could be being in the kennel so long. She probably just wants to get outta there.

Lady is a cutey. She enjoys being petted and rubbed under the neck.

Randol - A741747 - Pit Bull Mix

Randol is a 4 month old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 12/10/07.

For only 4 months old this little pup is a leader. He has a mind of his own and definitely uses it. He needs some training. He's only 4 months old so it shouldn't be a surprise. It was challenging to get him to walk by my side without pulling the leash. I don't even thing I accomplished my goal :( Oh well...

Randol loves to play and gets excited around other dogs.

He is looking for his forever home.

A741669 - Hazel - American Staffordshire

Hazel is a 7 month old american staffordshire terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 12/10/07.

Hazel looks so shy in her cage but don't be fooled. We took her out and she was absolutely all over the place. She pulled, ran and jumped on all the outdoor furniture. She even tried to get a taste of our egg and cheese sandwhich. She definitely needs training, but it should be easy because she's only 7 months old.

She needs a patient owner who will work with her obediance training. She does sit a little but not for long.

Hazel is looking for her forever home.

Dora - A734382 - Pit Bull

Dora is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/16/07.

Dora is a very confident independent dog. She does well on her own. She is a curious dog who will wander off. She would follow me for a minute then stop and go about her own way. She's a free spirit. She's not much of a cuddle bug but she does like to play and can get excited. We started to run with her and she loved it but then she got very excited and started to jump and nibble a little too much. She just needs a strong hand and a dominant leader.

Alex - A734141 - Pit Bull

Alex is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/14/07.

Alex was found as a stray. He was laying curled up in his cage with his ears all floppy. Turns out he was not feeling so well. He threw up, but it must of been a good thing for him because after that he was one playful pup. He just loves to be held. It was challenging trying to get a shot of him without him on us because the minute we stopped he would be all over us.

We tried to play ball with him but he wasn't a ball player. He's more of a love bug and lap dog.

Alex is waiting for his forever home.

Jackie - A733516 - Pit Bull

Jackie is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/10/07.

Jackie was found as a stray. She is extremely playful. She loves to play ball. She started to get possessive of the ball, but all we had to do was "claim the ball," as Cesar would say. We kept it between our feet and blocked it from her. Then we picked it up and threw it. When she ran back with the ball she would drop it. Yeah! Before, she would run to us and then fake us out. She would act like she was going to give it to us but then run by us. Dogs are incredibly smart and cunning!

She didn't take to puddles either. She would jump over them. I guess she didn't like getting her paws wet.

Jackie would make an incredible companion.

Denim - A705891 - Pit Bull

Denim is a 10 month old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/15/07.

Denim is a beautiful dog. It is unfortunate that she was given up because her foster children's inspector objected to a pit bull as a pet. I guess he hasn't seen my *Kids for Pits" campaign (http://www.maxtheshelterdog.com/kidsforpits.html).

Denim is truly a playful little dog. She loves to cuddle and kiss. When she first came out of her cage she was running and pulling on the leash. But after a few times around the roof she calmed down and walked in line. The foster children are missing out on a great companion.

Mase - A733850 - Pit Bull

Mase is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/12/07. He was found as a stray.

Mase is a very dominant and strong dog. He needs some heavy duty leash manners. He loves to be massaged and cuddled and kissed. Actually, he demands it :)

I was only able to get 2 shots of him because he was a little obsessed with the camera. Everytime I took it out he would go for it.

Mase needs a strong owner with great leadership skills.

Kiwi - A731629 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Kiwi is a 2 year and 6 month old American Pit Bull Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC since 9/28/07.

Kiwi is a very strong dog. He is also a dominant dog. There's no question about that. He did pull a lot and when we sat down to rest he wasn't interested in cuddling. It was all about sniffing and pooping for him. But, nevertheless, I enjoyed my time with him as I do all of them. I can appreciate his dominance and confidence in himself.

When we brought him back in, we passed by this other dogs cage and the other dog went nuts. After being in their cages for a long time, some dogs will develop "cage aggression," which this dog did. He barked and growled at Kiwi but Kiwi paid him no mind. The other dog was persistent, so Kiwi started to bark and growl back. It was a little scary but we managed to pull Kiwi away. Not that anything could happen through the bars, but still....

The good thing is that Kiwi didn't start a thing. He needs a strong owner, a dominant owner, more dominant than him, and definitely one that can handle his strength.

LLama - A731433 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Llama is a 1 year and 6 month old American Pit Bull Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/27/07.

What a beautiful dog Llama is.... Pits are just amazing to me :)

Anyway, Llama did have a pulling problem. He took control the minute he left his cage, but it was amazing how once he was shown that we were the leaders and not him, he quickly stepped in line. It was all a matter of a little tug and nudge here and there. He even wanted to be cuddled after that. Before, he could care less :)

Llama needs a safe and loving home.

King - A731881 - Harrier Mix

King is a 1 year old Harrier Mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/29/07.

Okay, I don't usually take out any other dog unless it's a pit but..... King needed to get out. He had an incredible amount of energy. He jumped off the ground several times. He is very hyper but it's nothing a good old fashion belly rub can't solve :) After a few rounds around the roof, he mellowed out. Thank goodness... for us !

The owners gave him up after 3 days! What???? They said they had no time. Shouldn't they have known they didn't have time for a dog in the first place?? I know, I can go on and on but that would take away from King.

King needs a home that can give him lots of exercise.

May is a true beauty. She had an extraordinary amount of energy, so we decided to take her for a little spin (run) around the roof. Boy can she haul A** :)
