Best Friend, Children, and Click: Hi my name is ELMO Fast learner, g good in doggie play groups, absolutely adorable cutest pouty lips, good walker, a perfectly 120mEboy..not a ,. squirrel chaser. Come meet me andgive me a gentle chance. ove ELMO # 25960-3 yrs old @ Manhattan ACC ****TO BE KILLED 5/3/18**** Handsome Elmo <3 is a friendly and gentle young boy, who was very shy when he was coming into the shelter, but opened up nicely with a little time and some walks. Elmo is doing very well in playgroup - romping with his male and female peers, he loves to go to the park and to watch people (he doesn`t mind pigeons and sqirrels) and he would be the happiest boy, if he could go home with his new parent(s) soon. Please share this good boy for a nice forever-home! A volunteer writes: Elmo is my favorite "Sesame Street" character because, while enthusiastic, he is shy and as genuine as a child, ready to absorb like a sponge whatever you might want to teach him. Our Elmo is a fast learner. At first, he was timid when he arrived at the care center, but with the help of staff and volunteers--and lets not forget his own peers--Elmo began to open up, participating in playgroups, going to the park, and even showing interest in the tennis balls. We are all so proud of him. Elmo is a very handsome young man, slender, elegant and so attractive in his snow white and bright orange coat. I love his slightly upturned nose and golden eyes. He is gentle, and his growing trust makes him such a likable pet. Elmo still likes us and his friends to be soft with him. Elmo is a good walker, polite meeting other dogs in the street, not a squirrel chaser, and now quite a good listener, coming when called and sitting by my feet upon request or for treats. Elmo has come a long way. Imagine what a star he could be in your home as your forever best friend! Come and meet Elmo at the Manhattan Care Center.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations:: No children (under 13) Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to the high level of fear Elmo displays at the care center, we recommend an adult only home. Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Elmo gives clear warnings when she is uncomfortable and does seem to choose to avoid or retreat when given the opportunity, but if prevented from moving away there is a potential to escalate to higher-level warning behaviors and possible fear-based aggression. It is important to move slowly with Elmo, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow Elmo to initiate interactions with new people. He should never be forced to greet or to interact if he is not comfortable and soliciting attention. My medical notes are...

NOTE FROM A GOOD DOG **** TO BE KILLED - 11/20/2017 **** MEET JAY-JAY - A prime candidate for death at New York City ACC because he is scared :'( And with good reason. He's in a strange new place, he doesn't know anyone, its his first time being away from his family and death is in the air. Some of our favorite dogs are only a memory now just because they had the good sense to be terrified in this scary kill center and we want a different outcome for JayJay. He's young, happy, adorable and lived in harmony with a 16 year old. He could get a little rough sometimes during play but he's a smart dog that can be trained to play and have fun safely. JayJay needs to be pulled by a new hope rescue due to his fear and hesitation, but he's been tolerant with handlers who are familiar to him. He's gradually becoming more and more comfortable, checking in with his handlers for approval and positive attention. JayJay needs a chance in an experienced home. He can learn and thrive in a loving environment. Please don't overlook JayJay and his lone intake pic (which he's still gorgeous in). He's just as deserving as the next pooch.

Anaconda, Andrew Bogut, and Apparently: Friendly and adorable Spike may look like a serious chap but he has a sunny personality is easy to handle on leash and happily playful in the yard. Spike will make the perfect playmate and a wonderful partner for just chilling out on the couch, too. I have been returned :( Intake Date: 3/19/2019 Friendly and Adorable Spike Wants to Win Your Heart Over <3 A volunteer writes: Spike is ready to smile! He may look like a serious chap when you first meet, but take the time to play, pet and get to know him and he'll be sunny side up in a jiffy. We had so much fun on our first date, leisurely strolling around the block while Spike sniffed every snowbank and tree, then joyfully playing with toys indoors. He's the best of both worlds, a consummate gentleman and easy to handle on leash and a happy, play-bowing loon off leash. For an active family looking for the perfect playmate, Spike definitely fits the bill, but he'd make a wonderful partner for just chilling out on the couch, too. Seemingly house trained and ready to come, sit and stay for treats, he's smart and eager to please. So if you're keen to teach, he'll be happy to learn. As open-hearted as he is with us humans, Spike can be very selective with his four-legged playmates, so a home where he'll be able to settle in as your only pet before any new introductions are made (one-on-one, no dog parks, please) would be best.

