05/08/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/08/16 19:30 Golem is a White American Pitbull terrier that chained to a fence. The police transported him in to a crate using a catch pole which they said that he strongly resisted. He was wagging his tail and loosely moving his body so he then came out of the crate and we was able unclip his own leash and use one of own slip leash. He was tense when I was scanning (-).Golem was moving around a lot and grabbing his leash. He seemed over-excited and we didn’t feel comfortable restraining him to collar him. He grabbed on to the rope leash and was pulling it all over the place. He was walking back and forth with the lash still in his mouth. He jumped up a couple times on us but continue to just move back and forth with the leash still in his mouth. He looked up and saw the catch pole that was in the office and growled but that was all he displayed.

05/11/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Take a soft smile, a wiggly behind and the biggest, freckliest and most adorable ears EVER, mix them with some affectionate snuggles and a whole lot of playful energy and what do you get? A Golem!Forget the ancient tales of dim-witted clay creatures, I prefer the translation of our Golem’s name that means ‘unformed’ because he’s a snow white canvas just waiting to be turned into a masterpiece. This smart youngster is eager to soak up knowledge, love and guidance from his human friends, and while his energy levels rival the EverReady bunny at times, he will listen and obey when asked to come, sit or stay, is a good leash walker and seems house trained too. Sure, he will mouth the rope given the chance, but there’s a simple solution to that–don’t give him the chance! A short leash, a firm focus on keeping calm walk time and rowdy play time separate, and he soon gets the picture. I told you he was smart! Golem trots slightly ahead of me, sniffing all around and greeting passing dogs with a happy tail even when they’re less than welcoming in return, and back in the yard he’s all about ball games and snuggles. A pet for the big of heart, not the faint of heart, Golem’s looking for an active home and a family committed to keeping his quick wits and hunky body at their best with lots of toys, play dates and new tricks to learn. Leave the spells and scrolls in the history books and come claim your very own Golem at our Manhattan Care Center–the only magic word you need is LOVE! Another volunteer writes: Golem has the cutest face with little spots in his ears. I go to leash him and he flips the rope over his head. I immediately know this guy is smart. We walk out past the adoption center and two ladies swoon at his cuteness. We go out for our walk and he is so excited, looking back at me every once in a while with his cute face and a big happy smile with his tongue hanging out. So I promise him we will go for a jog. We jog down the sidewalk and he is so happy. He looks back at me as we jog, so excited. We get to the park bench and he immediately knows this is where he is going to get petted. I sit down next to him and he crawls into my lap–so ADORABLE. When I tell him it’s time to go back, and he puts his paw on my hand as if to say “sit back down.” So sweet. I sit back down next to him, how could I not? When we get back to the shelter he meets potential adopters, and he gently gets on this hind legs and gives a sweet hug. Charming!

05/10/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Golem often greets politely. He briefly engages in play when solicited by females, at times briefly becoming sexually motivated. He offers bows when introduced to a male dog but then begins to mount persistantly. The behavior department feels that Golem may be placed into a home with a social, female dog, with pre-adoption interaction highly encouraged to ensure compatability. The behavior department does not recommend Golem be placed in a home with a male dog until his behaviors can be followed up on outside the shelter. He arrived as a stray so in home behavior is unknown. While in the shelter environment, Golem has displayed barrier reacrtivity (barking, lunging in-kennel) toward passing dogs, however these behaviors have not translated into off-leash behaviors. It is recommended that Golem seek placement outside the care center in order keep stress levels down and to avoid allowing him to rehearse this behavior.

The helper dog does not attempt to approach him further. 5/12 update: Golem sniffs and roams, appears intent on mounting. 5/13 update: Golem greets and sniffs then begins to pace and whine in the pen. 5/14 update: Golem greets a small, male dog with bows and a loose body.
