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.

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.

Annie - A730631 - Pit Bull

Annie is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/22/07.

Annie is an incredible little dog. She jumped and whined in her cage for attention and of course I had to take her out. She is so cute. She walked so easily by my side and when I let go of the leash she ran for it. She galloped and spun around and jumped for joy. She was FREE!

I played ball with her. I threw it in the air and she jumped and caught it. She would bring it back and put it down. When I would try and take it she would hit it with her paw. There was no aggression. She wanted me to take it so I could throw it again.

When I went to wash the ball with the hose she would try and drink the water. It would splash her and she would perk her ears with curiousity.

She's amazing and is looking for her forever home.

Ramona - A728698 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Ramona is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/10/07.

Ramona is beautiful!!!! I absolutely loved this dog. Of course, she pulled me for a while but eventually we got into a pack mode and walked together. She befriended one of the staff members while on our journey. She loves to chew on things. She practically ate the arm of the wooden chair and then she started on the table.

After a while I let go of the leash and she was as free as a bird. She galloped and soared and jumped and played. She followed my every move. What a wonderful pittie! It was very difficult to put her back but....

Dora - A717244 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Dora is a 10 month old American Staffordshire Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 9/15/07.

Dora was surrendered by her owners because they said she needs puppy training. WHAT!!!!! YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE YOU GOT HER??? WHY IS THIS A SURPRISE TO YOU???? PUPPIES NEED TRAINING!!!! DUH!!

Anyway, that felt good! When I approached Dora's cage she growled at me. She wouldn't stop, so I bent down and gave her my back to sniff. How easy that was. After she sniffed and came to the conclusion I was trustworthy, she was my best friend. It was very easy for me to take her out and for a walk. She is a puller though. BUT she listens. Several times, I just stopped and pulled her back towards me to wait and she did. Eventually she got the hint and walked by my side. She's adorable. All it takes is a little patience.

Pete - A726800 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Pete is a 1 year old American Staffordshire Terrier Mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/28/07.

Pete was also very sick. He threw up as well. He just laid in his cage not wanting to be bothered. But I figured he could use some fresh air so I took him out.

He was no trouble at all. Right out of the cage he was walking by my side. After a few laps around the roof he was feeling better. We rested some and he laid down to relax. The flies were bothering him though, so he didn't get as much rest as he wanted :)

Pete is looking for a safe and loving home.

Trixie - A722849 - German Shepherd Mix

Trixie is a 7 month old german shepherd mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/7/07.

Trixie was the last puppy I took out. I was about to leave and she kept barking and barking and barking. I had to take her, and I am so glad I did. What a beautiful little girl. She walked by my side with no problems. She was a little skiddish when she heard a loud bang but she's still probably trying to get use to her surroundings.

This little girl is a gem!!

Coco - A722066 - German Shepherd Mix

Coco is a one year old german shepherd mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/2/07.

Coco was sooooooo easy to be with. The minute I got her out of the cage she stood by my side and waited for me to walk. Thank goodness!! What a pleasure. Coco is very docile and calm. She likes to keep going though. When I would sit down, she would wait there looking at me as if to say, "Whenever you're ready...today would be nice." ha, ha!!

Georgia - A722723 - Labrador / German Shepherd Mix

Georgia is an eight month old labrador / german shepherd mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/7/07.

Boy, what an energetic little pup. The minute I took her out she ran for dear life. Wow!!! When we got outside, she kept going. You know, if it were just a little bit cooler I wouldn't have minded so much, but in 85 degree weather???? Anyway, I still enjoyed myself. Eventually, and I mean eventually, she calmed down. When she did get all that pinned up energy out, she was much calmer and walked somewhat by my side. What a sweetie!!

Georgia is looking for her forever home!

Rusty - A722162 - Pit Bull

Rusty is an eight month old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/3/07.

Rusty is so cute. One of her ears points up, and the other points down. She is a precious playful little pittie. She gave me a run for my money. Well... you know what I mean. Have you ever been with a pittie and they just want to run? It's like they're galloping like a horse. Rusty was like that today. I wish I could've let her off leash. We both would've been better off. I could rest from the heat, and she could run her butt off without hauling me behind. Ha, ha..

What a pleasure!!!
