**NOT AT SHELTER – TEMPORARILY IN ACC FOSTER** FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: [email protected]** A volunteer writes: Kendrick is a quirky, funny boy unlike any I’ve met before. His favorite activities include: jumping up to try to steal treats out of your hand (because why sit for them when you’ve got legs this long?!); jumping over puddles (anything to avoid getting his feed wet); and chasing after the ball for about one millisecond before deciding it doesn’t look that fun after all. Kendrick loves to choose his own direction on walks, stopping often on a whim to change direction, although he’s getting better at walking on the leash. A nervous Nellie at first, Kendrick prefers not to be touched without warning (he wants to get to know you first!). He seems to be housetrained, is very food-motivated (making him a great candidate for teaching tricks with treats!), and has a greyed snout that makes me think he’s got a whole lot of wisdom to share. Come and meet Kendrick at the Brooklyn ACC today!

**NOT AT SHELTER – TEMPORARILY IN ACC FOSTER** FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: [email protected]

Hello, my name is Kendrick. My animal id is #21226. I am a male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 8 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 20-Feb-2018.

Kendrick is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Toy:: 1. No interest.

Summary:: Kendrick came into the assessment room nervous with his tail tucked, he was fearful and trembling around the handlers.

Summary (1):: Kendrick was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. Here at the Care enters, Kendrick has shown interest in socializing but is a bit timid approaching the other dogs. He investigates the pens with a low body, and is wary of the handlers. He has built some confidence and engages in brief rear sniffs, but he mostly keeps to himself. He is respectful, and moves away when another dog offers him a correction. The Behavior Department recommends that Kendrick be placed in a home with resident dogs that are respectful and matches his calm demeanor. 2/21: When off leash at the Care Centers, Kendrick is extremely nervous. He displays a low body and pauses while exchanging greets then avoids both handlers and the novel dog, the rest of his session. 2/22-26: In a group of calm female dogs, Kendrick continued to be nervous but appropriately greeted the other dogs. He was slightly sexually motivated-chattering, but does not mount. He spends the rest of his session wandering the pens with a low body. He responds to another dogs corrections by walking away. 2/27: Today, when greeting a stiff female dog at the gate, Kendrick became defensive-hard barking and growling. 2/28: Kendrick occasionally greeted the other dogs, while exploring the pens.

Date of intake:: 2/20/2018

Summary:: Head whip and snapped, mouth the leash. no handling was done.

Date of initial:: 2/20/2018

Summary:: Scared,whale eyes and trembling.

ENERGY LEVEL:: Kendrick displays a low activity level in the care center.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to how uncomfortable Kendrick is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time.

Potential challenges: : Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Kendrick has shown high levels of fear in the care center in each interaction, though he manages his stress well and has not escalated to warning signs. He needs a very slow approach and the ability to warm up to new people and new environments at his own pace. Kendrick should be permitted to initiate interactions and solicit attention when he feels comfortable, rather than being forced to interact

  10. “Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable. They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well.” -betty wilcox

    Kendrick is an old dog who has been out on the streets, a stray, he may not have been the recepient of much honey… he just loves being petted by the handler, in the video, he has a sweet look on his face; his eyes and his smile are sooo shy. Oh, this boy must get a home…Kendrick just has to live his life sharing some more sweet moments with someone who will cherish him forever.

    Please adopt or foster sweet Kendricks.

  11. $25 pledge for this dear old boy. Seniors *really know* when they’ve been given a second chance and this guy will thank you many times, in many ways for the rest of his life. You’ll never regret adopting a Senior!

  14. The amazing Kendrick…his video shows how sweet this wonderful senior is…I still am captivaated by his goify sense of play and most of all by the shy smile and affectionate look in his eyes as he is being loved upon. Save Kendrick! PLEASE!

  17. I am very worried about Kendrick.. He needs out of the shelter..I have a feeling they will not give this boy another chance if he is not adopted or fostered today..If you cannot commit long term, or would like to give Kendrick a try before ,making a committment foster him at no cost to you..A rescue will pull a dog to safety and pay for their care but they no not house them..Rescues work from their homes and depend on foster parents to temporarily take the dog in until they can locate a forever home for them..Fostering will by Kendrick time..Time he will not receive from the shelter..So please open your heart and home to this sweet shy boy, and save Kendricks life..Don’t let ACC take Kendrick on his last walk to the euthanazia room..

