Foster needed to pull Blacky from NYC shelter... apply at pmarinc.org *** IN BLACKYS WORLD HAVING THREE LEGS DOES NOT MEAN DISABLED*** In the words of a shelter volunteer, Blacky is a handsome and one of a kind dog. He waits calmly in his arrival kennel but as soon as he sees me idling in front of his door, his eyes are all on me. Blacky is leashed easily. I discover with surprise that he owns only 3 legs. No time to think about the matter...Blacky shows me right away that he can walk well, run and climb stairs just the way he is. He is a pooch with a strong spirit ! In the yard, we are met by a staff member who knows him well. Blacky wags his tail and right away goes to her for caresses. He looks like a very affectionate dog. He is good on the leash, pulls a little at times and eliminates on the way. Free in a pen, he roams around. I can see that he is a bit stressed. Blacky might be middle aged but he is a strong dog and does not belong kept in a kennel. Too many changes also have recently affected his life and he does not know where he belongs to anymore...Blacky settles down eventually, takes a treat and sits by my side, very peacefully. He comes to my lap, asking for comfort and hugs. He kisses my face profusely...Blacky is well nourished and healthy looking. He knows his ways around people and is a very sociable dog. Blacky was given away by his long time owner to a frend who could not keep him. Blacky, although friendly with his new masters pets (dogs and small critters) had difficulties to integrate to the pack for a host of reasons..his personality, his age, his disability...Who knows really...? What we know is that Blacky is homeless and familyless now. He is quite an endearing and friendly guy who would make a solid, loving and faithful companion, given a chance...Blacky is at the Manhattan shelter.
