08/20/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Bear is really a beautiful young dog. This sentence is so plain but so true…. He is gorgeous, well made, healthy, the perfect weight and most attractive. Still, he was found as a stray, so we do not know too much about him. All what we have on our plate, right now, is a youngster we have to find a caring and loving home for…Bear is a “good “puppy, full of life and who loves to play with people and with dogs. He can be a little shy at first then, he will go all the way…He walks quite well on the leash, does not grab it and occasionally mouths very slightly. He can sit on command, takes treats nicely and does not mind at all the eye of my camera. He does not seem used to a lap but definitively did learn and ended up smooching on the side walk with me. Like ANY puppy, Bear needs love, care, training, time and commitment on the part of his new owners. This is the only way to grow into a balanced adult dog, a pet one will want for life. Come and meet Bear at the Manhattan Care Center. He so want to start his life again with you.

08/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bear pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up, mouthy (light). He was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. Bear followed the assessor at the end of the leash with calm and relaxed body but at the end of the game grab at the leash but was not difficult to distract him. He took the toy with a soft body language. Bear is an active dog who requires a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. The behavior department feels that he can go to an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification, force-free based training is recommended. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. His body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, ears back, jumpy, grabbing at the leash at the end of the game and was not difficult to distract him. Squeeze 1/2: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Dog-to-dog: Bear arrived as a stray into our care, so any history around other dogs is unknown. Bear is cautious during greeting, however quickly becomes comfortable and begins to engage in exuberant, off leash play. He displays slight sexually motivated behavior, however it should be taken into consideration that Bear is currently unaltered. The behavior department feels that pending a pre-adoptioninteraction and slow, gradual introductions, Bear may potentially go into a home with another social dog.
