Bodie
Hello, my name is Bodie. My animal id is #8983. I am a desexed male white dog at the Staten Island Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 11 years 1 months old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 06-Oct-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person health – allergies.
Bodie 8983 is at risk for behavior due to poor kennel presence. He is sweet, playful and affectionate when out of his kennel with humans but should be in an only dog house hold (experienced determination). He is healthy but may need a dental cleaning.
My medical notes are…

Summary (2):: Bodie quickly stiffened and barked when approaching a similarly sized dog through the gate, no off leash interaction was introduced. On the way back to kennel, Bodie was soft during a lingered greeting, appeared interested in a small dog in adjacent kennel.
Date of initial:: 10/7/2017
Summary:: During his initial medical exam, Bodie is social and friendly, allows all handling.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations comments:: Due to owner’s report of housebreaking challenges and pet conflict, we recommend an Experienced adopter.
Potential challenges: : House soiling
Potential challenges comments:: House-soiling: Bodie will need guidance with housetraining. We recommend frequent walks and a regular routine feeding schedule, rewards and praise whenever Bodie eliminates properly outside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse.
