12/05/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
12/05/16 12:41 Brownee A1098772 is a 13yr old male Dachshund perhaps Chihuahua mix that was being cared for in his apartment for the past couple of months after his owner fell ill and hospitalized by a neighbor. The neighbor feels bad for him being alone most of the time and decided it best for him to be brought in to us at the BXAC. According to the neighbor Brownee is housebroken but also uses wee wee pads, lived with a cat (not sure how they interacted), ate dry Pedigree dog food 2x a day and was walked 2x a day as well. During intake Brownee allowed all handling. He allowed to be scanned (-), collared and taken pictures of. Brownee didn’t seem to mind being picked up/held and was placed into a kennel with ease.

12/09/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: No wonder that little Brownee tries to get my attention when I enter his ward. This poor senior was for months left alone in his owner’s apartment (well he was with a cat) and fed by a compassionate neighbor who in the end decided to break Brownee’s loneliness and bring him to the care center. Brownee, although on the thin side, has been well cared for except for a tooth abscess. He is a little anxious but calms down once in the arms, or on the lap, or during a stroll around the block that he seems to enjoy very much. He eliminates on the way and marks his territory. He is quite voracious for treats but will sit politely for them. He has no handling issues, accepts a bow around his neck and is not wary of my big camera lens. Brownee needs a new home big time, a place where he will feel safe and loved like the one he probably had with his ill former person. Come and meet Brownee at the Manhattan Care Center. He will be waiting right at his door for you.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. Minimal interest, has brief bouts of enthusiasm with toy. Summary: Brownee appeared a bit fearful on his assessment, though allowed all handling. Brownee may do best upon a slow/soft approach. PLAYGROUP: While being walked on a leash Brownee will pull toward and bark at dogs that are passing by. He will only cease once the other dog is out of sight. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 12/5/16 During his initial medical exam Brownee appeared tense and nervous. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Brownee has been observed to display defensive behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Brownee easily startles and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.)
