03/13/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/13/17 10:44 Chipotle is an American Pitbull Terrier who was brought to the ACC by the police as a stray. The police stated that when they found her she appeared scared. They also stated that she when they tried to get her in the car she jumped right in. When Chipotle arrived at the ACC she did not want to get out of the car but came out when offered a walk and some treats. During the Admissions intake Chipotle still was nervous but warmed up to the counselors when offered treats. She let the counselor take her picture and collar her even though she was still nervous.

03/22/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Chipotle was surely named in an ironic way because she is as sweet as sugar! She has bashful moments, but is SUCH a wiggly, playful, loving little lady. She is very easy to walk on leash, seems housebroken, and already knows “sit” and “paw” (but her response rate isn’t quite 100%!). She takes treats like a charm school grad, loves to play with squeaky toys (she bounds after them and puts them right in my lap to throw again), and has done very well in our playgroups with other dogs (she’s even been used to help greet newcomers!). She softly and quickly wags her tail when greeting staff members through a fence, thoroughly sniffs my face before planting gentle kisses on my nose, and very frequently checks in to make sure she’s doing everything right when we’re out and about (she always is!). She is an absolute darling and ready to bring her sweet, mild-mannered, endearing ways to your place…please come meet her at Brooklyn ACC!

03/15/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/15/17 Spayed female, Stray Other notes: During the Admissions intake Chipotle still was nervous but warmed up to the counselors SAFER ASSESSMENT: 3/15/17 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, body low, and fearful. Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog smells, then turns away. Summary: Chipotle was friendly and social. She was a bit fearful but allowed all handling and displayed no other concerns. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: When off leash at the Care Center, Chipotle greets with a low, loose and wiggly body. She attempts to engage in gentle play but exposes her belly (self-handicap) when she is overwhelmed. As she continues to participate in play session, Chipotle will join in short burst of chase-play, and persistently offer intense muzzle lick, but will immediately stop when interrupted by handlers. When the play energy exceeds her comfort level, Chipotle will explore her surroundings, keeping to herself. Chipotle was surrender as a stray so her past behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Chipotle be placed in a home with dogs that match her gentle play style and is tolerant of her persistent muzzle licks. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/13/17 Chipotle was easy to handle during her initial exam. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Chipotle so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she 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 her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of experience.)
