A volunteer writes:    “When you’re smiling, when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you…..”  And that’s what I wanted to sing when I spent time with Beany.   She has the best smile, all the way into her eyes and her pointy stand up ears.   She’s a gorgeous brindle girl, her coat is lush and groomed, her weight perfect for her size, she’s housetrained, happy to be out for a walk and then in the backyard to play.   Bring out a ball and her eyes sparkle, her tail wags and when I throw it into the pool she’s right in after it.  Smart girl!  She’s fun and friendly, making friends with those that want to meet her, wagging her tail in a polite how do you do.    Beany feels that she brings enough into a new home that another dog isn’t needed and I totally agree.   She’s everything you want in a canine friend all rolled into one stunning friendly package.

04/28/2016 WEB MEMO
Beany’s Foster Family Writes: Beany is a super sweet gal. She may appear distant at first but she is only trying to determine if you are safe and interesting. Treats might help win her over more quickly. Once she believes you are her person, she is a devoted, patient, sweet, loving lady. She really likes company and will follow you around the house, wherever you go. She won’t join you on the couch without an invitation but will sit there staring at you hoping you will catch on quickly. Likewise, when you return, she won’t jump on you but that waggy tail, eager stare and circling you will let you know just how much she missed you. Beany gets overexcited and pulls heavily dogs and so I have not risked letting her get close at this point. With patience and training, Beany will be able to overcome her eagerness, but it is something her future owner will need to consider. Beany is not a good candidate for dog parks at this time. One thing you should know is we are in a 5 flight walk up and so even though Beany is super excited to go out, she waits for me on every landing and never pulls on me. She is very sensitive to my situation and puts my needs and safety before hers (she needs to pee pretty desperately by now).

05/20/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Beany has been social with her human caretakers during her long stay at the care center, but has shown significant reactivity toward dogs. This behavior is intensifying as her stay lengthens, and she has begun lunging hard for other dogs in their kennels and biting at them through the bars when being walked past them. She has redirected at least once onto her handler, though her bite did not break skin. Her current kennel environment is providing repeat opportunities to rehearse the behavior. It is in her best interest to move to a stable home environment where she can be provided with counterconditioning and behavior modification to address her behavior toward other dogs. We recommend safety tools (head halter, no pull harness, muzzle) while this behavior is being addressed in order to keep Beany and those around her safe. Due to her behavior toward other dogs both through barriers and in playgroup, we request that Beany be the only resident dog. She would do best with an Experienced adopter. 4/19 SAFER: Beany came into our center after a member of the public found her as a stray. Since then Beany has spent some time in a foster home. Foster reports Beany was very well behaved in the home. Although no children in Foster’s home, it is reported Beany is unphased by children she meets on walks. Foster reports Beany would become rigid and lunge at dogs she saw along walks. Foster has taught the commands “sit, stay, come, down, leave it, paw, kiss, wait, no, go” Beany allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, body soft. She stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, open mouth. Beany followed at the end of the leash during Tag game, a bit distracted. She did not pull her paw back on both Squeeze attempts, sniffed assessor’s hand during second Squeeze. Beany playfully engaged with toy, kept a firm grip with loose body. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture, mouth open Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, a bit distracted Squeeze 1/ 2: 1. Dog does not pull back paw, sniffs hand Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip, body loose, does not place her body between you and the toy.

02/10/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Beany was initially uncomfortable interacting with other dogs but once she warmed up she enjoyed engaging in play with both males and females. However her behavior appears to have changed since she returned from foster where it was reported that Beany is leash reactive. She exhibited extreme barrier reactivity once let into the pen. She hard barked and lunged continuously at the gate. The behavior department feels that Beany could go to a home with another dog but a thorough introduction must be performed. When off leash with other dogs Beany is initially uncomfortable but quickly warms up. She engages in soft play with a group of females. 2/10 update: Beany engages in bouncy play with males and females. She will often mimic the play style of the dog she is interacting with. 3/7 update: Beany’s behavior appears to have changed since she returned from foster. She exhibited extreme barrier reactivity once let into the pen. She hard barked and lunged continuously at the gate. This reactivity may be based in fear according to her previous play group notes or in frustration, manifesting as on-leash reactivity while in the care of her foster. 3/8 update: Beany was muzzled today before being introduced off leash to the helper dog. Once she was let in the pen she rushed up to him, stiffened her body, placed her chin-over him and low growled. Due to her behavior, the dogs were separated and the interaction was ended.

