03/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A pretty young gal, a girly girl, overly thin and dressed in a most attractive cinnamon and chocolate coat. Annie, our little orphan is wary…She lost her family and her home as her owner was evicted….The care center is so foreign to her although it would probably feel like a vacation away from home if her master was with her….Annie is skittish but does acknowledge her friends. She is hesitant to be leashed and uses her right paw to prevent me to rope her…Free in a pen, she usually roams a little then hops on the bench next to me, allowing me to caress her. Cuddly pictures are a nono as Annie is VERY camera shy…She will turn her head and look away…She is as hungry as a bear, seeking food on the ground and snatches roast beef out of my hand. Treats have created a bond between us and Annie now lets herself go into my arms for comfort. Annie was owned since tender puppyhood and is known to be timid at first with strangers but plays well with kids and adults. She would be playful, lively, loving and slept with her owner. She would be well behaved when left alone in the house and house trained. Annie has not shown any interest in other dogs while with me. I guess that playgroups with her peers might tell us more. Annie is at the Manhattan Care Center, shaken up by this untoward turn in her life and dreaming of a steady home and the love of a master. Another volunteer writes: Inside that oh so serious face is a snuggle girl looking for a partner. Quiet and gorgeous in her caramel color coat, she snuggles, gives kisses and joined me on the bench draping herself over my lap. Annie loves under the skin scratches lifting her head like a cat. As we sit in a pen she’s alert and follows the sounds of birds chirping, and then looks at me with soft and confused eyes….Annie lived with a family until they lost their home and the loss of her family is heavy on her heart and she’s doing the best she can. Her family described her as affectionate and loving, housetrained, well behaved when left home alone and she slept with her owner. We want to see Annie smile again and know that surrounded by the love of a new person or family she will. I loved my time with Annie and promised her we’d find her a happily ever after. Won’t you help me make my promise to this gorgeous girl come true? To watch the video please copy and paste this link to your browser bar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyHREzUbDD4

03/20/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Annie came into our center as an owner surrender citing housing issues. It is reported she has been around neighborhood children, gentle, exuberant, relaxed, and playful with them. Owner reports Annie is shy for a few minutes with strangers. It is reported Annie isn’t bothered if anyone touches her Food, Toys, Treats. Owner states Annie is housebroken and well behaved when home alone. During intake, Annie allowed all handling. Annie was nervous upon entering SAFER assessment room, tail tucked. She required a significant amount of time and treats to warm up to assessor in order to approach for handling; at first only accepting treats tossed on the floor but eventually taking them from assessor’s hand. Annie allowed her head to be cupped in assessors hands, a bit tense and cautious. She stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, tail down, ears back, mouth closed. Annie was a bit distracted during Tag game, cautious and a bit tense during first pass, but approached assessor at end. She gently pulled her paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Annie showed no interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as owner reports she enjoys playing, squeaky toys and games of fetch, chase, wrestling and tug. She did not approach the helper dog, exited. The Behavior Team feels Annie would do best with an Experienced adopter. She will benefit from a slow introduction with treats offered so Annie can approach her new adopters at her own pace. Annie would benefit initially from a calm, quiet, structured environment so she can relax and know what to expect. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is a bit tense and cautious; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, mouth closed, ears back. Tag: 2. Dog is a bit distracted, approaches assessor at end of game. Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy 1. No interest. Dog – dog 2. Dog does not approach the helper dog, exits.

03/22/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
During intial interaction, Annie was uncomfortable during off leash socilization. Over time, however, Annie has shown interest in appproaching and interacting with calmer dogs. Previous owner reports that “When Annie sees female dogs on the street she barks, growls and pulls towards them.” – however, no information is provided on how Annie behaves in-home with other dogs. Based on this information the behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing Annie into a home with other dogs as well as allowing her time to acclimate to her new surroundings before introducing her to any resident dogs. She may be most comfortable around calmer, respectful dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Annie is nervous in the yard environment, and is avoidant of the male greeter. 3/23 update: Annie is fearful and runs away from the helper dog. She crouches down with a nervous body when sniffed. 3/24 update: Annie is still uncomfortable but gains confidence during an interaction with two dogs that allow her to approach at her own pace. She continues to sniff and offers a gentle paw slap as solicitation before walking away. 3/26 update: Annie allows greeting from a polite female; she slowly approaches to sniff when the other dog walks away.
