06/08/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/08/15 12:43 Profile wasn’t left due to animal being stray. Behavior During Intake: Hank came into our facility head up high and tail wagging. This behavior displayed made me comfortable enough to take the muzzle off. Upon removal Hank seem to be so happy, he started jumping up and his body was shaking vigorously due to the wagging of his tail. I was able to scan, collar, and handle with no issues.

06/22/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I love Hank, he is so friendly and easy going and he has the cutest specks of white fur on his black face. Hank barks at his kennel door to make sure you see him!!! He loves the attention even if you just talk to him while you tend to the other dogs. Hank is an older distinguished gentleman with a heart of gold and manners to match. He sits and waits when told and even offers you a paw. I have a soft spot in my heart for seniors as they have so much to offer us and ask for so little in return: food and a nice warm bed. Please come meet Hank at Staten Island ACC!!

Hank came to our center as a stray so behaviors in the home are unknown. He was social and friendly during intake and allowed all handling by admissions counselor. Hank pulled a bit on leash during his relief walk. He held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, body soft. He leaned in with soft eyes and body, wagging tail. Hank followed at the end of the leash with a soft body, and settled easily at end of game. He had no respone to both Squeeze attempts, did not pull his paw back. Hank had minimal interest in Food, sniffing a few times before turning away. He had no interest in Toy, and minimal interest in Rawhide. During dog-to-dog interaction, Hank approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace with his ears forward and tail at spine level. The Behavior Team feels Hank would do well in an Average home, he is very social and friendly and would make a nice family pet. He may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners in regards to pulling. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
