A volunteer writes: Ruh roh. Hold on to your hearts, people! They’re about to be swiftly stolen, pilfered, swiped, utterly robbed in a caper for the ages. The number one suspect? A boy they call “Scooby.” A 1 year-old, delectable tater-tot on legs, said to frequent parks, dole out kisses, and engage in endless, happy wags. You and the gang will need to split up to cover the most ground. Where oh where would a known wiggle-butt this handsome – with a fawn coat as soft as butter, a smile that could brighten the darkest day, and warm, hazel eyes that seem to look right through you not just at you – possibly be hiding? ZOINKS! You forgot one very important detail. How much Scooby is said to love (and I mean LOVE) the company of human friends. Nope no mystery here. All the clues are right in front of you. Scooby lights up at the sight of friendly face offering a walk, stays right by their side as they stroll together to the park, leans his fully body into their legs as they pet him all over, and time and time again stands up to give his new best friend a giant hug. CREEPERS! Yes, that’s it. Where oh where would a known wiggle-butt this handsome – with impeccable manners, who’s as sweet as a pie, a true lover of people, a beautiful, young soul wrapped in an adorably compact body – where would he be? “Scooby, yes, you. Where are you?” The answer is now clear. But as you and the gang rejoin and head right to the scene of the crime, you realize you’re much too late. Your hearts, each and every one, are gone right at the sight of him. Stolen right from within your chest. And all you can say as you rub those ears and look into those eyes is, “Scooby, old buddy, old pal, old friend…welcome home.” Scooby is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

03/18/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/15/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 3/17/2017 Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body, tail wag. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, grabs leash briefly, settles easily Squeeze 1: 3. Dog is soft in body and eye, and moves his legs/body so that the Assessor is unable to hold the paw Flank squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, brief bout of interest, firm grip with paw, then releases easily. Summary: Scooby displayed high energy and movement throughout his assessment, open mouth pant and wiggly. He remained social throughout and displayed no concerning behavior. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Selective: These dogs can succeed with certain other dogs, but may be more selective or picky. They may dislike certain ‘types’ of dogs or styles of dog play so they may require extra supervision when interacting with other dogs. PLAYGROUP: Scooby was initially muzzled for his interactions and was observed stiffen, growl and lunge toward dogs before attempting to mount. He has become more comfortable interacting with select females and will engage in chase play, but remains tense and will vocalize. He arrived to the care center with a young, male dog but as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends not placing Scooby into a home with other dogs at this time until his behaviors can be followed up on outside of the care center. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/15/17 During his initial medical examination, Scooby tolerated all handling.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) _X_Single-pet home: Scooby has a concerning level of arousal when interacting with other dogs. It may stem from sexually motivated behaviors, but we cannot say with certainty if it will adjust or change with altering. We recommend slow introductions to any dogs in the future. _x_Recommend no dog parks: Future introductions should be conducted on a one on one basis. Potential challenges: _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: When on-leash around other dogs Scooby stiffens, barks growls and snaps; he is not easily distracted or redirected. We recommend exercising caution when walking Scooby in areas highly trafficked by other dogs.

03/17/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Scooby was initially muzzled for his interactions and was observed stiffen, growl and lunge toward dogs before attempting to mount. He has become more comfortable interacting with select females and will engage in chase play, but remains tense and will vocalize. He arrived to the care center with a young, male dog but as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends not placing Scooby into a home with other dogs at this time until his behaviors can be followed up on outside of the care center. 3/17: Scooby displays a tense body, growls and lunges when greeting through the barrier. He is muzzled for the interaction. He remains stiff bodied in the pen, rushes in and jumps on the back of the female greeter dog while growling. 3/18: Scooby is again muzzled for his interaction based on his behaviors yesterday. He is still tense but only briefly sniffs the helper dog before moving away and attempting to remove his muzzle. When the female helper solicits play he looks up but does not respond. He is taken out of then pen, his muzzle is removed and he is re-introduced. He, again, is a bit tense but appears to be solely focused on mounting the female; he may growl when he is not able to. Scooby does not play when solicited and was not offered correction from the helper dog. 3/25: Scooby engages in chase play with a social female. He does become aroused and will growl when he catches her, but is able to de-escalate himself. 3/28: Scooby engages in chase play with a female dog. He continues to display high arousal during play. He requires handler intervention to de-escalate himself today. 3/29: Scooby engages in chase play with a group of female dogs. He continues to display high arousal during play. He follows a select female dog with a tense body, and begins to growl. Scooby requires handler intervention to de-escalate and remove him from the pen.