We have provided the Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan information below. Adoption hours at these facilities is Noon – 8:00 p.m. (6:30 on weekends) If you CANNOT get to the shelter in person and you want to FOSTER OR ADOPT a NYC ACC Dog, you can PRIVATE MESSAGE our Must Love Dogs page for assistance. PLEASE NOTE: You MUST live in NY, NJ, PA, CT, RI, DE, MD, MA, NH, VT, ME or Northern VA. You will need to fill out applications with a New Hope Rescue Partner to foster or adopt a NYC ACC dog. Transport is available if you live within the prescribed range of states. Shelter contact information: Phone number (212) 788-4000 Email adopt@nycacc.org Shelter Addresses: Brooklyn Shelter: 2336 Linden Boulevard Brooklyn, NY 11208 Manhattan Shelter: 326 East 110 St. New York, NY 10029 Staten Island Shelter: 3139 Veterans Road West Staten Island, NY 10309 * NEW NYC ACC RATING SYSTEM * Level 1 Dogs with Level 1 determinations are suitable for the majority of homes. These dogs are not displaying concerning behaviors in shelter, and the owner surrender profile (where available) is positive. Some dogs with Level 1 determinations may still have potential challenges, but these are challenges that the behavior team believe can be handled by the majority of adopters. The potential challenges could include no young children, prefers to be the only dog, no dog parks, no cats, kennel presence, basic manners, low level fear and mild anxiety. Level 2 Dogs with Level 2 determinations will be suitable for adopters with some previous dog experience. They will have displayed behavior in the shelter (or have owner reported behavior) that requires some training, or is simply not suitable for an adopter with minimal experience. Dogs with a Level 2 determination may have multiple potential challenges and these may be presenting at differing levels of intensity, so careful consideration of the behavior notes will be required for counselling. Potential challenges at Level 2 include no young children, single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity, mouthiness, fear with potential for escalation, impulse control/arousal, anxiety and separation anxiety. Level 3 Dogs with Level 3 determinations will need to go to homes with experienced adopters, and the ACC strongly suggest that the adopter have prior experience with the challenges described and/or an understanding of the challenge and how to manage it safely in a home environment. In many cases, a trainer will be needed to manage and work on the behaviors safely in a home environment. It is likely that every dog with a Level 3 determination will have a behavior modification or training plan available to them from the behavior department that will go home with the adopters and be made available to the New Hope Partners for their fosters and adopters. Some of the challenges seen at Level 3 are also seen at Level 1 and Level 2, but when seen alongside a Level 3 determination can be assumed to be more severe. The potential challenges for Level 3 determinations include adult only home (no children under the age of 13), single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity with potential for redirection, mouthiness with pressure, potential escalation to threatening behavior, impulse control, arousal, anxiety, separation anxiety, bite history (human), bite history (dog) and bite history (other). New Hope Rescue Only Dog is not publicly adoptable. Prospective fosters or adopters need to fill out applications with New Hope Partner Rescues to save this dog.

Being Alone, Animals, and Apparently: A SHY, TIMID, BABY PUPPY IS OVERWHELMED AT THE SHELTER.READILY APPROACHES&SEEKS COMFORT FROM STAFF& VOLUNTEERS.BOUNCY, PLAYFUL & POLITEW/OTHER DOGS! Puppy "Rex" Id 52093, e 10 Mos., 53 lbs. of innocence, Waiting for a safe haven, at the Manhattan ACC TO BE KILLED - 1/16/2019 Shy, timid, and slightly overwhelmed at the big, scary shelter, REX is just a baby puppy, barely 10 months old and probably younger, who was found as a stray and dumped at the Manhattan Center. He’s so innocent, vulnerable, his little tail tucked, his eyes confused and the size of saucer plates. He wants so much to get comforted, approaching readily and staying close to staff and volunteers, but still a shy little wallflower. What this sweet, comfort seeking boy needs is OUT of the shelter and into an experienced foster or adoptive home where he will be given the time to decompress and then warm at his own pace to his new home and family. Any of us who can remember our first day of school, or our first time alone without our parents for comfort, can understand what is going through the mind of this gentle hearted little man. Please lend him a hand. Foster or adopt him now and save his life. You can message our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance fostering or adopting REX. A volunteer writes: Rex is much more than just a pretty face, he's a superstar in training! A bouncy playmate, a soft snuggler and an all-round fun dude, this silly puppy has already made 'groupies' of every volunteer lucky enough to spend time with him and now he's looking to expand his fan base. Rex hesitates over the noise and bustle of the city but he's a good leash walker, brave enough to head to the park and back, and even amenable to wearing a coat while he strolls. A wonderful doggie playgroup buddy and very social once he's comfortable with new people.When he's not getting zoomy you'll find him cuddling into laps, peering over shoulders or dropping into a play bow then springing back up for a hug. Rex enjoys chewing treats and chasing toys and he's always happy to share anything he has with his friends. A sweet puppy who'll steal your heart at hello.This beautiful boy needs patience and plenty of positive, gentle guidance to grow into the amazing adult he's destined to be. Are you ready to be President of the hottest fan club in town? Sign up for Team Rex at our Manhattan Care Center today!
