She will not do these things with her owner, she will do them with other people.

06/28/2017 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes: Kane is a sweet young blonde, who would be just at ease strolling along a California beach, as she is walking the streets of New York. She leans in as you caress her hair, and softly greets her canine pals through the fence. While playing fetch, she’ll wiggle to you with the ball in her mouth and sit at your feet. As stressful as the shelter environment can be, Kane has taken it in stride and has always remained social and affectionate. Can you only imagine how graceful and devoted she would be in your home? Whether it’s a NYC studio or a spacious beach home, Kane won’t care where she lives as long as she is with you.

Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Kane appeared a bit fearful at the beginning of her assessment but quickly warmed up and became social with the assessor. PLAYGROUP: Kane’s previous owner cites that “she has not lived with other dogs but does great at the dog park and plays with other dogs exuberantly, and sometimes a little rough”. In the care center, Kane has displayed soft, wiggly, and playful body language when greeting dogs on leash, or through the fence during enrichment walks. Future introductions between Kane and other dogs should be supervised, and conducted at a slow pace. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake Kane was tense but then appeared to relax and allowed handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/12/17 During her initial medical exam, Kane was active and social.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Kane so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to the food guarding seen in the home, where Kane escalated to nipping when in possession of a bone, we recommend an adult only home. Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Kane’s previous owner notes that she may growl and when her food is touched and that she has nipped when she was in possession of a bone and a child walked up to her. We recommend that Kane be left along while eating or in possession of a resource, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Kane’s mouth, and any time something is removed she should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. She should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. _X_Fearful: Kane has shown she can sometimes be initially fearful with new people and may need some time to warm up. It is important to always go slow and give Kane the option to walk away from any social interaction. Kane should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Kane’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Kane would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
