A volunteer writes: Two of my favorite breeds lumped into one pooch….Here is Flash, a cross between a Shepherd and a Rotweiler, an elderly and still quite majestic dog found as a stray. Flash must have been a giant masterpiece while in his prime. His lush and shiny coat is beautiful. His copper eyes and huge ears steal the show making me forget that his hinds are so weak and sometimes giving up…Flash could not walk when he arrived at the care center. With the help of pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications, he is strolling valiantly in the yard and even for a short distance in the street. He does slowly stairs, up and down. Flash does not care about his hips, he is ready, willing and able… A brave little soldier…He has a mighty appetite and crunches heartily on dry lung. His weight is good and besides being arthritic, Flash looks healthy. He seems to like the attention, does not mind me outfitting him with a scarf and accepts my caresses. He is a bit lost and trying to keep his bearings mentally and physically, so at this point, I have not been able to get a smile on his face. He is part of that admirable group…..Survivor ………When time came to go back to his kennel, Flash had to be helped. He was fine with me lifting his shoulders and his hips. He is a nice dog who aced his behavioral evaluation and is ready to start a new page in his life with an owner who understands and loves older dogs. Flash is at the Manhattan Care Center and together we are hoping for a miracle.

11/11/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Saber pulls a bit on the leash. He was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. He was calm and relaxed during handling. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Saber took the toy away with a soft body language. Saber did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. 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: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy.

Due to medical concern, Saber has not been off-leash in a pen with another dog while in our care. When greeting another dog from behind an enclosure, Saber approaches the front of the pen and briefly sniffs the dog, body neutral.
