Kudo
Hello, my name is Kudo. My animal id is #18366. I am a desexed male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 months 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 15-Jan-2018.
Kudo 18366 is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Upper 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. He is energetic and needs appropriate outlets for that energy. It is recommended that he go to an experienced dog owner.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Happy Kudo is a sight for sore eyes– if you’re looking for a dog to celebrate you every time you get home, Kudo could be the one for you! Every time I walk by his kennel, he wags his tail, and wags it extra hard if I throw in a little baby talk. He licks my fingers through the bars and has all the exuberance of a young pup. Kudo pulls a tiny bit on the leash, but is responsive to his walker and will pay close attention when you tell him to slow down. He has the cutest floppy-pointy ears: they’re floppy and long when he’s walking, but the second he sees or hears something interesting, he stops and sticks his ears straight up to listen extra-close. Today a loud motorcycle went by us, and Kudo sat down and looked right at it (ears pointed the whole time!) until it passed by. Such a funny boy. Kudo can sit for treats, and if you only give him one, he will gladly climb up onto the bench next to you and place one little paw on your knee, as if to say “May I have another, please?” What a polite pup! Come and meet this funny dog at the Brooklyn ACC.

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Date of intake:: 1/15/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray, no known history.
Date of assessment:: 1/17/2018

Sensitivity:: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.

Paw squeeze 1:: 2. Dog gently pulls back and whimpers.
Paw squeeze 2:: 2. Dog gently pulls back and whimpers.
Toy:: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you.
Summary:: Kudo was playful, and energetic during the handling assessment. He was a bit mouthy, but allowed handling with a soft posture.
Summary (1):: Kudo is social and playful around female dogs. His play consist of frequent body contact, while bouncing and chasing. He is sightly sexually motivated, so he occasionally mount. Kudo did not meet a male dog in playgroup. He was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Kudo be placed in a home with resident dogs that match his play style. 1/16: When off leash at the Care Centers, Kudo displays soft and social body language. He is sexually motivated and persistently sniffs a female’s genital area. He oscillates between genital sniffing, and engaging in brief bouts of cooperative play- with the primary goal to mount her. 1/17: Today, Kudo initially rushes to greet the female dog, focusing on her genital region, but becomes more playful and socially appropriate as the session continues. 1/18- 1/22: Kudo engages in a bit of high energy play, with constant body contact. He takes appropriate breaks when the other dog ignores his solicitations.
Date of intake:: 1/15/2018
Summary:: Intake behavior unknown.
Date of initial:: 1/16/2018
Summary:: Active, attention seeking, allows all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Kudo so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Kudo is a young, enthusiastic, social dog, we recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition
Potential challenges comments:: Kudo has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Kudo’s teeth make contact with skin).
