03/20/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Good things come in large packages. That’s certainly the case with Stone. Surrendered to our care as his owner was moving where he wasn’t welcome, Stone is 88 lbs of love and affection. On first passing his kennel he is so calm and quiet I don’t realize what a big boy he is until I open his kennel door. I easily leash him and we are off for our walk. He pulls a bit but I understand why the moment we hit the street – he had business to attend to! This well-mannered sweetheart is house trained. Free in a pen Stone play bows to neighboring pups and barks excitedly. This boy loves to play. I give him some extended butt scratches, tease him with a tennis ball, and then retire to a bench to sit for a spell. Suddenly, before I even know what’s happened, I have an 88 lb lap dog resting his big, furry paws on my shoulders and showering me with sloppy kisses! From that moment on Stone and I are friends and he’s hesitant to leave my side. As I stroke his head I can so easily picture this handsome boy laying at someone’s feet on a chilly morning or rolling about on a grassy patch in the park come spring. I start thinking of what his new name will be, whether he’ll take up the entire bed of his new owner, what his Instagram account will look like. At 5 years-old Stone has known a home and a family for much of his life and it shows. The shelter is only the intermission in the play of this boy’s life. I can’t wait to see the ending. Stone is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

03/18/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Stone came into our center as an owner surrender citing moving issues. It is reported he lived with a 5 and 10 year old child, comfortable, loving, playful, and gentle. Owner reports Stone isn’t bothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats, will sit still and wait until instructed to eat. It is reported Stone is housebroken and crate trained when left alone in the home. During intake, Stone was social and friendly, allowed all handling. He pulled very hard on leash for his relief walk. Stone displayed high energy and movement upon entering SAFER assessment room, panting. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, body soft. Stone leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, open mouth pant, wagging tail. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, settled at end. Stone mouthed assessor’s hand during Squeeze attempts, no pressure. He showed minimal interest in Toy. When off leash with other dogs, Stone greets briefly, then mostly spends time sniffing the yard. The Behavior Team feels Stone can go home with an adopter that has an average amount of dog experience. He may benefit from being walked with a harness as well as obedience classes to learn leash manners and body awareness/focus. Stone would benefit from daily mental and physical stimulation in the forms of exercise, play, as well as durable toys such as kongs and nylabones to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. Look: 1. Dog displays high energy and movement during positioning, once positioned eyes are averted, body soft. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1/ 2: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog may smell and/or lick, then turns away. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Stone greets briefly, then mostly spends time sniffing the yard.

03/15/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Stone is sexually motivated when off leash with female dogs (he is currently unaltered) but may engage in some play if solicited. His owner does not state how he interacts with other dogs and only states that he has never bitten another animal; so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing Stone into a home with other dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Stone greets briefly, then mostly spends time sniffing the yard. 3/16 update: Stone engages in play with intent to mount, and is slow to take correction for mounting behavior.
