A volunteer writes: “That is one beautiful dog,” a man in the park said as Rex and I strolled by on a sunny morning. It’s totally true: this smiley, well-behaved boy sports such a gorgeous reddish coat and handsome face, he could be a movie star. Rex isn’t just a looker though. He seems friendly and sweet toward humans and other dogs, has nice leash skills, and is so good-natured, he was selected to help teach a new group of volunteers the dog-walking ropes. Rex absolutely loved being part of a pack and adored being the center of attention. This is a really good, charming boy who will make a new pet parent or family very, very happy. Your best summer ever starts the day you bring Rex home! A volunteer writes: Beautiful and young Rex was found together with an unlikely companion, Cooper, an older and gentle male with a poorly kept coat. Rex is well nourished, healthy looking and wears a flawless coat. He was well cared for until his abandonment. Rex walks well on the leash, eliminating on the way. He seems fine with other dogs met but sometimes ” goes ” after the birds. He was a little anxious and unfocused in his first few days at the care center but has settled down nicely, looking forward to his walks and some time in the yard. Rex, off leash , comes when called and sits on command and for treats. He still likes to circle my waist with his forlegs and seeks caresses. Rex can jump very high and if you leave the half gait of a pen open, he will hop out like a rabbit. Rex is a loving young man full of life, a good walker, playful with the ball and would make a very nice companion to an active or semi active owner or family. Rex is at the Manhattan Care Center, hoping to meet you soon.

02/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rex has been showing signs of kennel stress, at different times during his stay he has shredded blankets, been digging at the transfer door, and may play tug with the leash. After one of these leash tugging sessions while being returned to his kennel, Rex bit a caretaker on the hand leaving three punctures. Due to this bite history we recommend an experienced adopter who can watch for signs of overstimulation and provide the guidance Rex needs to become a successful family pet. As a result of his level of stress in this environment, we feel it is best for Rex to move into a stable home environment quickly. 2/2 SAFER: Rex pulls a bit on the leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Rex was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He took the toy away with a soft body language. Rex was surrender to us. His previous owner described him as playful and mellow with a medium activity level. Rex lived with teenagers, and owner says he was playful and affectionate with them. While with him Rex was not socialized with any other animals or strangers. Rex allows the owner to grab food while eating, as well as remove things from his mouth without issue”. Rex did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. 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. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy.

02/02/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Rex has greeted politely and engaged in play with female dogs, sometimes occasionally attempting to mount (may be anxiety or stress related). Rex was uncomfortable interacting with one select male dog who was innapropriate and did not respond to his correction. Previous owner reports that Rex had not been introduced to other animals, so in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction for Rex before introducing him to a resident dog. When off leash withother dogs, Rex engages in play with the helper dog, offering bows and becomes bouncy, with the intention to eventually mount. 2/3 update: Rex greets a male well (loose body, wagging tail) through the gate, but becomes agitated once introduced. The other male continuously licks Rex’s lips and does not cease when Rex attempts to walk away. Eventually Rex offers a low growl as a correction. He does engage in a bit of soft play with a female. 2/6 update: Rex attempts to mount a female. He will briefly stop when corrected but then walks over again to attempt to mount once more.
