Nino

Hello, my name is Nino. My animal id is #20264. I am a male brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 09-Feb-2018.

Nino is at risk due to medical condition. He is a geriatric dog that has presented with several masses that will need further diagnostics as well as urinary issues that will also benefit from further investigation, or potential prescription diet. We recommend that Nino go to an experienced dog owner that is prepared to manage his care.

My medical notes are…

[Spay/Neuter Waiver – Age] It is the policy of ACC not to perform surgery on any animal over the age of 8-10 years due to the higher risks incurred in a shelter setting. The veterinarian is hereby issuing a permanent spay/neuter waiver, from the spay/neuter requirements of the City of NY due to the estimated age of this animal. ACC does recommend you consult with your veterinarian to determine if surgical sterilization is appropriate.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Nino so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium-low level of activity.

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: : Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Nino is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Nino the option to walk away from any social interaction. Nino should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Nino’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Nino would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
