Jackpot! You’ve just found the dog of your dreams. Nope, it wouldn’t be a gamble to place all bets on Nevada. This 2 year-old dreamboat with the hazelnut coat and the warm, inviting eyes is 54 pounds of fun and handsome and filled to the brim with charm. Nevada greets me excitedly from his kennel and pulls a bit on leash as he ushers me outside with some business to attend to. But the moment he’s done he flips around to flash me a dazzling smile. One as bright and as full of energy as Saturday onThe Strip. Soon we retire to the yard where Nevada roams happily and inspects every corner eventually bursting with excitement and wags when a young pup joins us in a neighboring pen. Eventually I plop down on the grass beside him and this is where our dapper darling truly begins to shine. He climbs right into my lap, leans his head against my chest, and smiles like there’s no tomorrow as we snuggle beneath the sun. Denver is a young, energetic boy who – when not snuggling – would certainly love the activity and mental stimulation that any gentleman-in-the-making needs. And with a heart this big and with this much love to give, you don’t need to be a high roller to be the apple of Denver’s eye. So go ahead, go all in. Roll the dice and take a chance on Denver. Odds are good that you’ll live happily ever after. (If you play your cards right.) Denver is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.
BEHAVIOR :

KNOWN HISTORY: None

Intact male, stray

SAFER ASSESSMENT:

Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

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: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Dog may lick hand.

Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Toy: 1.  No interest

Summary: Nevada was social throughout his assessment and displayed no concerns.

PLAYGROUP:

Pending.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During his initial medical examination, Nevada was friendly and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Nevada so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