  21. Please save 8 year old Kendrick from this KILL shelter! He will make a wonderful companion!

  24. Handsome, quirky, soulful, wise eyes, STANDS UP ON HIS HIND LEGS, wise 8 yr. old dog who is fun & funny! I want him saved. He looks like Wicker, another beautiful, handsome dog who has not yet been introduced to DeathRow. I want to see Kendrick make it, but I am afraid they will use the kennel cough excuse. There are too many good dogs — eleven or more — and there is nothing wrong with relisting ALL THE DOGS who don’t get adopted or pulled today! This is a great dog, would love to have him by my side. We can’t let him get killed. I wish I could pledge, but I can’t; my animals need deserve my attention first. But I am worried about his pledges. I hope RESCUES see Kendrick’s potential. The volunteer writes “Kendrick is a funny, quirky boy unlike any I’ve met before!” He sounds like an original. And smart. SAVE Kendrick. I have decided I am in love with ALL of these dogs.

  26. Foster ir adopt handsome senior Kendrick…

    “Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog”.-Sidney Jeanne Seward

    Be the person to earn the love of Kendrick!

    Adopt or foster.

  27. $250 in pledges on this thread – please pledge and share for Kendrick!

  29. Consider fostering..It free it’s temporary and you saved Kendricks life..A Rescue will not pull a dog to safety unless their is a home to go in to..Rescues work from their own homes ..Fostering buys Kenrick time..time he will not get at the shelter..Please offer your heart and home to Kenrick and save his life…Contact Help Desk on Rescues who offer free fostering, or if you need help with transport within 3 hours distance

  30. Low activity today – not reserved at noon cutoff – please share Kendrick!

  31. I AM BEGGING AND PLEADING FOR MY LIFE..PLEASE S.A.V.E ME!!! P.L.E.A.S.E!!!!!!

  33. Funny, and fun, and original, handsome, wonderful Kendrick!! PLEASE, someone, SAVE this GREAT DOG!!!

  35. No one seems to knows any status of any dogs on this list except the one Amsterdog saved the last Benny. Wish there was more good news too!

    • UD..fyi…your post about our BENNY and Amsterdog’s SAVE has been deteleted.
      I saw in their site he was SAFE..but it has been DELETED from there as well. It MUST have FALLEN THRU..do you know TY…

      • It seems Urgent isn’t allowing anyone to post if a dog is alive or dead until they can verify.. I’m pretty shore Amsterdog still has Benny ..It was on their site

        • It is True about Benny as I said he was pulled by Amsterdog and is safe.

        • Janet..thank you……they murdered our Cali…Dante..Dublin and Max..BEYOND comprehension.
          SO SO SO FUTILE…

          • So they killed four? I am suffering through checking these pages one by one. I have not yet checked on Dunkin. Poor Dunkin. And does ANYONE know what happened to Kahlua?? Have checked on her for DAYS & DAYS…where is she?! A hidden DEATH??!!
            PLEASE DO NOT KILL KENDRICK! He is goofy, fun & funny, wise & affectionate….why waste my breath…NYCACC, you don’t give a damn. Or you wouldn’t have killed Dante & Max….or any of them. sorry. sad. What about Cherry Berry? And Otto? There is no status list posted!! Where are y’all finding out this info?

  36. WHENEVER THEY ADD CHULO TO A NAME IT IS DEATH..REMEMBER OUR PUPPY CHULO????? I DO!!!!

  39. Still sharing this beautiful soul! Kendrick deserves a home! Let’s not overlook him. #SaveKendrick ??

  41. Is anyone else concerned that it’s been 3 days and we don’t know the status of Kendrick or Otto??? Can someone just call Brooklyn?

  42. WHERE IS OUR KENDRICK..T.E.L.L
    US N.O.W!!! WE D.E.M.A.N.D TO KNOW…

  44. What is Kendrick update I thought the AC was going to publish out comes for all dogs on the at Risk list I do not see any update for Kendrick!

  45. I love Kendrick. He has some years on him, and yet you see him standing straight-up on his hind legs. He has personality. I pray someone appreciates what he has to give and adopts him.

  46. Am I just having this problem? But the dogs on the death list, the day or two before the “big change” seem to have disappeared. I can’t find any info on. Urgent quit updating their fate and I can’t find them on ACC new setup. Kendrick is one of the dogs. Was he rescued, adopted, or murdered? Very Frustrating!! They are lost in this “big” shuffle.

    • I think that was the point–they don’t want us to cry over or announce the deaths of the dogs. Why else, would it be changed that if we go to “TBD Dogs” they are no longer listed, no photos…we have to remember each one, type it in, make sure they don’t fall through the cracks. But yes, both Kendrick & Selene are in ACC foster homes. Kahlua adopted; Otto rescued…Bella is STILL in the shelter, not pulled or adopted yet! Killing me.
