Gragy - A700421 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Gragy is an American Pit Bull Terrier, he has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 3/16/07. He is 1 years old.

In the beginning Gragy pulled me alot, and I couldn't have that, because it was freakin' slippery out on the roof, so I brought him inside and walked him really fast. I let him get use to me leading and him following, it took a bit, but patience always pays off :)

When I took him outside, oh how sweet it was :) He walked right next to them, I was pleased. I did notice that when I sat down for a rest, he got upset. He would bark and then throw his front paws on the ground, you know, that playing stance ?? Yeah that's it! He wanted me to get up and move my butt or maybe he was being dominant?? Oh well, nonetheless, he listened to me and didn't pull so I was grateful.

Gragy is waiting for his forever home and would make a great companion :)

Pineiro - A700025 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Pineiro is an American Pit Bull Terrier and is only 8 months old. He has been at the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC since 3/14/07.

Pineiro has lots of energy. When you ask him to sit, he will give you one more, he will lay down :) He walks well on the leash, but I decided to let him go. And when I did, boy can he run fast. When I asked him to come to me, he did. He would run towards me, but stop before he plunged into me... thank goodness :)

You'll notice 2 shots of him laying down, I did not ask him to do that. After he laid down several times on his own, I realized that that is his way of protesting. If he didn't want to keep walking or go around a particular obstacle, he would stop, and lay down. With a little prodding I eventually got him up :)

All in all, Pineiro is a pleasure to me around. When we stopped he kissed and cuddled. Great dog, excellent listener. Will be easy to train :0

Nay Nay - A699332 - Pit Bull Mix

Nay Nay is a 2 year and 6 month old Pit Bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC since 3/9/07.

Nay Nay is a beautiful little girl. She will probably put on a few pounds once she finds her forever home. She just had pups. It always drives me batty when people use these dogs to breed then discard them :( The sad thing is that only 1 in 10 pups ever finds a forever home. So what happens to the other 9.... Need I say.... ??

Nay Nay walks well on the leash. She knows how to sit and she listens. She would definitely make a great companion.

Jerry - Pit Bull

Jerry is absolutely beautiful. This is note from Sandi about Jerry. If you are interested in him, please contact her.

---Jerry is a neutered, vaccinated 1 1/2 year old male. He is full grown at 40 lbs. He LOVES to cuddle and kiss. He also gets along well with other dogs and is eager to fall into a routine once and for all! He has been shipped from the streets to the shelter to a bad home, and back to the shelter. He is now in a vet kennel. He wants nothing but a chance, and he certainly deserves it, as he is eager to impress. He has some pup energy, but it seems he just wants to play frisbee, who could blame him for that? Overall, he is a very CALM easy going dog, who just wants to relax and sit on your lap. Call Sandi, 718 502 5346, to adopt, and feel free to repost everywhere and anywhere. i cant tell if he is housetrained yet, but he is easy to train, and is at least partly house trained. HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO SIT (for treats that is :-)---

Thank you :-D

EverGreen - A696774 - Pit Bull Mix

EverGreen is a 2 year and 7 month old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC since 2/19/07.

I helped out at an adoption event that was held in Soho this past weekend. The weather was amazing. We were able to adopt out one dog, a cocker spaniel. Yeah :)

I volunteered to be EverGreen's guardian. Boy, what an amazing dog!! First off, she has an incredible amount of energy. She was so happy to get out of that cage, she just wanted to fly. She is, by far, one of the strongest dogs I have met. She literally dragged me. I don't blame her at all. She's been in a cage too long. She desparately needs a home. Once she finds a home she will definitely calm down :)

Anyway, despite the fact that she wanted to jet.. she loves people, children included, and loves, and I mean LOVES, belly rubs. She'll just lay down, expose her belly and expect a rub!! She won the heart of one gentlemen who past by. They played together for about a good 20 mins or so. It was beautiful to watch. He already had two dogs in his apartment so he couldn't take her, but he was so touched by her that he offered to help find her a home. Let's hope he can.

