About rihanna: Hello, my name is Rihanna. My animal id is #176319. I am a female silver dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years 7 months 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 12/6/2024, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving - no pets allowed.
Rihanna is at risk due to behavior reasons. Rihanna has displayed handling/touch sensitivity, high levels of anxiety, and on leash-reactivity in the care centers. She was noted to bark and growl when restrained, as well as on the street when spotting people and other dogs, she pulls towards them. This behavior is not easily redirectable. While being removed from kennel, she has been reported to kennel fight. Rihanna does have a bite history, where another dog charged towards her and a fight broke out but where able to be separated, resulting in a gash on the right ear of the other dog. With handlers, Rihanna remains aloof, not responsive unless she is pet along her backside. She wags her tail briefly but does not approach or seek further interaction. Medically, Rihanna has a mass on. her tail, chronic otitis, and periodontal disease.