Behavior:

Beany pulls a bit on leash.  She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag. Beany was calm and relaxed during handling. She followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a calm and relaxed body language when playing tag with assessor. Beany took the toy away but had soft body language.Beany did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home.

Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.

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, ears relaxed, wagging tail, open mouth.

Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy.

Update: 3/8/16

Since Beany’s last SAFER she has spent some time in a foster home. The foster reported that Beany is very well behaved and has not had any major issues while in her care. The foster did state that Beany does need some managing when on walks though due to behavior displayed when greeted with other dogs on the street. Beany is said to become rigid in body and attempts to lunge at dogs that come near her. Due to the handling necessary during her walks and the behaviors displayed during playgroup we recommend that Beany go to a home with an experienced adopter without other dogs.

Beany has been social with her human caretakers during her long stay at the care center, but has shown significant reactivity toward dogs.

Group Behavior:

Beany was initially uncomfortable interacting with other dogs but once she warmed up she enjoyed engaging in play with both males and females. She is polite and will engage in bouncy play, mimicing the play style of the dog she is engaging with. She arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department feels that Beany could go to a home with another playful dog, male or female.

When off leash with other dogs Beany is initially uncomfortable but quickly warms up. She engages in soft play with a group of females.

2/10 update: Beany engages in bouncy play with males and females. She will often mimic the play style of the dog she is interacting with.

3/7 update:

Beany’s behavior appears to have changed since she returned from foster. She exhibited extreme barrier reactivity once let into the pen. She hard barked and lunged continuously at the gate. This reactivity may be based in fear according to her previous play group notes or in frustration, manifesting as on-leash reactivity while in the care of her foster.

3/8 update:

Beany was muzzled today before being introduced off leash to the helper dog. Once she was let in the pen she rushed up to him, stiffened her body, placed her chin-over him and low growled. Due to her behavior, the dogs were separated and the interaction was ended.

A volunteer writes: Beany looks like a furry tomboy with a gutsy and determined demeanor but she is a friendly, sociable and compliant little gal, quite pleasant to spend time with. She is ready when you are in her kennel, is leashed in no time and is a good walker, doing her business as we stroll around the block. Being night time, we did not encounter any other dogs but we neared a fair amount of them, “doing” the care center’s hallways. As she posed for pictures while tethered on the wall, Beany was sandwiched between a Chi and a very handsome Pittie. She was totally cool and relaxed with it. Beany is quite a catch, well nourished, super healthy looking and dressed superbly in a lush mahogany and latte exotic coat. She is said to be a cross between a Pittie and a Sheppie and the result is mighty beautiful. Free in the yard, Beany comes right away when called and sits obediently on command. She takes treats very politely from my hand. She hops on the bench upon request, runs briefly after a ball, but does not play with it. Beany might come accross as a tough gal but she is really a very cute and lovely pooch. I very much enjoyed my time with her, and so hope that soon enough this gorgeous young girl will find a wonderful owner or family to welcome her. Come and meet Beany at the Manhattan Care Center and make her your new forever best friend.

Beany’s Foster Family Writes:

Once she believes you are her person, she is a devoted, patient, sweet, loving lady. She really likes company and will follow you around the house, wherever you go. She won’t join you on the couch without an invitation but will sit there staring at you hoping you will catch on quickly. Likewise, when you return, she won’t jump on you but that waggy tail, eager stare and circling you will let you know just how much she missed you. Every morning when we get up she is eager to get going but doesn’t interfere with your routine. She stays close by so you are reminded that it is time to go out. She is trained to be a real lady and step off the sidewalk to take care of her business in the gutter. She is very calm around the house and is willing, if not hopefully that you’ll grab one of her toys and play some catch or tug or anything. She has a lot of energy so if you want to take her for a morning jog, she sure would appreciate that. Beany is house trained, but that’s not to say there won’t be a slight loss of bladder control now and again. She tries and wants to do the right thing and you can help by getting her on a schedule and keeping to it as much as possible. Regulating her water intake, especially at night will help. Beany gets overexcited and pulls heavily dogs and so I have not risked letting her get close at this point. With patience and training, Beany will be able to overcome her eagerness, but it is something her future owner will need to consider. Beany is not a good candidate for dog parks at this time. One thing you should know is we are in a 5 flight walk up and so even though Beany is super excited to go out, she waits for me on every landing and never pulls on me. She is very sensitive to my situation and puts my needs and safety before hers (she needs to pee pretty desperately by now).While Beany is mostly quiet in the home, she barks when she hears someone at the door. She doesn’t carry on for long and will usually settle once you tell her everything is okay. Beany does not show much interest in toys at home, but will if you play with her.
