Beautiful affectionate amstaff Pear needs forever home in Manhattan, New York

A volunteer writes: Pear came to us with Pepper, brought by a good samaritan who found both dogs roaming loose in her building. Pear is a real gem, a black pearl, dressed in a shiny and well groomed ebony coat. Her sparkling brown eyes, all on me, give her the most tender look and send the message. . .I am all yours. . .. She has been very well cared for and seems very much like a good family dog who got out of luck. She walks beautifully on the leash, her kennel is spotless and she eliminates as soon as we leave the building. Pear comes right away when called (even though it is not her real name), sits on command or on her very own, when she sees me with a treat. She is a wonderful lap dog, spreading lavishly over my legs, her head against my chest, like I have been her mama for all those years. Pear is a very sweet dog. It does not come as a surprise that she aced her behavioral evaluation at the care center, getting the highest possible score. . . Now, Pear who is at the Manhattan Care Center, needs a home, sweet home and a family or master to love and be cherished by. Do not deprive yourself any longer from a wonderful friend..Come and get her soon, make her yours, take her home.
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Pear is not interested in some dogs but will have brief play bouts with others and will offer correction when necessary.
