Clifford
Hello, my name is Clifford. My animal id is #9771. I am a male red brown dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Oct-2017.
Clifford 9771 is at risk for a respiratory infection (CIRDC). Behaviorally, Clifford has allowed all handling in the care center. He can become easily overstimulated and will attempt to mount handlers as well as dogs in playgroup. We recommend an experienced adopter who can work with him on impulse control.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 67.4 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Date of intake:: 10/14/2017
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Date of assessment:: 10/17/2017
Look:: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.
Tag:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Toy:: 1. No interest.
Summary:: During the handling assessment Clifford displayed a soft body posture. Although Clifford persisted to mount he was friendly, and allowed handling.
Summary (1):: Clifford was brought in as a stray so his behavior around other dogs is unknown. 10/15: When off leash at the Care Center, Clifford greets the novel female and becomes intensely interested in sniffing her genital area. His sexually motivation persists throughout the session but he never attempts to mount her.
Date of intake:: 10/14/2017
Summary:: Energetic, attempts to mount.
Date of initial:: 10/16/2017
Summary:: Friendly, allowed examine.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: Due to the behavior observed in the care center. We feel that Bentley may intimidate young children.
Potential challenges: : Other
Potential challenges comments:: Clifford was observed to become a bit overstimulated at times, attempting to mount handlers. He has shown a low threshold for arousal and needs guidance to learn how to appropriately channel that energy when he becomes overstimulated. We can not be certain if this behavior will continue outside of the care center.
