A Little Bit About Me…

A Staff member writes : Brooklyn came to us as a stray and currently on ID hold. He is a sweet natured, calm boy that is on the timid side. We are trying to lift his spirits and have been giving him extra attention and keeping him at the front office as much as possible (and he is enjoying the attention!)

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

 

My medical notes are…

 

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment: 16-Nov-2017
Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted, body posture is stiff and fearful, tail is low and not moving. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body low and a bit fearful.
Paw squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Paw squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Toy: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.
Summary: Brooklyn was a bit tense alert and unsure during his assessment, but tolerated handling with a slow approach.
Date of initial: 14-Nov-2017
Summary: Brooklyn was tense but tolerated his initial medical exam.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Potential challenges: Fearful
Potential challenges comments: Brooklyn is timid with new environments and people. He will need time to warm up and should be spoken to in a soft, gentle voice. Brooklyn should not be forced to submit to petting or handling when he is showing signs he is uncomfortable.He will do best with a slow approach and slow introduction.
