05/30/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Brutis has the cutest raccoon face, and is a DREAMBOAT! The most recent entry on his list of comments from volunteers was simply “PERFECT”, and it’s true! He is quiet whenever I pass his cage but wiggles his way to the front when our eyes meet. He is super easy to walk on leash and loves to stop and smell the roses (by “the roses” I mean each and every blade of grass). He seems very housebroken and thinks food is among the best things ever (he knows “sit”, too). He fetches, carries squeaky toys around like they are chunks of gold, and even does little play bows when he’s waiting for me to find him a treat. When it comes to other dogs he prefers the ladies, but as far as people are concerned he doesn’t discriminate…he’s a lover! He wags his tail when I talk to him, gives me sweet little kisses, and just has such a soft personality that I could spread him on a cracker. Please come see him at Brooklyn ACC…you’ll make his day!

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/21/17 Brutis was very tolerable for exam, allowed all handling without restraint needed. Seemed very curious with people and objects presented to him. Took treat gently out of hand. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Brutis so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Brutis displayed low energy and movement throughout assessment. Brutis will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below). _x_Recommend no dog parks: Due to Brutis’ low display of sociability towards male dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that he only be socialized in a more controlled setting.
