Where it all began almost 2 years ago 💔 When her life had a deadline on it. We saved her then & we need someone to complete her happy ending.
Pink has come so far since then & has proven herself to be deserving of an amazing life! Please come meet our girl, throw her ball, & fall in love! 🌸🐾 https://www.facebook.com/mldsavingnycdogs/photos/a.935411196645151/946169842235953/

Pink has been placed with Pit of Our Souls Rescue. Please honor your pledges https://pitofoursoulsrescue.com/how-to-help/donate/
SOMETIMES IN LIFE we need a second chance to get it right. After all, no one and nothing is perfect. Pink is 3 years old and absolutely adorable. She had a home but recently she was surrendered to the Manhattan shelter. In her old home she was friendly, playful and endearing and she even attempted to play with the cat. So maybe she's even cat friendly! This time around Pink is hoping for a more dedicated and loving family who will help guide and train her instead of giving up on her because she may not be perfect. She is out of time and has been added to the euth list and needs everyone's undivided attention and plenty of shares to get her plight out there. Please help network this cutie for her happy ever after.

Hello, my name is Pink
My animal id is #57144
I am a female red brown dog at the
Manhattan Animal Care Center
The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old, 58 lbs
Came into shelter as a stray Mar. 15, 2019
Pink is at risk for behavioral reasons. Pink has not adjusted well to the care center and has shown sensitivity to touch and handling and has remained fearful. Pink would be best suited for an experienced adopter that can provide a low stress environment as well as gradual behavior modification and reward based training. Medically, Pink has a skin condition which may need follow up vet care.
My medical notes are...
Weight: 58.6 lbs
