Midnite - A708357 - Pit Bull







Midnite is a 10 month old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/11/07.

I didn't spend much time with Midnite. Another volunteer had the pleasure of her company. The volunteer did tell me that she was calm and that she enjoyed being with her. She didn't pull the leash and most of the time she laid down and enjoyed the sun.

Night - A707532 - American Staffordshire Terrier







Night is a 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/6/07.

Night has been at the AC&C for a while and he is still extremely upbeat and playful. I'm very surprised. He's a strong little bugger and loves his toy. He would come to me with his toy in his mouth and try and put it in my hand to pull. He also loved to rub against my legs. What a sweetheart!

Miga - A709832 - American Pit Bull Terrier







Miga is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/20/07.

Miga has only been at the AC&C for 2 days and she is very depressed and sick. Her nose is stuffed up with boogies and she has no interest in anyone or any dog. I tried to snap her out of it by just walking her and acting like nothing was the matter. It worked for a bit, but then she didn't want to walk anymore. She laid down and refused to budge. I let go of the leash and walked away to see if she would follow. She didn't. I decided to just sit by her and then leave. I did this a couple of times. The last time I did that, she actually looked for me. By the end of our time together, she was a little more up beat, very little. The bottom line is that she needs out of there quick. In her state I doubt she will adjust, she just needs to be adopted, that's the only way she'll truly get over her depression.

Cafe - A709536 - Pit Bull





Cafe is an 8 month old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/18/07.

Cafe is a very mellow dog for 8 months old. This must be because she is not feeling well. She has the runs :( Most of the time she spent laying down enjoying the sun. She's good around other dogs as well, and of course, loves to be petted :)

Colorado - A709461 - Pit Bull







Colorado is a 1 year old Pit Bull Mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/17/07.

What a wonderful dog Colorado is! He loves us Humans :) He greets everyone with lots of kisses and hugs, yes a hug. He has such a cheerful disposition, but aren't all pit bulls who are raised properly?? They are such goofy loving dogs :) He is also good around other dogs. Very playful...

Lexus - A709191 - Pit Bull Mix






Lexus is a 1 year old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/16/07.

Lexus is a playful little gal. There were a lot of volunteers there today, hence a lot of dogs, so she was excited. She wanted to play and play and play! She's a good girl. She knows how to sit and she listens well, this is always a good thing.

Prince/Bullie - A708256 - American Staffordshire Terrier








Prince/Bullie is a 1 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/10/07.

Prince is beautiful. He reminded me of my Max :) He was a little fearful in his cage. As we walked around the roof he began to warm up to me. It took him a while though. Turns out he's a loving soul and I am so glad to have met him. He loved when I petted his belly, and when I petted underneath his neck he rested firmly against my legs. What a charmer. I didn't want to put him back but....

When I was leaving the shelter I passed by his cage and didn't find any of his paperwork. I fear the worst but am hoping for the best!

Mayla - A576155 - Labrador Pit Mix








Mayla is a 3 year old Labrador and Pit Mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/11/07.

Mayla is such a beautiful dog. When I first met Mayla she was growling at me in her cage with tail between her legs. She even managed to show a few teeth, so I pulled a Cesar. I put my back to the cage and let her sniff me. She stood up and sniffed, still shaking. Then I turned around and she rubbed her body against the cage for me to touch her. She then put her head against the bars, I put my hands through and massaged her, and kissed her forehead.

It's such a shame what these dogs go through. She came from a well-balanced home, was obviously well taken care of and in great health. But her owners had to give her up because their landlord did not want the dog in the building anymore. Now because of this, who knows what will happen to her. Such a fine dog....

Mayla obviously gets along with other dogs. She was flirting with Brooklyn below. She did the play bow and then laid down, patiently waiting for him to come closer. It was amazing to watch. Us ladies can learn a thing or two from Mayla :) Unfortunately, we couldn't let them get too close. Those are the rules at the shelter.

Brooklyn - A706837 - Pit Bull Mix






Brooklyn is a 1 year and 6 month old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/9/07.

Brooklyn is a dream. Us volunteers loved spending time with him. He loves to love! I think he has some german shepherd in him. The hair and coloring seem more german shepherd than pit.

Anyway, Brooklyn is also okay with other dogs. He and Mayla (above) were eyeing each other the whole time. More her than him, he was playing hard to get. Check out the pics above.

Amber - A708188 - Pit Bull Mix




Amber is a 1 year old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/10/07.

Amber is one energetic lady. She was so calm in the cage, but when she came out, she was all over the place. She loves to play also, she likes to tug at the leash. I was only able to get one shot of her because she was too hyper. She didn't sit still!

Amber needs out. Once in a safe and loving home, she will be more at ease and calmer. She needs an owner who will take the time to make her feel comfortable.

Ruby is a 3 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 5/6/07.

Ruby is a great dog, she's big and healthy. She just had pups. No comment....

Ruby walks very well on the leash and enjoys being cuddled and loved :) She is okay around other dogs. I believe she went into a foster home today, which is such great news! so if you're interested let me know and I'll find out exactly where she is...

Archer is a 1 year and 1 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 5/2/07.

Archer is such a beautiful dog. He was hanging out with one of the other volunteers, so of course I had to say hi.
