A volunteer writes: How do you spell unbridled enthusiasm for life, the world and all its creatures? J-a-c-k-s-o-n! What a happy boy Jackson is, his tail whirling like a helicopter in his eagerness to get outside and explore. He likes to make new human friends but reserves his happiest smile for his doggie pals. He just LOVES to be close and playing with them and no wonder as he lived with dogs (and cats!) before joining us at the Center. Small, large or in-between, Jackson is not picky about his canine friends and later when were walking through the park and met one of its resident cats he simply stopped and watched her, his body and gaze soft. This is a guy who gets along with everyone! Though Jackson pulls on the leash and will need some training in that area he is much calmer in the park where he can enjoy all the exciting sights and scents of the great outdoors. He gives me hugs on request and comes up on a bench when I pat the empty seat but what he really wants is to keep exploring and soon we're back on our way. His former owner tells us that Jackson lived with two little human siblings and is friendly to children and strangers and that is easy to believe, I don't think Jackson has ever met a person he didn't like. I could see him being a wonderful pet for an active young family, he is a good boy who just needs a little polish to his manners. Jackson is a sweet boy with a big heart, won't you show him that people can have big hearts too?

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper 962049 Jackson was surrendered by his owner of three years. He lived with three adults and two children. Jackson is house and paper trained and has lived with dogs and cats. He is friendly with strangers and children. Jackson pulls a bit on the leash. He was a bit excited and mouthy during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. Jackson was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. Jackson was not interested in toys or rawhide. He rushed in confidently towards the friendly dog, but showed no aggression. 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. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor's hand without applying pressure. Squeeze 2: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor's hand without applying pressure. Food: 2. Dog follows the dish with his tail down, body a bit stiff. Dog lifts head after a bit of pressure from hand to cheek. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog, body soft, tail well above spine level, ears forward.

For more information on adopting please read the following:
https://www.facebook.com/
DO NOT call the shelter and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed.
For more information on a particular dog, email adoption@nycacc.org but ONLY if serious about adopting, and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go unnoticed.

Pet Pardons shared a photo.
Remember 10-yr-old Gino, who was stuck in a high-kill Los Angeles shelter earlier this week? He's out! But still needs us.
See his (pre-rescue) video here: htt...p://www.youtube.com/
A few wonderful people worked together to save Gino, who, as a senior chihuahua, most likely would not have made it out alive otherwise. They are fostering him temporarily, but urgently need to find him a forever home!
One of his rescuers, Madonna, says of Gino: "I can't even describe the love and energy he brings," and "he is incredibly sweet and loves to sit on a lap. He likes to rub his eyes (gently) on my clothing; seems like a nuzzler."
Between being violently attacked by another dog and spending lonely, scary nights in a shelter, Gino has been through enough. Who can open their home and heart to this lovebug and take care of him through his golden years??
For more information or to discuss adoption, please contact Madonna at *** madcacciatore@gmail.com ***.

A volunteer writes: Mario is so quiet in his kennel, head on his paws, observing the activity around him. He's a little shy but responds to a soft voice and touch. As we walk I have the chance to admire his well groomed white coat. His weight is perfect for his size, his tail wags from time to time and he checks up as we go. Likely housetrained, he 'went' as soon as we were out the door. Mario was fine being tethered for some pictures and actually seemed to enjoy sitting back and watching the activity in the park. Ignoring other dogs that pass us by, he jumps up on the park bench to sit beside me. He enjoys being petted, but is a low key, quiet guy so does not overdo the affectionate interaction. He's so handsome that people stop to ask about him. Later that day when I unlatched his kennel he happily (but very low key) came out for a walk. He's a lovely boy who will make a gentle, sweet BFF. He's looking - are you? Ask to meet him today.
