03/28/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/28/16 18:21 Cane is a young male APBT mix. He was found at a gas station. His finder reports that he was nervous but allowed him to put a leash on him. He lured him into the car with food. He kept him in a yard for 3 days. He reports that he sometimes spent time alone and sometimes approached him and stayed with him while he pet him. Cane was barking (deep) in the lobby. He often barked. In Admissions, he had a wagging tail, was moving around a lot, and often barked (deep) and lunged at us, including when we walked into the room or approached him with the scanner. When close enough, he jumped up on me with his paws while barking before landing back on the floor and continuing barking. He allowed his finders to pet him. Outside, he had a loose, wiggly body and played fetch and tug with them (on leash). He continued to bark and lunge at me when I approached, but allowed me to take his pictures. He approached another staff member whom was sitting and talking with a quiet volume to him and wagged his tail, soft bodied, while he pet him.

04/10/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: It took me a few “sessions” with Cane as well as observing him playing with another volunteer to understand him better. Cane is a magnificent and grand dog said to be part Great Dane. He is tall, healthy looking , so well built and clad in a gorgeous silvery coat with elegant markings. Cane is a bit uneasy at the care center but he is getting better as he is taken out for walks and play time quite often. He often takes refuge in his caretaker’s arms or comes on the bench for hugs and kisses. He really loves to be caressed and scratched on the head and the butt. Cane pulls on the leash and does his business on the way with some marking involved. He can sit on command and takes treats quite politely from the hand. He enjoys running and jumping after a ball and does not mind sharing it. Cane is a bit wary of other dogs, although even this has been getting better as he seems more comfortable at the care center. He offers a soft growl when another pooch comes too close, and just runs back to his caretaker. We certainly need to see a little bit more of Cane. He is quite a masterpiece who I bet would love a new human to belong to and a home to call his own. Cane is at the Manhattan Care Center, dreaming to meet you. Another volunteer writes/updates: Meet Cane, the next cover model for Doggie GQ! He’s stunning in his two tone silver coat, one ear up, one ear down, long elegant legs, and even when he’s serious he’s smiling. And when he really smiles his whole face lights up!! Likely housetrained and with lovely leash manners, Cane is easy to be with, happy to snuggle and give kisses, hopping into a lap for the best cuddles. Playing ball in the yard, or simply snuggling, Cane is easy, gentle and fun to spend time with. With his laughing, intelligent eyes, easy tail wag and sweet smile he’s a dog that once you meet, you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with. Don’t believe me? Come meet him and see for yourself!

03/31/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Cane pulls a bit on the leash. He was a bit shy when he meets the assessor but warm up quickly. During the assessment Cane was sociable – soft body, wagging tail, open mouth. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Cane followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a calm and relaxed body language when playing tag. He was not interested in toys The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Cane is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. He has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction with other dogs during Playgroup. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Cane is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, wagging tail, open mouth. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Playgroup Notes: Cane is fearful in the yard and is slow to approach the gate to greet the female helper dog; offering a lip curl when they finally come nose-to-nose. When the door is opened Cane runs away and hides behind handlers legs to avoid interaction. Eventually he offers a small lip curl again with repeated approach then stays near the corner, only approaching handlers again once the helper dog has been moved out of the pen.

03/29/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Cane has been fearful interacting with dogs throughout his stay here. He was initially defensive and has warmed up where he has a relaxed body posture and will readily approach the helper dogs. He still is not comfortable enough to engage in play but has solicited with polite dogs. Cane arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing Cane into a home with other dogs as well as allowing him time to acclimate to his surroundings before introducing him to any resident dogs. Cane is fearful in the yard and is slow to approach the gate to greet the female helper dog; offering a lip curl when they finally come nose-to-nose. When the door is opened Cane runs away and hides behind handlers legs to avoid interaction. Eventually he offers a small lip curl again with repeated approach then stays near the corner, only approaching handlers again once the helper dog has been moved out of the pen. 3/30 update: Cane avoids interaction and runs away with tail tucked. He raises his lip when approached. 4/5 update: Cane is nervous, but sniffs the other dog when they turn away. He attempts to solicit but begins to muzzle punch and vocalize when conflicted. 4/6 update: Cane barks defensively through the barrier fence. When allowed inside, he sniffs the other dog briefly then keeps to self. 4/7 update: Cane is uncomfortable initially, only once does he attempt to solicit.
