06/16/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/16/17 16:04 Bajie (pronounced baa ji) A1115530 is a small white curly haired male dog who was found walking on a street three days ago in the Bronx. The finder felt bad for Bajie and took him in in hopes an owner would come forward or post lost flyers. The finder isn’t able to keep Bajie any longer due to having another dog and working too many hours. They also stated Bajie appears semi house broken as he used wee wee pads but also “went” around the home, ate dry Pedigree food with chicken and when left alone was well behaved. Bajie wasn’t around children or the other dog due to the dog not being home during his stay. The finder stated Bajie allowed them to place their dogs leash/collar on him and walk him to our BXAC location. During intake Bajie was sweet & allowed all handling. He allowed to be scanned (-), collared and taken pictures of. Bajie didn’t seem to mind being picked up/held at all and was placed into a kennel with ease which was hard for me as I wanted to keep him in my arms.

06/20/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer wrote: Bajie is a 10 year old little guy with a lot of spunk and sweetness packaged away in his little body. As soon as Bajie saw me, he came to the front of his cage to greet me. I asked him if he wanted to take a walk, and after a wag of his tail, we were off. Little Bajie is not a fan of going up and down stairs, but that means you just get an excuse to pick him up and love on him while you head out the door! Once outside, Bajie was ready to go–he walks well on a leash with a little spring in his step. He is a sweet older gentleman who is living proof that age ain’t nothing but a number! Come on down and meet this great guy for yourself!

06/18/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 6/16/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 6/18/17 Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is a bit stiff, his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body stiff, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low, and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. No interest Summary: Baejie appeared a bit fearful during his assessment, having a tense body throughout. He allowed all handling. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: 6/17: When introduced to other dogs off leash at the shelter, Bajie mostly keeps to himself. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Bajie allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: During his initial medical exam, Bajie allowed handling but growled when his tail was touched. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Bajie so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a low level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5): Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Bajie may be intimidated by young children. He needs a slow approach and time to warm up. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: Bajie is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Bajie the option to walk away from any social interaction. Bajie should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Bajie’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Bajie would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
