GONE 05/11/17

Please Share:

Manhattan Center

My name is EMMYLOU. My Animal ID # is A1110815.
I am a spayed female white and tan am pit bull ter mix. The shelter thinks I am about 2 YEARS

I came in the shelter as a STRAY on 05/02/2017 from NY 10458, owner surrender reason stated was STRAY.

05/10/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Emmylou A1110815 is at risk due to New Hope Only behavior

MOST RECENT MEDICAL INFORMATION AND WEIGHT
05/06/2017 Exam Type PRE/POST S/N – Medical Rating is 2 NC – MINOR CONDITIONS NOT CONTAGIOUS, Behavior Rating is NONE, Weight 41.8 LBS.

Pre-surgical exam, anesthesia, and surgery performed by ASPCA. Green linear tattoo placed on ventral abdomen.

05/02/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/02/17 18:56 Basic information: Emmylou was brought in as a stray. The finder found her on the street; the finder placed Emmylou in his car and brought her to the shelter. No other information could be provided during intake. Intake Behavior: During intake Emmylou was relaxed with soft body. Emmylou allowed to be scanned (negative), collared, pictured, and placed in a dog kennel.

05/05/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: In the best color-coordination that nature has to offer, Miss Emmy Lou’s soft, sparking eyes perfectly match the light caramel in her coat. She’s a beauty! Easily leashed and ready for a walk, Emmy pottied the moment we were out the door, and we headed to the park. Lively and tail waggy, it’s clear she’s enjoying this time as she looks up at all passersby with a smile. Emmy joined us a recent mom. Her coat is soft and clean, she’s friendly, and excited to see other dogs in the park. Emmy likes to chase the squirrels, and when they climb the fence she looks up at them and I can almost hear her thinking, ‘I’d love to be able to climb that fence, too’. A treat, and a soft pull on her leash, and we’re on the move again. Emmy doesn’t mind being tethered for pictures, although gets herself tangled up every now and then as she comes in for a kiss and a hug. A perfect sit earns her a treat, and she’s amazingly patient as I take more photos. She’s a tiny little peanut, ready to be pampered and spoiled in her new home.

05/10/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 5/2/17 Unaltered Female, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 5/3/17 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 3. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Jumps up on assessor, grabs the leash, has trouble settling. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Emmylou became quickly over aroused during tag, jumping up and biting the leash repeatedly. She did settle after a little bit. She was social throughout and allowed all handling. PLAYGROUP: Based on observed reactivity to dogs in the care center, EmmyLou is muzzled for off leash introduction. EmmyLou rushes into the pen while growling and chases after the helper dog with a tense body. She jumps on the back of the helper dog while loudly vocalizing, growling, and attempting to bite. EmmyLou is not easily interrupted and her leash is picked up to remove her from the yard. Based on the observed behaviors The behavior department advises strongly against placing EmmyLou into a home with other dogs. Caution and vigilance should be exercised when walking EmmyLou through areas that contain high dog traffic. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/2/17 During her initial medical exam, Emmylou was social. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Emmylou so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center she has been active and enthusiastic. She may have a low threshold for arousal and needs guidance to learn how to appropriately channel that energy when she becomes overstimulated. She will need daily mental and physical stimulation and exercise, and a force-free, positive reinforcement-based training class may help her to learn impulse control and to train desirable behaviors that can be rewarded.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_Single-pet home _X_Recommend no dog parks _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to the intensity/severity of Emmylou’s behavior around other dogs, the behavior department believes placement with a New Hope rescue would benefit her best at this time to further assess this behavior in a stable environment before permanent placement in a home. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended when introducing or exposing Emmylou to new and unfamiliar situations _X_No young children (under 5): Due to how quickly Emmylou becomes over aroused and begins jumping up on people, we recommend a home without young children. Older children who are comfortable around large, jumpy dogs should have an in depth interaction prior to adoption. Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: Emmylou is quick to jump up on people. It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_Social hyper-arousal: Emmylou becomes quickly aroused, jumping up and leash biting. It is recommended that people interact with her in calm manner and that she be rewarded with treats for remaining calm around people. _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center Emmylou has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking, growling, and snapping. Emmylou may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs and novel stimuli that may startle her. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. _X_Leash-biting: Emmylou is quick to grab the leash in her mouth. We recommend walking her with a toy in her mouth and not engaging with her if she grabs the leash. Positive reinforcement, reward based training only should be used.

    Emmylou is beautiful! She may not enjoy the company of other dogs much (at least, not at the shelter), but based on the volunteer write-up and the video, she loves people! This girl is sure to be a wonderful companion!

      Not a good month, not enough fosters or adopters being reached but we know they are out there look what happened with Ice, the phone rang off the hook at both shelters! We want all dogs in homes or with fosters unless truly vicious. We need to reach a ton more Rescues fosters and or Adopters maybe Urgent could Run some ads if we ask what do you think?

    Earth Angels, please FLOOD the office of Department of Investigations with DEMANDS for an
    investigation into NYACC, Bill de Blasio, Risa Weinstock, Sean Malloy. We have to rattle
    cages big time so they LOSE the election. We have to go NO KILL> We are their only hope.
    Call, email, contact. Have documentation and DEMAND an investigation.

      Other than De Blasio, the other people mentioned don’t run for election. Since he’s already getting major backing, looks like he’ll be the democratic candidate. However, I don’t understand why you’re calling for the head of the BACC manager and not the MACC manager, when they’re the shelter that euthanizes the most animals. BACC has actually improved under the new guy. Many dogs are being kept alive for several months, which was unheard of a year ago.

        Unless the policy and regime changes, the high kill policies will stay in place.
        DeBlasio promised he would make NYC NO KILL. There needs to be a clean sweep.
        If any of these people stay after a hopefully new mayor takes office nothing will change. Frankly, they all need to be replaced with people that believe in no kill.

    Total bullshit to murder these dogs. And totally unacceptable! These are God’s creatures you are murdering for no good reason. You will get what you deserve sooner or later and it can’t be harsh enough!

    My heart breaks for her! First she was separated from her puppies as she came in without them so who knows what her tragic story was as to how that happened and then they kill her! Pebbles was also killed this week who had recently had puppies! It’s not the dog’s fault they get pregnant and if they act up a bit, given the fact that they were recent mothers who can blame them? Both Emmy Lou and Pebbles were darling dogs. Emmy Lou may not have gotten along with other dogs but I bet there are lots of families that would love just one dog. Should be relegated to NH for that and then appear on the list one time and then killed? Shame on you NYACC!
