A volunteer writes: Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. But sometimes, if you’re very, very lucky, what you get is a delectable mix of toffee and fudge mixed with perfect, irresistible sweetness. From the moment I meet 2 year-old Lt. Dan, we two were like peas and carrots. And when he cocks his head to the right at the sight of my leash, one floppy ear flops over, and I’m all but certain that this is love. Dan is quickly leashed, and we’re off into the cold where I notice how slight our lieutenant is. Beneath his swirling fur I can see the trace of rib and bone, and I quickly drape a coat across him, a suit of armor–if just for now. As we make our way, I spot something else about our hero. A bit of a limp, one tender, bruised wing, maybe a battle hard-fought and won. But Dan seems pain-free, eager, and happy to be out, so we have a quick trot around the block, and eventually settle into a pen. There is something so calm and serene about this young boy. As if though just 2 years-old, Dan already is a veteran of this world. He sits for his treats, sniffs a comrade through the fence, and poses for photos, head tilted to one side, as if he’s been doing it all his life. As the sun shifts allegiance and moves briskly across the road, Dan’s eyes follow it, his head now tilted upward towards the sky. I imagine that if Dan were a bird he would fly far–far, far away from here, and how fortunate that he is not. Fortunate that right here is where he stands. A quiet hero wrapped in the city, just waiting to be found. Lt. Dan is waiting in adoption adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/4/17 Neutered, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 3/6/2017 Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture, mouth closed Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1/ 2: 2. Dog pulls back paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog sniffs, then turns away. Summary: Lt. Dan displayed no concerning behavior during his SAFER assessment, he remained social throughout. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Tolerant: These dogs are typically non-reactive on leash and will be either friendly or indifferent off leash. They can typically tolerate some rude behavior from other dogs and can be described as having a long fuse. They show relaxed, appropriate, easy-going body language around others. PLAYGROUP: The behavior department feels that Lt Dan may be placed into a home with other social or tolerant resident dogs. Slow introductions are always recommended to ensure the comfort level of both Lt Dan and resident dogs. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/4/17 During his initial medical exam, Lt. Dan was social and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Lt. Dan so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Lt. Dan has displayed a medium energy level. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
