03/02/2013 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Named after the street on which she was found, Beck is all wiggles and play. She did a play bow for me in the elevator on the way down to go out and continued her playfulness the entire time we were out walking. "Going" as soon as we were out the door indicates she may be housetrained. As we crossed the street a small feather blew towards us in the wind and Beck chased and played with it as we walked down the street - there was no question in her mind that everything was there for her amusement. She is a gorgeous girl in a well groomed and cared for coat at the perfect weight for her size. She is playful and fun and funny. Beck's tail wags non stop as she surveys the area around her pulling hard towards squirrels and the resident park cats so a home without cats is likely best for her. Beck was a rock star for her photo shoot, showing me that she can take this job very seriously at times wearing her "OK, I'm getting serious now" face. She's a delight! She can get a bit mouthy when playing but does respond to a firm no and settles down. Miss Beck is looking for a family who will appreciate her energy is ready to go on long walks and perhaps toss a ball for her. Meet Beck today.

For more information on adopting please read the following:

DO NOT call the shelter and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed.
For more information on a particular dog, email [email protected] but ONLY if serious about adopting, and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go unnoticed. Contact the NYC ACC at (212) 788-4000 for further automated instructions.
