About tiger eye: Hello, my name is Tiger Eye. My animal id is #217917. I am a desexed male brown dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 2 months old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 1/2/2025.
Tiger Eye is at-risk due to behavior concerns. Upon intake, he was tense bodied with a tucked tail, and lip licking, but with a slow approach he warms up quickly. Tiger Eye was brought to the Care Center due to being reactive towards a child in the home. His previous owners reported him to also be on-leash reactive towards strangers and unfamiliar dogs, escalating to hard barking and growling. In the care centers, he is social with handlers at times but has been reported to growl and lunge at both staff and members of the public on the street. Recently there was an incident where Tiger Eye bit a MOP on the arm during his street walk, but there was no broken skin and handler had to use intense leash pressure to redirect him. When returning to kennel, he has been observed to baulk and muscle as to be used as he will escalate to mouthing handlers hands. Medically, Tiger Eye is apparently underweight.
