Cannoli
Hello, my name is Cannoli. My animal id is #20737. I am a male white dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Feb-2018.
Cannoli is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Cannoli, whom we believe would be suitable for most homes.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Wearing the most perfect ginger-brindle eye patch, a spotless white coat and a winning smile, Cannoli looks like a playful pirate out to steal your heart…and he is! I fell for his gorgeous face from the get-go, but he’s sweet on the inside too, eager to socialize and easy to handle, friendly toward fellow dogs and very smart and responsive when he wants to be. Squeaky toys and sniffing stuff are Cannoli’s two favorite hobbies, and he devotes himself to them with a passion, exploring the neighborhood with his nose to the ground or focusing like a laser on the sound of his toy. He sits politely for treats, too, though mine are apparently not to his taste! A good leash walker who doesn’t pull, he makes plenty of pit stops for sniffing and potty time along the way, and off leash he’s soft, smooshable and always ready to play. Cannoli is just as delicious as his namesake, and with his excellent behavior evaluation he’d fit into any active home with ease. Ask to meet this handsome hunk at our Manhattan Care Center and get ready to fall in love!

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
The dog was friendly, allowing all handling. He was whining until we took him from the police
Date of intake:: 2/14/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Date of assessment:: 2/15/2018
Look:: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag:: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends (may need coaxing to approach). Dog is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.
Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Flank squeeze 1:: Item not conducted
Flank squeeze 2:: Item not conducted
Toy:: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.
Summary:: In the assessment room, Cannoli was very focused on sniffing around the room. He approached the assessor when coaxed, but was mostly aloof, focusing on sniffing thing. He had a soft body throughout the assessment, allowed all handling, and displayed no concerning behaviors.
Summary:: Cannoli has displayed minimal interest in greeting female dogs in the care center, though has begun to display some interest in play. Future introductions should be conducted at a slow pace to respectful female dogs. Behavior around male dogs is unknown at this time.
Summary (1):: 2/15: When introduced off leash to dogs, Cannoli is initially slightly tense when approached. Once given time to sniff, he softens slightly then wanders off.
Summary (2):: 2/16: Cannoli is slightly tense when approaching the female dog, then softens when greeting. When the female runs away from him he becomes slightly stiff again, following, but softens when he reaches her. This repeats until he is removed from the pen.
Summary (3):: 2/17: Cannoli is slightly tense on approach again then softens with greeting and offers a tail wag. When solicited with play he appears conflicted and will chase when the female dog runs.
Date of intake:: 2/14/2018
Summary:: Cannoli was social and allowed handling.
Date of initial:: 2/14/2018
Summary:: Cannoli was tense but allowed all handling.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Cannoli so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar: H – Healthy
