He was friendly and tolerated handling.

02/19/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Our Konan is a middle aged gentleman of mixed lineage for you to decipher…and who was a little grumpy upon arrival at the care center, which earned him a “just be careful” label. Konan was found as a stray. He was most likely a yard dog, watching his premises and guarding them against intruders. We know he does not like birds and goes bananas when he sees one…I presume that cats and small critters might not be his friends and that he must have, at his age, a strong opinion about a host of matters. His care was very poor. He is underweight and his legs are covered with healed sores and callouses. His thin coat covers a body that was once muscular. Konan is pretty cool in his den and qualified as aloof by kennel staff. He accepts willingly the leash and off to the yard he goes, marking his territory on the way. He salutes one or two lady dogs and is particularly interested in a young damsel in the pen next door (so is she). Konan was in for a photo shoot. He did not expect this kind of attention and I must say he was quite pleased. Two beautiful ladies attended to him, scratched his chin, petted his head and made him feel like a prince. He did not know at first what to do with himself. It was like drinking a bottle of Musca wine. He became all mushy inside…maybe it reminded him of his very early youth, when he was at his mother’s side, cared for and loved. Konan dropped his armor, made his move and nudged the neck and chest of his lovely caretakers, even kissing them. I am sure that Konan, a most likely not-too-cherished pet, took with him, in his kennel and for days to come, the sweet memory of a wonderful encounter. You know the saying, “Never judge a book by his cover.” Again, this applies right to Konan. A pooch you would not want to meet at a street corner but who, in fact, could be you forever and loyal best friend. Come and meet Konan at the Manhattan Care Center, get to know him in the yard, make friends and see what tender soul is hiding under his rough cloak. You could be walking home with him very soon.

02/20/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
2/20 update: Konan has shown an increased level of stress during his stay at the care center. He persistently barks in his kennel and has begun pacing and excessively salivating. He remains social with humans outside of his kennel. Konan is still appropriate for an adopter with an average amount of experience but we feel it’s in his best interest to leave the care center environment quickly. 2/17 SAFER: Konan pulls a bit on the leash. He was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. Konan was calm and relaxed during handling. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Konan shows minimal interest during the toy item. Konan did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog may smell or lick toy Playgroup Notes: When off leash with other dogs, Konan displays sexually motivated behavior and postures to mount the female greeter. He takes correction in response to this behavior. Konan stiffens, growl, and barks when greeting a male dog through a barrier.

02/16/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Konan displays sexually motivated behavior and postures to mount the female greeter. He takes correction in response to this behavior. Konan stiffens, growl, and barks when greeting a male dog through a barrier. 2/17 update: Konan continues to display sexually motivated behavior. He is initially tolerant of play solicitation but offers correction when the other dog is persistant. 2/18 update: Konan is tolerant of play solicitation but does not fully engage. He instead runs with the playful female dog and attempts to mount once she ceases running. 2/20 update: Konan postures to mount but stops when the other dog is uncomfortable and quickly moves away. He then spends his time exploring the yard.
