Urgent Animals at the Irving Animal Shelter added 4 new photos to the album *CODE ORANGE*LIKELY TO BE CODE RED* WEEK OF 12/11*.
The shelter staff think I am about 2 years old.
I weigh 59 pounds.
I was found in NY 10301.
I have been at the shelter since Nov 01, 2012.
A volunteer wrote: While pulling strongly on leash, Chance nevertheless seems like he may have had some leash training—at times, walking a little more loosely on the leash and at other times he seemed to readily follow his impulses. For example: when he's 10 feet away from a tree, he telegraphed his intentions to sniff it by pulling very strongly on the leash to quickly get to it. I'm cool with walking a strong dog, but noted that he was pulling me around a little, navigating in the hallway. Also, Chance was a bit jumpy to greet or get at treats. Overall, he seemed fairly comfortable and happy, but due to his energy and strength, he probably belongs in that "experienced" category. Another volunteer who has also spent time with Chance has called him "sweet and gentle."
And, he definitely had a likable, approachable quality. I always made sure to give him treats when I saw him after first meeting.

For more information on adopting please read the following:
https://www.facebook.com/
DO NOT call the shelter and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed.
For more information on a particular dog, email adoption@nycacc.org but ONLY if serious about adopting, and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go un-noticed. Contact the NYC ACC at (212) 788-4000 for further automated instructions.
