SUPER URGENT 12/23/17 A volunteer writes: Love at first sight….Shado…a handsome black knight who came in… to steal my heart and hopefully yours… Shado is with us for no fault of his own. His owners moved to a place not allowing pets. He comes with stellar recommendations. He lived and loved his companion elderly cat with whom he ate and slept… How sweet is this…Shado is shy within our walls. I like the timid ones….He accepts my lead without fuss and for a pup who supposedly was never on a leash, he walks quite well after initial zigzagging. He is a Shepie and a fast learner…Shado is not prey driven for birds, squirrels or little dogs. He nears politely dogs his size. Although not a fan of my treats, he sits on command and after a while spent together, ventures on the bench and on my lap, posing his paw over my arm and in my hand. Kisses follow.. I must be doing something right.. Shado’s tail is not between his legs anymore. He looks happier. He is in the park, it is sunny, not that cold and he is in company. Well, we are both happy. Lets try the yard… Well, Shado is making progresses by the minute.. He is all excited. Balls are right up his alley..He runs and jumps for them and even brings them back toward me. For a first outing, we did great. I am looking for more in the days to come but I would not be sad to learn that Shado found his match and left us with a new wonderful master or family… Shado is at the Manhattan Care Center, hoping to very soon be yours.

Although not a fan of my treats, he sits on command, and after a while spent together, ventures on the bench and on my lap, posing his paw over my arm and in my hand. Kisses follow. I must be doing something right, as Shado’s tail is not between his legs anymore. He looks happier. He is in the park, it is sunny, not that cold, and he is in company. Well, we are both happy. Lets try the yard. Shado is making progress by the minute. He is all excited. Balls are right up his alley. He runs and jumps for them and even brings them back toward me. For a first outing, we did great. I am looking for more in the days to come, but I would not be sad to learn that Shado found his match and left us with a new wonderful person or family. Shado is at the Manhattan Care Center, hoping to very soon be yours. Another volunteer writes: As Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. sang… “Just me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue….”. And that’s me and Shado. Bouncing in his kennel eager for a walk, he’s leashed easily and we go. He’s good on leash, a bit zig zaggy from time to time, but his plumbed tail wags as we head to the park. Surrendered by his family due to a move to a place where animals aren’t allowed, we’re told that he lived with an infant and would lay next to her, lived with an older cat with whom he would play and eat together, is friendly to strangers, likes to have a bone to chew on, and will lie in front of the door until someone comes home. On our first date Shado gave me a big stand up hug, along with some kisses, came on my lap when I sat on the bench in the park, and seemed unfazed by by people wheeling grocery carts with their weekend shopping done. He’s a sweetheart who seemed understandably unsettled when he first joined us, but has settled into the rhythm, looks forward to meeting new people, especially those carrying a leash. A gentle, sensitive soul, Shado is looking forward to meeting his new family and beginning a new life.

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to how uncomfortable Shado is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Shado’s bite history and his discomfort with handling, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Shado has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over him or restraining him. It is important to always go slow and give Shado the option to walk away from any social interaction. Shado should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Shado’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Shado may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Though observed to be human-social, Shado may need time to warm up to the handler as he initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Shado to interact at his own pace. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing him to new/unfamiliar situations. Anxiety: Shado is reported to throw himself against the walls and bark when left along. Guidance from a professional positive reinforcement trainer/behaviorist is recommended to help with this issu.
