05/05/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Swade was a bit timid when I first met him, wondering maybe why I wanted to put a scarf around his neck. He obliged, though. He perked up seeing other dogs, males and females playing in an adjacent pen and went to salute them, tail wagging. He is understandably lost and overwhelmed as he had a home, an owner and even a playmate just yesterday. After a while spent together, Swade comes when called and accepts a thorough petting after initially being hand shy. His face is puzzled. He takes my treats politely and even sits upon request. I forgot to say that he relieved himself at once as we reached the street. Swade walks slowly around the block and meets uneventfully little and big dogs as well as passersby. He is a handsome middle-aged gentleman wearing a nice milk and chocolate coat decorated with many calluses. A mass hangs from his belly, clearly un-attended by his former owner who left him with us as she did not have time for him anymore. Swade comes with sparse but good recommendations. He is known to be shy initially with strangers. Swade, I bet is a cool guy who needs to be known a little first to experience his qualities….Come and meet him at the Manhattan Care Center, get to know him and take him home as your new best and faithful friend.

05/05/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Swade walks calmly on leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Swade was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. He was not interested in toys or rawhide. Swade was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Swade was surrendered to us. According to his previous owner he has not been around children or cats so his behaviors are unknown. He did live with another American Pit Bull Terrier and was very respectful and tolerant of him and was affectionate. They did not play too much as they both had low levels of energy but when they did it was gentle. Swade will snap at people he does not know but it has never resulted in a bite. Aside from snapping at unfamiliar people who approach the house or family member he will have stiff body but retreat behind owner until he feels comfortable with them”. Because of his owner surrender the behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. 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.
