Keiji was a bit of a lost soul upon his release.  His first week in the shelter, found him standing at the back of his kennel, just watching.  He seemed to form a good relationship with at least two kennel techs.  When I met him the first time, he was polite, but had no interest in meeting me.  He is also housebroken and was anxious to get outside.  Once in the exercise yard, he spent his time avoiding humans and fondly watching the dogs who were getting walked.  The second time I went to visit Keiji, he came out of his run and was seemingly happy to see me.  Again, he took the opportunity to void outside.  In the exercise area, he did a few spins around the run, but quickly became engaged in a game of ball toss.  He knows what a ball is.  Affection...not so much.  I had to wonder if he didn't belong to a young man?  He was easier to catch and leash this trip (he actually went to the employee, instead of having to be cornered) and he allowed me to run my hands over him, although I noted the longer I poked and prodded, the more nervous he was becoming.  So we stopped.  But he made no moves to react, he just started to tremble and drool.  Going back to the kennel, he was excited to sniff all the smells and when we got back inside the shelter, his face lit up when we encountered one of his favorite technicians.  She also feeds the dogs.  So he is able to make associations with people.  He was less anxious on this visit.  Keiji has had no leash training or obedience training of any kind.  He rode well in the car (he was loose).  I walked him when I got home before putting him in a crate.  We encountered two loose dogs and he was fine with both dogs.  The puppy was very submissive and sweet, the older dog was quite aggressive and Keiji looked positively astounded that someone would bare their teeth and growl at him.  We walked on and left the dogs behind.  Interesting enough, when Stacy found us walking and was there to take him back to the kennel.  He went bonkers greeting her and without a second glance jumped into her van with the assortment of 9 year old girls.  He wasn't apprehensive about them either.  She got the door of the crate open and he resisted mildly, but then went in.  He was given a french fry and he was happy with the treat.  Stacy tells me that he is still very lovey with her and responsive.  It may be that Keiji needs to find HIS person.  He is a very non-demanding dog.  While he has been good with the children he has met, again, I would only consider placing him in a home with older teens or adults, unless he tells us otherwise.  Dogs don't seem to be an issue.  He could only go to a home with a female dog and would have to meet the dog before adoption is finalized.  He is unknown with cats.
