11/02/2016 WEB MEMO

A volunteer writes:
Started from the bottom now we’re here. 3 year-old Drake was found abandoned in a vehicle, doors open, left to wander the streets. Instead he patiently waited in the backseat, no doubt hoping – assuming – his owner would return. Unfortunately he was wrong. And here we are today. Drake is a cookies and cream milkshake. His coat is a glorious mix of silver, black, and white and, when in the right company and in the right moment, he is just that comforting and sweet. Drake walks well on leash, and though November’s uneasy winds and weather occasionally give him pause, he was a trooper during a recent rainy walk and doled out endless snuggles. Right now Drake is the lonely boy at the dance, waiting on his favorite song (hotline bling?), his best dance partner, and his “forever.” Started from the bottom…but surely it’s only up from here. Drake is waiting on true love at Manhattan’s ACC.

11/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: N/A Intact, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/03/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 3. Dog stands tall and square. His tail perpendicular to spine, mouth closed for the majority of assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach). He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed or back. Toy: 1. No interest Summary: Drake was uncomfortable throughout the assessment, appearing anxious/aloof and was constantly seeking exit. PLAYGROUP: 11/5: When off leash with male and female dogs Drake engages in bouncy running play. He will engage in games of chase and offers paw slaps. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/29/16 During his initial medical examination, Drake did not tolerate any form of handling or direct touch as he displayed all appropriate warning signals. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience _X_No children (under 13)(See potential challenges) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Drake has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Drake easily startles and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement and will display proper warning signals as well as increase distance from anything that may present a threat. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.)
