Let's get to know each other a bit more...
A volunteer writes: I don't know if it's that sweet little face, those gentle brown eyes, or all the wiggling that goes on when I pet him, but I just find it so darn hard to pull myself away from Wapo. He can be a bit shy with new people, but don't worry, that doesn't last long and before you know it, you'll be part of his growing circle of friends. He's a really friendly and affectionate boy who'll happily do his little wiggle dance when you show him any kind of attention...or give him a treat! He has a medium-to-high energy level and knows the commands sit, come, and lie down. He was relaxed and gentle with the two large dogs he previously lived with, as well as with dogs who used to visit him. He's also been a very good boy at playgroup here at the shelter. Wonderful Wapo has become a Favorite with staff and volunteers...come and see why by meeting him at the Brooklyn ACC shelter where he's excitedly awaiting his fur-ever home.

Summary:: According to Wapo's previous owner, she stated that he has spent time in the home with two other large dogs and he was relaxed and affectionate. When playing with other dogs he is gentle. Here at the Care Center, Wapo displays a soft wiggly body when greeting both a novel male and female dog. He engages in high energy bouncy-play, with a few body bumps and persistent paw slaps. Wapo's high energy level and paw slaps quickly overwhelm the other dogs, but he does listen to correction briefly. Due to his behavior around other dogs at the Care Center, the Behavior Department recommends that Wapo be placed in a home with other dogs who are highly socialized and tolerant of his high energy behavior. 5/2: When off leash at the Care Center, Wapo is introduced to a novel female dog. He is initially nervous as he explores the pen with a lowered head/body with low tail wags. His body softens when he greets the female at the gate. He engages in cooperative chase play with leaps and bounces and does not attempt to mount the female. 5/3: Wapo was introduced to a juvenile male. He engages in bouncy play, with dramatic play bows. He mounts the puppy at the end of the play session. 5/17: Wapo returned to the group after recovering from CIRDC, and greeted a novel female dog. Wapo initially fixates on the greeter’s rear end before soliciting play. When the greeter corrects him, he walks away for a few minutes. Further, into his session, he returns to engage in play and backs away when he is overcorrected. 5/18: Wapo engaged in bouts of play, and can be a bit persistent; constantly paw slapping. He leans and lowers himself to the floor when the other dog does the same. 5/19: WaPo was introduced to a novel neutered male today. He greets the male with a wiggly body, but quickly overwhelms the other male with his high energy and paw slaps. 5/20: Wapo greets a novel female with a soft body and wanders the yard.
