When the microchip scanner was presented to her, she backed up and ducked when scanned. When the scanner was removed she approached teh couneslor again.
09/27/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Bindie was left tethered to the fence of the Care Center in the middle of the night, so unfortunately I can’t tell you what her favorite things are or who she’s lived with before. But I can tell you some of things that make me think she is one sweet lady!! Some might call her overweight, but I think she is just plain majestic! I mean, who else can look so regal on a Kuranda bed?! She has the sweetest frosted face and her eyes are full of stories and wisdom. She mostly walks right at my side on leash, and if she pulls towards something she seems very aware of her size and does so only lightly. She is very friendly and has a wonderful calm, collected aura about her. She loves treats and already knows “sit” and “paw.” When I let her off leash in the yard she needs to scope everything out first (she’s very captivated by rodents!), but then wags her way over to me, gently puts her paws on my lap, and loves to be petted. Plus, she makes the most adorable funny face when I happen to hit one of her itchy spots! Bindie is a wonderful dog that deserves a wonderful family…please come see her at Brooklyn ACC and see if it might be yours!
09/22/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bindie came in as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Bindie was very friendly and allowed all handling. During SAFER Bindie came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly and social towards the assessor. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Bindie was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Bindie was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Bindie can become overwhelmed and give a low growl when dogs approach her face. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter and we recommend the only dog in the home to feel more comfortable. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: In a group of calm male and female dogs, Bindie becomes overwhelmed in the group and low growls when dogs approach her face.
09/21/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Bindie was surrendered as a stray so her past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Bindie is initially tolerant of a male dog’s greetings. She offers an appropriate correction when the male dog playfully body slams into her. In a group of calm male and female dogs, Bindie becomes overwhelmed in the group and low growls when dogs approach her face. When being introduced to a small dog, at the request of a potential adopter, Bindie displays prey drive behaviors. The Behavior Department recommends that Bindie be the only dog in the home. 9/21: Bindie displays soft body language when greeting the male dog. She is tolerant of his persistent face to face greetings and play solicitations, but does not engage. She offers an appropriate correction when the male dog playfully body slams into her. 9/22: In a group of calm male and female dogs, Bindie becomes overwhelmed in the group and low growls when dogs approach her face. 9/24: As a request from a potential adopter, Bindie was tested with little dogs. Bindie was placed in the pen next to our little dog playgroup and initially was at the gate displaying soft body language, but very focused on the little dogs. She was allowed into the pen with one little dog and initially they ignored each other. Then Bindie became focused on a rat on the other side of the fence and demonstrated prey drive behaviors. I then held her leash and brought her over to the little dog where she became reactive, barking at him and pulling to get near him.
