A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: A BBB(big , black and beautiful) boy….. This is Gibson, a handsome tubby gent we host at the Manhattan Care Center. I spotted him right away, a bison in a kennel….right at his door, all eyes on me and wagging his tail. Gibson was a must to take out. Easy to leash, he is a dream to walk around the block although a little  “lazy”. Gibson did not want  to make the trip to the park, may be the rain was not to his like….He is a debonair character, easy going who seems to want to enjoy life as it happens…..Gibson loves treats, will jump high for them or sit or hop on the bench, helping himself without guilt to my goodies bag….The nerve.. I forgive him as he is such a good nature, a social lad with the biggest smile and brightest eyes  that make you forget about any misdoing…He enjoys petting as well and will just settle by my feet , enjoying a good neck or butt scratch.He is polite in  the street  with big and small pooches as well as in playgroup with his peers. I love Gibson who has already made quite a lot of friends among staff and volunteers. Just come and spend time with him. Gibson is a great guy who will give you many years of fun and loyal companionship.

Behavior Notes:
Upon intake, Gibson was wagging his tail and sniffing the floor. Gibson approached me with a loose body and wagging tail but became tense when I collared him and pet him on the head. Gibson walked well on the leash and walked into the kennel on his own.

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment: 4-Feb-2018
Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, ears are back, tail is down, relaxed body posture. Dog 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 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
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. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. Dog does not place his/her body between you and the toy.
Summary: Gibson was interested in sniffing around the assessment room, but approached the assessor with coaxing. He was social during the assessment, allowed all handling, and displayed no concerning behaviors.
Summary (1): 2/3: When off leash with another dog, Gibson will greet politely and then wander the pen. He will eventually attempt to mount the social female.
Date of intake: 2-Feb-2018
Summary: Gibson had a loose body and allowed handling.
Date of initial: 3-Feb-2018
Summary: Gibson was gentle and easy to examine.
ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Gibson so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
