Story
🐾 Meet Nougat! 🐾Brought to ACC via NYPD after being surrendered to a precinctNougat, a handsome 2-year-old Boxer mix, was dropped off at the 41st Precinct and brought safely to ACC. While we don't know much about his past, we've gotten to know Nougat as a gentle dog working hard to adjust to the shelter environment and open his heart to new people.🏡 My Ideal HomeNougat would do best in a calm, adult home or a household with older teens where he can settle in at his own pace. He'll benefit from a patient, dog-savvy adopter who can give him structure, slow introductions, and the space to gain confidence. He may enjoy quiet walks, a predictable routine, and time to build trust - especially if treats are involved!👶 Good with Kids?Nougat is recommended for a home without children under 5. While he can be affectionate, he has shown some fear-based behaviors and needs gentle, respectful interactions from people who can read his cues.🐕 Good with Other Dogs?Nougat has shown some tension and growling when meeting other dogs at the shelter gate, so a solo-dog home may be the best fit for now. Adopters with another dog will need to do slow introductions under guidance to ensure a good match.🦮 Leash MannersNougat walks well on a leash overall, though he may pull to sniff or explore new scents. He checks in with his handler regularly and has shown responsiveness to commands like "sit" and "wait." With continued positive reinforcement, he'll be a lovely walking companion.🩺 Overall HealthNougat is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, and has been microchipped. He was recently treated for kennel cough (CIRDC) and has responded well to antibiotics. He's also on medication to help ease his anxiety in the shelter setting.📊 Behavior Determination: Level 2Nougat is gentle but needs time to decompress and feel safe in new surroundings. He may be fearful or aloof at first, but given the chance to come around on his own terms, he becomes affectionate and enjoys pets and praise. Force-free, reward-based training is highly recommended.🎉 One Fun FactNougat has a signature "slow tail wag" that he saves for moments of connection - it's his quiet way of saying, "I think I like you."💸 Adoption Fee: $75Includes neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip.Nougat is ready to leave the stress of shelter life behind and start fresh in a safe, loving home. Could it be with you? Visit him today at Manhattan ACC! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 61 Age: 2yrs 0mths 4wks