EverGreen will do much better in a home as an only dog. She doesn't tolerate "some" dogs very well. The reason I say "some" dogs is because she didn't bark at every single dog. When certain dogs would pass by she would bark at them, but when I nudged her to stop, she did. She listens very well. She just needs to be taught that she doesn't have to bark at other dogs. She can simply let them pass. If I had her long enough I think she would eventually be okay because she started to respond. It's just a matter of telling her a new way to be. The good thing is that she listens. She knows how to sit and loves taking treats... and treats .... and more treats :)

EverGreen is a fabulous dog who has a lot of love and loyalty to share. She needs a strong leader and role model who can handle her strength and who can give her as many belly rubs as she wants :)

Valentine - A696320 - Boxer/American Staffordshire Mix

Valentine is a boxer / american staffordshire mix. He is 1 year old and has been at the Animal Care and Control Center since 2/26/07.

He is tan and white. Mostly tan with white marking between his nose. Sorry no pic of this beauty.

Valentine is an extremely playful and energetic pup. He is okay on the leash. He needs some work but he is still young, so it will be easy to train him. He loves beef jerky treats. It's a good thing he did love them because for some reason he did not like passing a certain door nor turn a certain corner. In order for me to get him to move I had to lure him towards me with a treat. It worked :)

Valentine is wonderful and needs a safe and loving home.

Brownie - A698353 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Brownie is an American Staffordshire Terrier. He is 1 year and 6 months old and has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 3/2/07.

Brownie is a wonderful dog. He walks well on the leash and enjoys being hugged and kissed. I noticed that he is very submissive, and a bit hesitant while outdoors. He carries his head low and his tail between his legs. This could be because he is still new to the shelter and still getting to know his surroundings. When I took him inside and walked around he was the opposite. He was upbeat with head and tail up.

Brownie was a joy to be around today and desparately wants a new home.

Morris - A698177 - Pit Bull

Camera is broken :(

Morris is a 2 year old pit bull. She is a female despite her name. She has been at the Animal Care and Control Center since 3/1/07.

Morris was obviously starved. Her spine and ribs are very noticable. What a shame and still she has love for humans. Morris walked well on the leash. She did not pull at all. When I sat down she put her front paws on my lap as I pet and hugged her. I could feel every bone in her body.I was afraid to hold her too tight.

Morris is amazing and needs a home where she will be loved completely.

Excuse the photo. My camera is shot :(

Freddy was a pleasure to walk. He stood by my side the whole time. He seems a bit on the serious side. When I sat down, he immediately sat by my side. He did shake a lot. I thought it was because it was cold outside but then when I took him inside he still was shaking.

Freddy is a calm dog and needs a wonderful home.

It was a pleasure taking Reeses out today. She knows how to sit and loves beef jerky treats. I let the leash go and let her run around. She's fast. She would run ahead of me and then stop and wait for me to follow. I think she thought she was the leader... she's probably right :)

Clutch - A696483 - Pit Bull

Clutch is a Pit Bull. He is 3 years old and has been at the Animal Care & Control Center since 2/15/07. He is neutered :)

For a 3 year old, Clutch still has the energy of a pup. He loves to play. He walks well on the leash after a while. It took him some time to get use to me. When he saw another dog, he did bark and growl a little, but I don't believe it's because he's aggressive towards other dogs. There must have been something about that dog, maybe he wasn't neutered. I have found that neutered dogs don't like un-neutered dogs. Also, when he passed cages of other dogs he didn't become aggressive, he sniffed instead.

Clutch is a good listener and enjoys being petted.

Anyway, Magic is good around other dogs. He actually doesn't pay any mind to them when their around. He goes about his business. He's a very focused dog. It was hard for me to get a good shot of him. His nose was glued to the ground :)

Magic is a big dog and very calm.

Lika - A695782 - Pit Bull

Lika is a pit bull and she is 2 years old. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 2/10/07.

Lika was so quiet in her cage, but when I took her out she was extremely hyper and energetic. I took her on the roof outside, but since there were other dogs out there I couldn't give her as much exercise as she needed, so I decided to take her inside. We walked the floor which is laid out like a circle. I tired her out as well as myself :) Once we did that she was happy to walk by my side and not pull.

Lika is a great dog and is looking for a safe and loving home.
