06/19/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I guess a pooch named Rebel could make you wonder what kind of pet he might be…mostly that he was understandably a bit upset when his family left him at the care center. What I see in front of me is “Old Yeller”, a very handsome, well kept, healthy and well-mannered middle-aged dog. Rebel has a beautiful face, intelligent and gentle eyes. He gets up right away from his bed, sits at his door as I order and gets leashed uneventfully. He is strong, pulls, and does his business without much marking (we are told that he is fully house trained). Although he does not play with the tennis balls or the toys, Rebel so enjoys his time in the yard. He explores calmly, his feet slightly bouncing on the soft grass, his tail wagging non stop. He is very obedient, comes at once when called, sits on command, treats or no treats, and absolutely loves to be petted. As I sit on a bench, he settles next to me (sometimes with his tush on my feet), clearly awaiting caresses. He does give paw(I could not capture this with my camera) and rolls on his side for belly rubs. Yep, even majestic dogs lose it and behave like silly puppies. Rebel did not mind few other dogs roaming in the adjacent pens and he was welcoming of another volunteer visiting us. Rebel was born at home and gave his family, including a child, many wonderful years. We are told that he was a very well behaved pet with no handling issues and who loved baths. He did not live with other dogs or cats and was at first a little wary of new comers to his house. I heard a lot of great comments about Rebel from staff and other volunteers and I can only chime in with them and quite loud. He seems like an awesome dog who is so worth to get to know and may be adopt as a new member of your house. Rebel is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

This incident was reported to have occurred five years ago, and no further information was supplied. Future caretakers of Rebel should take his history into consideration, and any future introductions should be conducted to polite dogs at a slow pace.

ENERGY LEVEL: His owner reports Rebel as having a high level of activity, in the care center Rebel displays as calm and affectionate with a low to medium level of energy.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Due to Rebel’s owner reporting that he has bitten someone, we recommend an adult only home as a precaution. This bite is reported to have not broken skin and the circumstances in which the bite occurred, or how long ago the bite occurred, are unknown. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Rebel’s previous owner reported that he will bark at strangers and that he has bitten a person, not breaking skin, the circumstances of the bite are not known. Upon intake, Rebel growled and snap at the counselor. Since then he was been social with handlers and easily handled. Under stressful interactions, Rebel may growl or snap. Adopters should be aware of this potential behavior and exercise caution with Rebel when he is stressed. It is important to make sure Rebel stays under threshold and is not pushed to escalate further to a bite. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used when exposing Rebel to new people or things. Rebel should never be forced to greet or approach anyone or thing he is not comdortable with.
