01/23/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Walker is with us as his owner passed away. His care, understandably has been poor and Walker is waiting now for someone to offer him a home, love him and allow him to spend his golden years in dignity. Walker is a “grumpy old man” in his kennel. He is more bark than bite and does not fool me…Once leashed, Walker enjoys his stroll around the block. He is quite energetic and does his business in one stop, no marking involved. He is a bit lost. Who would not at this age, in a strange place and amidst people he does not know… He accepts my caresses, though and gulps greedily a big chunk of wet food that he prefers to eat in peace. He does not seem to “see” big dogs but notices uneventfully the small ones. Walker stood on his hinds and rested his paws on my lap, grabbing a soft treat. We will make friends… Walker will soon enough need you. Please, consider this elderly “orphan” and make him yours to spoil and cherish. Walker is at the Manhattan Care Center.

01/23/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 1/21/17 Neutered, Owner died Other notes: Upon intake Walker was very nervous. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 1/23/2017 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, lip lick, body neutral Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog sniffs, then turns away. Summary: Initially difficult to remove from kennel, low growling. Walker did tolerate all handling during SAFER assessment, a slow approach is recommended. PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/21/17 During his initial medical exam, Walker growled and snapped when touched. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adult-home only _X_No children (under 13) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Walker has been uncomfortable here at the center, snapping if approached too quickly. We recommend approaching very slowly or allowing Walker to approach his potential adopters at his own pace and on his own terms. Interactions should never be forced or Walker may snap if pushed past his threshold for situations that are new to him. He may benefit from going home to a calm, quiet, structured environment.)
