About duckie: Hello, my name is Duckie. My animal id is #249655. I am a male brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 months 3 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 3/14/2026.
Duckie is at risk for medical and behavioral reasons. Initially when Duckie arrived in the care center he was observed to balk on leash and require coaxing. Recently Duckie has been observed to quickly escalate to growling, snapping, and hard barking when the handler accidentally touched him. Duckie is also observed to hard bark and lip curl at handlers when they approach to give him enrichment. While on leash, Duckie will jump up high and bite the leash. This behavior is not easily redirected. With familiar handlers Duckie is noted to be comfortable roaming freely with them in office space. Duckie with a loose body, wagging tail and seeks contact from the staff. Medically, Duckie has unspecified dermatitis and minimally displaced radial/ulnar fractures of his left forelimb that are healing with cage rest but he still has some lameness in the left front limb.
