08/02/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/02/17 14:46 Charlie is a brown 6 year old large unaltered male dog. He came to the center as a stray. According to the finder, Charlie is house trained and crate trained. He seems to not be destructive and behaves well when left alone in the house. During intake, Charlie kept a very loose body and happily jumped up on counselor to greet her. He would sniff around his surroundings and kept his tail wagging. He was very excited when counselor tried to collar him and began to play bow. He allowed all handling.
08/18/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I find it hard to believe that Charlie is really six years old, because he is the epitome of puppy joyfulness and energy. Charlie pulls a bit on the leash but is perfect walking on a harness, loves to explore everything around him, and is generally just a loose, wiggly boy. Charlie seems to be housetrained, doing his business as soon as he gets outside on our walks. Charlie gets so excited about treats that he jumps in the air, bouncing up and down with anticipation, but he will sit for a treat the second or third time you ask him. 🙂 Charlie loves meeting new people–in fact, on our last walk he tried to follow a stranger down the street, panting and wagging his tail happily (as if to say, “Where are we going, new friend? I’m ready!”). Enthusiastic and energetic, Charlie does jump up a bit sometimes and gets excited easily–he will need an adopter who has experience with high-energy dogs and can give him the structure, exercise, training, and of course LOVE that he needs! Come and meet Charlie at the Brooklyn ACC today.
08/04/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Limited profile 8/2/17 Unaltered Male, Stray Previously lived with: Adults Behavior toward strangers: Friendly Behavior toward children: Unknown Behavior toward dogs: Unknown Behavior toward cats: Unknown Resource guarding: Unknown Bite history: Unknown Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: Other notes: SAFER ASSESSMENT: 8/4/17 Look:2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity:1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag:1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1&2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells, then turns away. Summary: Charlie was friendly and playful towards the assessor with very high energy. PLAYGROUP: Charlie was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. When off leash at the Care Center, Charlie briefly greets a novel male and female dog, displaying a soft body. He mostly explores the yard and keeps to himself the rest of the time. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 8/2/17: Upon intake Charlie was very loose and wiggly, friendly and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 8/3/17: During his medical examination, Charlie was hyperactive and jumps on people.
ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Charlie so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5)-Due to Charlie very high energy level/mouthiness seen in the care center, we feel that Charlie may be too much for young children. Charlie can be a bit rough with play. Potential challenges: _X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition-Charlie has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Charlie’s teeth make contact with skin).
