06/23/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I got Maggie from the vet tech’s hands. “Such a good girl”, he told me. “We drew her blood and she was fine with it.” We exchanged leashes, and off we went to the yard. Maggie is an older gal dressed in a perfect silvery coat. I see a Boxer in her and may be a Sharpei too, as her muzzle is a bit wrinkled. Her nails are very long and curved. Maggie, sadly, is skin and bones. We will never completely know why, as Maggie came to us as a stray. Her affection is a little hesitant, but she appreciates caresses, gentle handling and is very much happy to return to a kennel with triple bedding. From the moment I left her until I called it a night, Maggie was lying, spread like a very tired traveller, on her comforters. She walks slowly but surely, manages the stairs up and down, and meets through the gate other dogs big and small. Her tail goes up, (not her hackles), then relaxes, and Maggie comes back to me. She did not appreciate confrontation with other dogs during the one playgroup session she attended. Humans are more her cup of tea, mostly when they provide comfort and food. She is quite hungry but proper when she takes treats from my hand, and is even able to sit on command. She does her business right away as we entered our pen. Maggie is a middle-aged dame, likely with an inclement past, and maybe some ailments. All that she really wants right now is shelter, peace of mind and compassion until she falls back on her feet. Maggie needs a home sweet home to recover from her past. Will you be the one opening your heart to her? Maggie is at the Manhattan Care Center and very much in need of rescue.
06/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Maggie walks calmly on leash. She was shy but friendly during the assessment – low body, but trying to stay close. Maggie was shy during handling with a shy body language. She had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. Maggie was easy to handle when chewing on toys Maggie is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. Maggie around other dog is a bit uncomfortable. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, shy body language , mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, or low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you. Playgroup Notes: When off leash with other dogs, Maggie is tense and uncomfortable. She growls and charges after the helper dog when approached.
06/22/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
6/22: When off leash with other dogs, Maggie is tense and uncomfortable. She growls and charges afer the helper dog when approached. The behavior team feels that Maggie would be most comfortable as the only resident dog in a home at this time. She arrived as a stray, so history with dogs outside the shelter is unknown.
