Angela
Hello, my name is Angela. My animal id is #20822. I am a desexed female white dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 6 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender – aco on 15-Feb-2018.
02/23/18 Angela is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. she is suitable for an owner with dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Blue-eyed beauty Angela is looking for a forever home full of snuggles, snacks, and walks. This sweet girl not only has the looks, but is gentle and sweet. She’s the type of dog to lick your hands through the bars and give you puppy-dog eyes you can’t refuse. Easy on the leash and happy to do her business outside, Angela is a quiet girl looking for a couch to relax on–could it be yours? Come and meet her at the Brooklyn ACC today!
My medical notes are…
Weight: 51.2 lbs

She was brought in as stray with one other resident dog but limited information was provided, so her past behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Angela be the only resident dog. 2/16: Angela was uncomfortable with handling, giving the handler a clear warning-stiff body, when an attempt was made to place a collar on him. Her warning was respected and attempts to place a collar on him were suspended. She greeted a novel male dog through the gate, and immediately lung, growled and hard bark at the other dog.

Recommendations comments:: _X_ Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Angela has shown during playgroup, we feel that Angela should not visit dog parks and be the only resident dog. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Angela associate dogs with things she enjoys like toys or treats.
