COOKIE DOUGH – A1103185

Manhattan Center

My name is COOKIE DOUGH. My Animal ID # is A1103185.
I am a spayed female br brindle pit bull mix. The shelter thinks I am about 5 YEARS old.

I came in the shelter as a RETURN on 06/04/2017 from NY 10035, owner surrender reason stated was TOO BIG.

06/22/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Cookie Dough A1103185 is at risk for kennel presence concerns. She will, at times, rush forward and bark in a way that may startle adopters. We believe this to be mainly demand barking, and she has been responsive to training to decrease this behavior, but Cookie Dough thrives on being outside of her kennel and seems to become frustrated with the kenneling, so we recommend that she move out of the shelter and into a stable home environment quickly.

A volunteer writes:Hold on to your sweet tooth! There’s a delectable, delicious, dazzling girl who’s about to make even your most favorite dessert a fuzzy, distant memory. At 5 years-old she is the perfect age, no longer a naive puppy, now in the prime of her life, ready to spend every day from here on out with a family who’ll love her endlessly.Cookie walks beautifully on leash, appears to be housebroken, and though a bit picky with her treats,she does take them gently. Another volunteer writes:Miss Cookie speaks ‘family dog’ through and through. A blonde with low lights, she’s soft and delicious, friendly and tail waggy and loves company. A big smile completes her persona, she jumps then sits for treats, she’s fun, lovely and sweet. Getting excited when I removed my leash from it’s peg, to her it means we’re going out,and she’s adorable in her bouncy enthusiasm. A volunteer writes:I called her Miss Dough, until we became friends on a first name basis, and now she’s Cookie!She calls me ‘Volunteer’. A gorgeous blonde, she’s as sweet as her name. Fun, friendly, lively, ready for a walk and a chance to go potty. Cookie loved being off leash, bouncing around the pen, chasing a toy but not ready to play, showing off her sit (with some coaxing) for a treat, and wagging her tail in friendship at a little dog in an adjoining pen.Cookie does little bunny hops around the pen as she explores and enjoys the cool spring morning. Surrendered back to our care for being “too big”, we’re told she lived with a toddler and was relaxed, respectful and tolerant with the child, plays gently with both children and adults, doesn’t usually guard her things, but has growled when a bone was taken away, is “very housetrained” going both outside and on wee wee pads, is well behaved when left home alone and loves playing with her rope toy.The recipe for Cookie calls for equal parts love, play, structure and maybe an extra dash of love is always good. It’s the best recipe for the best Cookie ever, come see for your self. My name is Cookie Dough and as my name suggests, I’m the sweet pup ever! I love walks in the park and playing with my favorite toy, a green bone. I’m energetic, well-tempered and I’ve got a knock out personality.Come to the ACC to find out just how great I am.I’m looking forward to finding my forever home!

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Cookie Dough has been observed to bark in her kennel while in the shelter. She has responded well to in kennel enrichment items, both toys and edible items. Cookie Dough is social with all handlers once out of her kennel. ENERGY LEVEL: Cookie Dough’s previous owner described her as having a medium-high level of activity. 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: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Cookie Dough previous owner notes that she has growled when a bone has attempted to be removed from her possession. We recommend that Cookie Dough be left along while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Cookie Dough’s mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. He should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. _X_Fearful: Cookie Dough’s previous owner described her as being shy around some new people. It is important to always go slow and give Cookie Dough the option to walk away from any social interaction. Cookie Dough should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Cookie Dough’s choice to approach a new person or thing. _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Cookie Dough is reported to be reactive to other dogs in her previous home, Cookie Dough may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs, novel stimuli that may startle him. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.

PROFILE :

Cookie Dough is a 5 year old spayed mixed breed dog. She was born at home and surrendered due to landlord conflict and allergies. She has no known health issues and last visited a vet 1 year ago.

Cookie Dough is friendly/outgoing with most strangers, approaching them, allowing petting, and sometimes jumping up on them. She sometimes retreats from strangers when they pet her. She lived with 6 children 8 years old and older and is relaxed, playful, and very tolerant with them, allowing them to ride her. She played gently with small children and exuberantly with older children/adults, seeming to match the person’s play style. She lived with her mother and had lived with siblings through 6 months old. She was relaxed, playful, and tolerant with them. She plays exuberantly with dogs at the dog park. She occasionally barks at some dogs she is reluctant to play with but usually engages in play shortly after. She lived with a cat and was relaxed, playful, affectionate, and tolerant with him. They cuddled often. Cookie Dough hasn’t bit anyone.

Cookie Dough doesn’t mind storms. She doesn’t mind when someone takes food/treats/toys from her, moves her off furniture, holds/retrains her, or wakes her up. She enjoys being brushed and bathed in the tub but has a tucked tail during baths with a hose. She is friendly with most strangers who approach her home/family, allowing petting, but retreats from some when they pet her.

Cookie Dough’s family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and medium-high energy. She follows them, cuddles with them, and enjoys tummy rubs. She plays with stuffed toys or whatever toy/object is given to her and plays fetch, chase, and tug. She lived inside and ate dry and wet Alpo and Gravy train foods and got chicken, steak, hamburgers, and hot dogs as treats. She’s housetrained, potties anywhere outside, and doesn’t have accidents. She’s well-behaved while left home alone free-roaming, while alone in the yard with a 6′ chain link fence, and while locked in her pop-up crate with a dog bed overnight. She sits, lies down, and comes when asked. She went for brisk walks and sometimes pulls on the leash. Off-leash, she wanders but comes when called.

Cookie Dough was a little tense. She panted, whined, and moved around a lot. She tolerated petting, collar, photos, and scan (+) without reacting noticeably.
