A volunteer writes: An imposing presence in his kennel, Kane is leashed and steps out carefully. Once outside, Kane peed enough to raise the Hudson River by 5 inches confirming that hes housetrained per his former owner. Kane is a pokey, stop and smell the roses walker on leash, happy to amble along enjoying the good scents along the way. Surrendered to our care as his owner is ill, we are told that he is shy at first but will warm up after a few minutes, is housetrained when walked regularly, is well behaved when left home alone, doesn?t guard his things other than his treats, enjoys balls and playing fetch, is crate trained and OK for up to 5 hours, knows sit, come, stay settle down and gimme 5. Kane is a bit unsettled without the home and family hes known all his life but is working hard to deal with it. He showed off his sit and his down, alternates between being gentle and grabby for treats, put his paw in my lap, and when he got comfortable with me got a bit silly and playful and his tail started to wag. Kane seems to not like his head touched, flinching away when attempted. Change is hard for all of us, but when you are older and used to a certain way of things, its that much harder. Kane is hoping that he gets a chance to show a new person or family that hes ready to learn and love again. Let?s give him that chance.
