About couch surfer: Hello, my name is Couch Surfer. My animal id is #251916. I am a male brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 1 months 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 4/12/2026.
Couch Surfer is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Couch Surfer arrived as a stray. Upon arrival he was exuberantly social with staff; this was also noted during his handling assessment. Unfortunately, Couch Surfer has shown increased barrier frustration making it difficult to handle him safely. When being returned to kennel Couch Surfer has been observed to attempt to bite the kennel lock when handlers are securing his kennel. In one instance he caught the hand of a staff member leaving a small wound in their finger. When outside of the shelter environment Couch Surfer remains social with staff, often soliciting contact and is treat receptive. Medically, Couch Surfer is apparently healthy.
