Clyde
Hello, my name is Clyde. My animal id is #20105. I am a male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old.
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 06-Feb-2018.
Clyde was at risk due to behavior concerns; Due to the warning and distance-increasing behaviors shown in the care center, Clyde would consistently body check the assessor when uncomfortable with up close handling. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide force free behavior modification to address underlying anxiety.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 72 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow
Date of intake:: 2/6/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray, no known history.
Date of assessment:: 2/8/2018
Summary:: Clyde displayed some concerning behavior in the care center. When attempting to leash him; he continues to jump up and become mouthy. In the behavior room Clyde was a bit uneasy (jumping up on/body checking the assessor). He has also allowed minimal handling from her caretakers. Out of concern for his stress levels and his response to restraint, we feel Clyde is not a great candidate for a handling assessment at this time.
Summary (1):: Clyde was brought in as stray with one other resident dogs but limited information was provided, so his past behavior around other dogs is unknown. 2/7: When off leash at the Care Centers, Clyde displays a tense posture and high tail at the gate. His leash is held as a precaution before the gate is open. Once the pen door opens, he immediately becomes sexually motivated and mounts the novel female dog. He becomes increasingly frustrated and growls while stiffening his body. The dogs are safely separated and the session is ended.
Date of intake:: 2/6/2018
Summary:: Behavior unknown
Date of initial:: 2/7/2018
Summary:: Once out of the cage Clyde becomes tense, whale eyes, and panting with ears back
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Clyde so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Clyde jumped up moderately on the assessor during the assessment. The movement/jumping appeared to be aimed at stopping the assessor’s activity/etc.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Clyde appears to easily startle and become uncomfortable with up close handling, for these reasons we advise against a home with children at this time. New hope partner: Due to the warning and distance-increasing behaviors shown in the care center, Clyde would consistently body check the assessor when uncomfortable with up close handling. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide force free behavior modification to address underlying anxiety.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Dog has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over him. It is important to always go slow and give dog the option to walk away from any social interaction. Dog should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Dog’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Dog may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
