A volunteer writes: Chocolate marble cake never looked so good! Sweet Shakka is 8 years young and full of fun, and watching his gorgeous smile emerge from its somber slumber was the highlight of my day. Hes quiet and well behaved in his den and enthusiastic and seemingly very house trained on leash, but theres only one way to guarantee a glimpse of his happiest grin set him free in a pen, toss in a couple of balls and he will take care of the rest! Shakka loves tennis balls like Tom Hanks loved Wilson, and once they are in play he never loses sight of his little round BFFs. When I call him over to the bench, he comes halfway, then realizes I might be conspiring to take the ball back, and instead retires to a corner where he can quietly entertain himself by kicking it back and forth, picking it up again for a game of keep away or just standing beside his prized possession, looking like the handsome, hunky jock he is. Shakka already knows how to sit on command and catch treats mid air, he is not fussed over petting while he?s communing with his toys, and hes happy to let me join in the action with a few kicks and throws of my own. So long as I don?t take a ball that?s right in front of him before tossing another to chase, we can keep the game going for hours! Described by his former family as friendly, relaxed and respectful toward everyone he meets, Shakka would make a great addition to your home team. Recruit him at our Manhattan Care Center today!
