A volunteer writes:  Little Manny Mann Mann I call him…this Caramel blend of gorgeous colors is a quiet puppy with a grown up face, a compact puppy body and the perfect mix of playful puppy after he warms up and  sophisticated attitude. He’s fabulous!   Surrendered to our care as his person doesn’t have time to care for him we’re told that he’s shy around strangers, was relaxed and played gently with the one year old child in the home, wasn’t walked regularly, and played with a female dog in the neighborhood.    Little Manny Mann Mann pulled hard on the leash, went potty as soon as we were out the door, ignored a small yappy dog pulling towards him in the park, sits when asked and takes treats super gently.   Off leash in a pen the more we got to know one another the more fun Little Manny Mann Mann became.    He danced with me, wagged his tail, play bowed and was bouncy, fun and totally adorable.   It sounds like Little Manny Mann Mann didn’t have a lot of socialization in his previous life yet is doing incredibly well in a stressful new environment.   He stole my heart and will steal yours if you give him that chance.  He’s awesome and waiting to prove it to you.

PROFILE :

Mann A1060991 is an approx 8 months old American staff. He is being surrendered because the current cannot keep him. The previous owner left him in her home and has not returned for him. He has not been to the vet and he has no known health issues.

Socialization
Mann is shy around strangers. He will bark at strangers but will warm up after a few minutes. He barks at other dogs but will also solicit play. According to the current owner, before he was brought into BXACC he played with a femal dog in her neighborhodd. He has not been around cats. He plays well with children. She has a 1 year old daughter that
he plays gently with her. He allows her to play with him. He has not bitten anyone or any other animal.

Behavior
The current owner was feeding him him kibbles and bits. She does not know much on how to care for a dog. She works long hours but will play with him when she gets home. He slept on the rug in the livingroom and played with his toys. He pulls lightly on the leash and was walked once or twice a day when she had the time. She has not seen him during
bath time, so his behavior is unknown. She is unsure about his behavior when you take his food bowl, treats or toys away.

behavior during intake
Mann was hesitant when coming in to BXACC. He was fearful and pulled back on his leash. He barked and growled when approached. The current owner scanned(-) him and collared him. She leashed him as well and positioned him on the backdrop. His body was low and his tail was tucked. She walked him slowly to the back and she transferred him into a kennel.

BEHAVIOR :
Mann came into our center on 12/19/2015. It is reported that he is shy around strangers, will bark but warm up after a few minutes. It is reported Mann may bark at other dogs but will also solicit play. Behavior around cats in unknown. It is reported Mann played gentle with the family’s 1 year old child. During intake, Mann was fearful, pulling back on his leash, barking and growling when approached by admissions counselor. Mann was nervous to get onto the elevator but did so reluctantly. Mann was a bit nervous upon entering SAFER assessment room, but once he warmed up he was social and friendly. He jumped up to lick assessor’s face during Look item. Mann leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, tail wagging, eyes soft. He hopped and jumped playfully during Tag game, but was also focused on other stimuli in the room. Mann did not pull back his paw on both Squeeze attempts, licking assessor’s hand. He playfully engaged with toy, keeping a firm grip with loose, wiggly body. When off leash with other dogs, Mann is nervous in the yard, but is polite during greeting. The Behavior Team feels Mann would do best with an Experienced adopter. He may benefit from a slow approach/slow introduction. Mann may initially benefit from going home to a calm, quiet, structured environment until he can relax and know what to expect.
