About tarmack: Hello, my name is Tarmack. My animal id is #244303. I am a desexed male black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 3 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 12/24/2025.
Tarmack is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Upon arrival, Tarmack was observed to be highly fearful of handlers. During his first assessment, Tarmack was observed to have a tense body, show whale eye, and lip lick. Overtime, Tarmack has warmed up to handlers. In his most recent handling assessment, Tarmack showed significant improvement, approaching handlers readily and was treat receptive. Unfortunately, Tarmack has been showing a decreasing threshold for arousal. In a recent incident, Tarmack lunged toward a staff member grabbing a staff member's shirt leaving a small tear (no skin contact). Tarmack has been showing promising results with clicker training and the use of pattern games. Medically, Tarmack is apparently healthy.
