A volunteer writes: Kree is so impressive not only in his size but his gentle nature. He sits nicely waiting with a big happy smile in his cage as I get his leash ready for his walk. What a happy disposition, he looks up at me when I talk to him on our walk. His goofy happy smile reminds me of Scooby Doo. His nice brindle coat makes me feel like I am walking a big tiger. All the people we pass comment on how impressive he is. A man wanted to adopt him right on our walk. I told him to go to the shelter and meet Mr. Kree.

Another volunteer writes:
Don’t be fooled by Kree’s imposing size and serious expression, modeling may not be his forte but when it comes to socializing this handsome hunk is a superstar! You couldn’t find a more smushy, wussy, kissy baby than he and it’s no coincidence that he’s adored and fussed over by everyone who meets him. The perfect combination of puppy playfulness and big boy social skills, Kree’s always ready to lean in for a snuggle, lick a hand or kiss a face, calmly chew a plush toy or take a meandering sniff-stroll outside. He’s a good boy who knows how to come when called and he’ll sit on command and snarfle treats gently but his leash walking technique is still a bit here, there and everywhere. Of course, that’s just what happens when a sensitive Hound nose meets a smelly NYC street and with a little guidance from his new family I’m sure he’ll be adding ‘heel’ to his repertoire in no time. Kree loves other dogs and is the official class clown of playgroup, soliciting attention with a soft body and lots of bouncing play while his happy tail stump wag wag wags like crazy. ‘Relaxed’, ‘loose’ and ‘wiggly’ are the hallmarks of his behavior evaluation and with great scores on everything from handling to dog greeting to sharing his toys, Kree is ready to join an experienced forever home as soon as possible. If you’ve been searching for a big, cuddly teddy bear of a dog who’ll garner admiring looks wherever he goes, then this is definitely your lucky day…Sweet Kree is waiting here at our Manhattan Care Center and he is fabulous!

Behavior: EXPERIENCE

Kree came into our center after police were called that he was left tied to a pole. During intake, he displayed a soft body and wagging tail, allowing all handling. Kree pulled slightly on leash for his relief walk. Kree appeared interested in all surroundings in the SAFER assessment room, sniffing floor, wall, etc. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands for Look item, sniffing assessor’s shirt. Kree stood still during Sensitivity item, sniffing assessor’s pants, body soft, mouth closed. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, a bit focused on other stimuli, sniffing floor mid game. Kree was difficult to position for Squeeze item, appearing overly aroused, requiring a reset before item could be fully conducted. Once positioned, Kree did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Kree playfully engaged with Toy, taking it away with a loose body. When off leash with other dog Kree is bouncy and playful. He jumps onto and over the helper dog to solicit play but eventually he tries to mount. The Behavior Team feels Kree would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have very young children. He may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as not to jump up.

Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture, focused on sniffing assessor’s shirt. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, mouth closed, focused on sniffing assessor’s pants.

Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the AssessorHe is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor, sniffing floor mid game.

Squeeze 1: 1. Difficult to position, overly aroused, required reset. Once positioned, dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are back.

Toy 1: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness.

Dog-dog: When off leash with other dog Kree is bouncy and playful. He jumps onto and over the helper dog to solicit play but eventually he tries to mount.
