ROXANNE aka UMI A1044908
A volunteer writes: I met Umi as she was being walked by another volunteer. Such a great pup on the leash and looking so happy and carefree, just like a puppy should be. Umi is adorable in her shiny ebony dress and she is all ears and eyes when she sees a treat and a ball. She is an excellent sitter, obeying my order in a military way. She eliminates in the street or in the yard. Could she be housetrained, or partially? Umi seems to like other dogs met through the fence or during our stroll. I heard that she has a very good time in playgroups with other pooches. Umi is a very pretty and petite young girl, quite friendly and affectionate, good with her own kind and ready to jump into your life as your forever best friend. Just like any puppy, she will need some guidance and training, time and commitment to make of her the best pet you can ever dream of. Umi is at the Manhattan Care Center.

Umi walks calmly on leash. She was calm and relaxed during handling and easily engages in play, body is loose and wiggly, mouth open. Umi ate faster, was stiff and very difficult to push out of the food bowl, but did not growl, snap or bite. She was not interested in rawhide but put body between assessor and toy, showing no growling or stiffness.
