11/26/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/26/16 18:52 Magneto has started to suffer from seizures over the last few years. His previous owners say they happen every few weeks but will occur a few times that day and will worsen with medication. He is friendly towards strangers and is good with kids 8 years and older (not a fan of young children). He plays gently with adults and kids and has spent time with other dogs. Although, depending on the dog he’ll be playful or more respectful of them. He has never spent time with cats and has never bitten a human or animal. Magneto is not bothered by loud noises such as fireworks or thunder. He doesn’t mind when his food bowl is taken away and thinks you’re playing when taking away a bone or toy. Magneto isn’t bothered when you try to hold him but will try to escape when he’s done being held. He also doesn’t mind being woken up from his slumber. He doesn’t mind baths but does not like the initial placement into the tub. Magneto snaps but never bites when getting his nails trimmed. He will bark when someone unfamiliar to him approaches his home or previous owner but then smells them and warms up. Magneto’s previous owners describe him as affectionate, playful, mellow, and independent. He is also described as the quintessential old man. His previous owners say their favorite thing about Magneto is how much he loves being cuddled. He tended to follow his previous owners around the house when they were home and recently has taken a liking to the garbage when left alone. He is for the most part house-trained but since their latest move a few weeks ago, Magneto has been going potty indoors about once a day. When outside, he enjoys going potty on the grass. Magneto enjoys balls, stuffed toys, and chew bones and tug is his favorite game. He’s mostly kept indoors but when outside enjoys slow walks and will sometimes pull lightly if he sees something that excites him. Magneto was crate-trained but did not like it so they stopped using it. He knows sit and stay and loves sleeping on his own bed (but also enjoys sleeping in his previous owner’s bed when allowed). Magneto eats Simply Nourished dry food, 2 cups, twice a day. His favorite treat is anything peanut butter flavored and soft chews. On intake Magneto allowed me to collar him and sat for pictures when treats were introduced. He kept coming over to me to be pet. When it came time for vaccines and I was holding him, he snapped at me and had to be taken into a smaller room to do the rest.

11/29/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Magneto is at his door. A handsome red fox who yearns for his freedom, and not life in a kennel. He knows what a leash is and is ready at once for his stroll around the block. Magneto walks pretty fast, not forgetting to do his business on the way, no marking involved. Having been a family dog for 15+ years, he must be pretty lost without his loved ones. Few dogs are approached in the street, and another rambunctious one in the lobby. Magneto appeared fine with them. He has been very well cared for, looks healthy despite his seizure history, and is perfectly dressed in a flame-colored luxurious coat. Magneto was relinquished into our care as his long time owners moved to a place not allowing dogs. They had a lot to say about him, and it must have been quite heart wrenching to separate from such a spirited old friend. Magneto is friendly toward strangers and playful with older children and adults. He has his likes and dislikes in the canine department, and is independent, although very affectionate, too. His former owners describe him as the quintessential old man and loved the way he cuddled with them. Magneto was quite friendly with me, allowing me to pet him, scratch him and accepting soft treats from my hand. He looks in pretty good shape despite his age, and will need a veterinary professional to look into his alleged neurological condition. A great friend he still can be if someone gives him the chance to spend his golden years cared for and loved as he deserves. Magneto is at the Manhattan Care Center.
