Clark Kent
Hello, my name is Clark Kent. My animal id is #12415. I am a male gray dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a returns on 14-Dec-2017.
***RETURNED 12/14/17**
Clark Kent is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Clark Ken is suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
Clark Kent is at risk for behavioral reasons. Due to previous bite history, we are seeking placement only with a New Hope partner who can further assess him in a home environment. He will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. Medically, we have no concerns for Clark Kent at this time, who presents as a healthy dog.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: He might not wear tights and a cape, but as far as I’m concerned, this guy is all superhero, all the time! Because, if making people smile isn’t a superpower, what is?! Even if he’s curled up in prep for a nap, just approaching his cage is enough to get his little nub of a tail going. He walks nicely on leash, seems to have housetraining, and seems to be a gentle giant in every way (well, he might have a few pounds to gain yet for the “giant” part!). He loves treats and already knows “sit” and “paw”, likes toys, and has been social with other dogs in our playgroups. He is incredibly affectionate and will crawl into your lap in a way that will make you feel whole again. He is so, soo sweet, and would love the chance to brighten all of your days…please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…

While walking the other dog away, Clark Kent ran forward and bit the back of the owner’s leg, breaking skin. The owner believes he intended to bite the other dog but that she got in the way.

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:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.

Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Toy:: 1. No interest.
Summary:: During the handling assessment Clark Kent was social(seeks attention) towards the assessor. Relaxed, and allowed handling.
Summary (1):: Clark Kent is social with other dogs, but is sexually motivated around female dogs. He explores the pens, most sessions, and is easy to interrupt when needed. He was brought in as a stray so his behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Clark Kent be placed in a home with resident dogs that are tolerant of sexually motivated behaviors and matches his calm sociability. 11/13: When off leash at the Care Center, Clark Kent approaches the female helper hesitantly and is tolerant of her pushy greeting. He mostly wanders the yard, exploring the pen with a slightly tucked posture. Towards the end of his session he becomes sexually motivated, attempts to mount and responds well to her corrections for his behavior. 11/14: Clark Kent spent most of his session exploring the pens after briefly greeting a novel male dog. 11/15-16: Clark Kent is sexually motivated, but is easily distracted by handler interruptions. 11/17-19: Clark Kent engaged in cooperative play, with a playful female.
Date of intake:: 11/12/2017
Summary:: Clark Kent was friendly, and allowed collaring.
Date of initial:: 11/13/2017
Summary:: friendly, allows exam/treatment with minimal restraint.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Clark Kent so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Clark Kent is a young, enthusiastic, social dog. He will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Clark Kent consistently displays highly social behavior with his human caretakers outside of his kennel. He maintains a loose wiggly body throughout interactions and solicits attention from handlers. He engages in games with preferred toy items while off leash, and frequently checks in with the handler.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: Single-pet home,Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Clark Kent’s bite history in his previous home, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: When the other dog in the home growled at Clark Kent, he pursued the dog and attempted to bite her, biting the owner who got in the way. We recommend placing Clark Kent in a home without other animals to prevent these situations from occurring. If any behavior concerns arise in a future home, guidance from a professional positive reinforcement trainer/behaviorist is recommended.
