James Bond
Hello, my name is James Bond. My animal id is #17215. I am a male gray puppy at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 29-Dec-2017.
James Bond is at risk for both behavioral and medical reasons. James Bond has been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, James Bond is fearful in shelter, and consistently displays warning/threatening signals when he feels overwhelmed. Due to this behavior, and to known bite history, we are seeking placement only with a New Hope partner.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 44.5 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Upon intake, James Bond had a nervous body. He kept trying to hide in corners. He allowed counselor to pet but had his tail between his legs.
Date of intake:: 12/29/2017
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Resource guarding:: James Bond bit victim who attempted to catch him while running at large. James Bond released immediately.
Date of assessment:: 1/9/2018
Summary:: James Bond is not an appropriate candidate for an assessment due to age.
Date of initial:: 12/29/2017
Summary:: Shy, tense
ENERGY LEVEL:: James Bond remains highly fearful in the care center, we cannot appropriate assess his energy level at this time. The behavior department recommends daily mental and physical stimulation as a way to positively direct his energy in a new home environment.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: James Bond was initially highly fearful of handlers and avoided interaction. However with a continued slow approach, he has opened up significantly and now displays highly social behavior towards known handlers. He will solicit petting and attention, leaning in with soft body. He will approach novel people slowly and sniff them, but takes time to warm up to each individual. He takes treats gently and would do well with positive reinforcement training.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Though he has improved during his stay at our care centers, James Bond continues to give all appropriate warning signals when uncomfortable. Due to the consistent behavior displayed in shelter, the behavior department recommends an experienced adult home only until he can acclimate to his new home environment for the behavior to be further assessed. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is advised; force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Place with a New Hope partner: Based on the level of fear and propensity to escalate, James Bond would be best set up to succeed with a rescue partner.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: James Bond appears to escalate when approached or handled suddenly (growling, snapping). We recommend allowing James Bond to interact at his own pace, never forcing him to interact. Force-free, reward based training is recommended when introducing/exposing James Bond to new and unfamiliar situations.
