About ru: Hello, my name is Ru. My animal id is #248786. I am a male black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 3 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 3/3/2026.
Ru is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Ru arrived at the Care Center as a stray with limited history. It was reported Ru was found in a home with another dog, abandoned for several days without food or water. Both dogs were found with several bite wounds. During intake and handling assessment, Ru allowed all contact, was social with staff, and was treat motivated. Ru has not acclimated to the shelter environment well. Ru has begun consistently leash biting when handlers attempt to remove him from kennel and been observed to persistently bite kennel bars. Outside of kennel Ru remains social with staff, treat receptive, and walks well on leash. Medically, Ru is noted to have bite wounds that are healing, is underweight, and recently recovered from CIRDC.
