03/06/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/06/17 08:17 On intake, Snickers would not walk out of the crate on his own. Once leashed, counselor gave a little tug and he came out. His tail began to wag and he allowed counselor to pet his head and back. He sat nicely when asked and counselor offered him a cookie. He gently took the cookie from the counselor and ate it. While sitting, counselor collared and walked Snickers over for pictures. He sat nicely for pictures but kept getting up to approach counselor with camera but would sit back down when asked. His tail low-wagged the whole time.

A volunteer writes: Many people love cream cheese, and I certainly hope that our very own Cream Cheese will be a hit, too. Cream Cheese was found with his housemate Teddy roaming free in an apartment building. Who knows, maybe their family was evicted? They both have been so nicely cared for by the neighbors, are in great shape, and perfectly dressed. Cream Cheese got up immediately when he saw me at his door. His tail was wagging and he was surely ready for his walk. He is the perfect guy for me. Strolling at a nice pace around the block, respecting pigeons and other dogs alike, doing his business outside his kennel…sounds like a great pet to me. Free in a pen, he sniffs a lot his new territory. Many dogs have been playing on that grass. I wonder what all those scents are telling him. His tail wags+++. Although a bit aloof at the beginning of our time together, Cream Cheese’s face begun to un-wrinkle and a smile appeared. He even went after a ball…briefly. He accepted petting and looked gently at me. It’s tough to find oneself homeless and an orphan…and at the ripe age of 9…well, Cream Cheese is a good guy, in great shape, with good manners, friendly, and as we can observe in our doggy playgroups, comfortable with his peers. He certainly could have his second chance around to be once again, a beloved and well cared for family dog. There is a match out there for everyone!! Meet Cream Cheese at the Manhattan Care Center and make him your very loving and loyal companion.

A volunteer adds: Cream Cheese was a bit lost when I first met him, although he gave me a big smile and a tail wag at the end of our encounter. Since then, he has made a huge turnaround, revealing himself to be a fantastic runner and ball player. Who would have thought? Yes, he is 9 years old, but acts like a young man, so spry and energetic although never hyper. He still has an eye for the ladies and would not mind having 6 year old June as his new girlfriend…romance at Manhattan ACC!!! Cream Cheese is very respectful of his peers in playgroup and in a nutshell seems to be a wonderful pet to have at one’s side. Cream Cheese is all ready to be yours, your fun and loyal companion. Come and meet him soon.

03/07/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/5/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 3/7/17 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, closed mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, bit distracted. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog quickly pulls back. Squeeze 2: 2. Dog quickly pulls back. 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. Summary: Cream Cheese displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Tolerant: These dogs are typically non-reactive on leash and will be either friendly or indifferent off leash. They can typically tolerate some rude behavior from other dogs and can be described as having a long fuse. They show relaxed, appropriate, easy-going body language around others. PLAYGROUP: Cream Cheese has been polite and tolerant when interacting with male and female dogs in the care center. He arrived into the care center with another dog, though their history is unknown. When introduced in the care center, Cream Cheese and the other resident dog appeared tense and uncomfortable while interacting with one another. Future adopters of Cream Cheese should take into consideration that his behavior in home with other dogs cannot be predicted based off of in shelter interaction. The behavior department recommends slow introductions between Cream Cheese and respectful dogs. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/6/17 During his initial medical exam, Cream Cheese was tense. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Cream Cheese so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. At the care center, he displays a medium activity level.

IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Cream Cheese remains social and affectionate with his human caretakers. He is starting to show a little frustration as a result of being kenneled for several weeks; where he previously spent most of his kennel time calmly resting, he has begun barking more frequently and for longer periods, and does not settle as easily. This appears to be entirely in-kennel behavior, but to prevent further stress and frustration we feel that Mr Cheese needs to move into a home environment soon. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
