02/13/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/13/16 17:23hrs Bunny is described as shy, energetic, and friendly. She was found by her finder two months ago and has been living with a 6 year old child. Bunny was initially friendly with child allowing petting and touching. Bunny will stop and stare when she notices another dog but won’t approach. BEHAVIOR Bunny spends most of the day following her finder around. She will place her paw on her finder’s leg for attention or start climbing onto her finder’s legs. Her finder is unsure how she reacts if she is approached or touched while eating because she is always left alone. The finder noticed that Bunny has been displaying aggressive behavior towards the child in the past month. She will normally allow the adults to walk past her in the home without bothering them but once the child passes, Bunny will nip at him without breaking skin. When the child is eating, she will jump up on the child and nip him until he gives her the food. The finder also noted that Bunny will stare at the child while he is sleeping. Bunny was introduced to a visitor once and she allowed the person to approach her and pet her. When the finder returned a week later, Bunny started to bark and growl at the visitor when he entered the home. Bunny’s finder feels she is becoming territorial and that is why she is behaving this way with the child and with visitors. She is normally restricted to one area of the home when she is left alone and will behave well. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Bunny doesn’t appear to know any commands. She is house trained and will awake at 4:00am to eat and go for a walk. Then she goes for another walk at 5:00pm and 1 last time around 8:00pm. She also uses a wee wee pad in the home. Bunny is accustomed to walking just to relieve herself and then returning home. She enjoys playing with soft toys but will chew them up. She eats Pedigree dry dog food. She will sleep in the kitchen or in the bed with her owner. DURING INTAKE Bunny would stand with her tail tucked under. When a hand was extended towards her, she would turn her head away. She would allow the Admissions Counselor to approach and touch her on her head and body but she her body remained stiff. She accepted treats softly from the Admissions Counselors hands. She was collared, scanned for a microchip(positive) and photographed without displaying any negative behavior.

02/17/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Bunny has been very well named. Indeed, her rabbit’s ears have her all set for Easter…she is really adorable, elegant and delicious looking in her chocolate brindle and vanilla dress. Bunny is a bit timid in her kennel and rolls on her side in submission when she sees my leash. She comes eventually like a good girl and off we go for a short stroll around the block. Bunny is a fast runner, I guess, true to her name. Free in a pen, she explores a little, does her business, comes when called, samples treats without much enthusiasm and accepts caresses with a slow and low wagging tail. She is hand shy but will come on the lap for more bonding as time goes by in our encounter. Later on, I saw her out with another volunteer and she was a bit more valiant. Bunny was beautifully cared for. She looks so healthy and is exquisitely well groomed. She was found 3 months ago, initially did well with the young child of the house, then became uncomfortable with his presence for unclear reasons to us and this is why, a new family without young children is recommended at this point for little Bunny. Bunny needs a new master who understands shy dogs, will take time to get to know her and provide the guidance she needs to become a most awesome companion. Bunny is at the Manhattan Care center, waiting for her new owner and teacher.

02/14/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bunny was found as a stray by a member of the public who held onto her for 2 months. In that time, Bunny initially got along with 6 year old child in the home but recently started nipping at the child and barking/ growling at strangers. She is reportedly housebroken to use the bathroom out on walks 3X per day plus on wee wee pads in the home. During intake, Bunny stood with tail tucked, stiff body when approached. She pulled a bit on leash for her relief walk. Bunny whined to solicit attention in the SAFER assessment room. She allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, eyes averted, tail wag. Bunny stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, mouth closed, lip lick. She was hesitant at the beginning of Tag game, but followed at the end of the leash and approached/stood very close to assessor at end of game. She gently pulled her paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Bunny showed minimal interest in Toy, briefly grabbing it with her mouth and then turning away. She approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail at spine level, investigated and then turned away. Due to the possibility of child conflict manifesting in the home, the Behavior Team feels Bunny would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have very young children. She may initially benefit from a calm, quiet, structured environment so she can relax and know what to expect in her new home. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, , mouth closed, ears back, lip lick. Tag: 2. Dog is a bit fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends and stands very close. Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then walks away. Dog – dog 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, investigates and then turns away

02/16/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Bunny was initially fearful and would run away from any interactions with other dogs. After some time at the care center she became more comfortable engaging, socially with other dogs. She showed a social side, soliciting play and engaging in mouthy play with both males and females. Her owner reports Bunny did not interact with any other dogs but on walks she would stop and stare when she noticed another dog but wouldn’t approach. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction as well as allowing Bunny time to acclimate to her new surroundings before introducing her to any resident dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Bunny is fearful during interaction with a crouched body and tucked tail. She runs away and is avoidant of the helper dog. 2/17 update: Bunny continues to avoid interaction from the helper dog. 2/21 update: Bunny offers play bows, and solicits and engages in mouthy, wrestling play with a group of playful dogs. 2/22 update: Bunny engages in rough, mouthy play with males and females.
