02/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: New York is the city that never sleeps, and one of the biggest and most beautiful. What a fitting name then for our very own City within the city. Handsome and strong at 68 lbs, City easily makes his presence known from within his kennel, but a pair of warm, inviting, brown-green eyes prevent him from being at all imposing. He is easily leashed, and we’re off on our walk! Or almost. On our way out the door we’re stopped by one, then two, staff members. “CITY!!!” they exclaim and numerous pets are given. This boy is a favorite already. Once we’re outside I begin to see why. City does his “business” right away then starts to explore his surroundings. Dogs, squirrels, birds — they don’t interest him much, but he is a quick walker with places to be, and needs you to keep up! We take a quick break on a bench, and that’s when I learn just how City views himself: as a 15 lb. lap dog! I’ve no sooner taken a seat when I BECOME the seat and am covered in sloppy kisses, each given with loud, adorable grunts. Homeward-bound school children stop to giggle at the sight, but City’s too engrossed to care. City is a handsome lad who’s clearly been cared for by someone, and has cared for someone. The shelter is only a passing phase. Don’t miss your chance to take a piece of the Big Apple home with you. City is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s Animal Care Center.

02/23/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
City has frequently displayed anxious behavior while out in the yard. He offers brief greeting to female dogs and has once engaged in bouts of play. City has only once been introduced to a male dog, and while he was tense-bodied during greeting, he was avoidant of interaction as opposed to pursuing anything further. City arrived into our care with a female dog, and his previous owner cites that “the two are very playful and loving with each other”. Based on observation made on City while in our care, the behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction for City, as well as allowing him time to decompress in a home environment before introducing to resident dogs. When off leash with other dogs, City ignores greeting and solicits handler attention. He is a bit anxious and begins to bark and pace the yard. 2/25 update: City continues to display anxious behavior in the yard, but briefly offers polite greeting before pacing and whining. 2/26 update: City is anxious and distracted by dogs playing in an adjacent yard. He briefly greets and does attempt to mount a female that is in heat. 2/27 update: City greets politely, but again is distracted by dogs playing in an adjacent yard. He begins whining and seeking exit. 3/1 update: City is a bit tense with a male when greeting, but then avoids him. He becomes briefly playful with a solicitous female. 3/2 update: City greets politely but mostly keeps to himself.
