CORBIN – A1121768

Manhattan Center

My name is CORBIN. My Animal ID # is A1121768.
I am a neutered male br brindle and white bull terrier. The shelter thinks I am about 3 YEARS old.

I came in the shelter as a RETURN on 08/21/2017 from NY 10471, owner surrender reason stated was BITEANIMAL.

Corbin requires a 45 day in home isolation until October 4th. Corbin can be walked outside but should have as little interaction with other animals as possible.

08/31/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Corbin A1121768 is at risk for a New Hope Only behavior determination, including a bite history to a cat, and for CIRDC. While social with humans and with other large dogs in the care center, he shows a tendency toward over-arousal and his previous owner reports a high level of interest in and focus on cats and small dogs. Prey drive-like behaviors have also been noted in the care center.

Has bitten a cat encountered during a walk, see bite history below. Bite history: Yes. Corbin was involved in an incident with a stray cat encountered during a walk. Upon noticing the cat, he jumped up, grabbed the cat off of a ledge, and held on. This resulted in injury to one of the cat’s limbs. KNOWN HISTORY: None, 8/12/17 (First stay at care center) Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 8/13/17 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He 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: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game. He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness. Summary: Corbin displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment and was social throughout. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Upon intake, Corbin had a loose, wiggly body and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 8/13/17 During his initial medical exam, Corbin was social, active and enjoyed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have limited history on Corbin so we cannot be completely 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.

PLAYGROUP: Corbin is social and highly playful when engaging with dogs in the care center. At times, Corbin does begin to display a concerning level of over arousal when interacting with dogs who engage in running, chase styles of play (becomes tense, runs after, mouths at the neck and ankles). Corbin has additionally displayed behaviors rooted in prey drive, attempting to run and chase after smaller animals. His previous adopters have reported an incident involving Corbin chasing after and successfully biting a cat encountered outdoors. The previous adopters of Corbin have also reported an altercation that occurred with a dog in the park, with no further detail. The behavior department advises against introducing Corbin to smaller dogs or other small animals. Introductions between Corbin and other large dogs should be conducted slowly and on a one on one basis, to tolerant dogs, or to social dogs who engage in a similar style of wrestling, body contact play. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No cats/no small dogs: Due to observed prey-driven behavior around small animals, Corbin should be kept away from cats, small dogs, and other small pets due to potential risk of injury. Corbin does have a bite history, involving an encounter with a stray cat on the street. _X_Recommend no dog parks: Dog parks are not recommended, due to the potential displayed for Corbin to become overly aroused when exposed to dogs who are smaller, or those who engage in running play. See PLAYGROUP for more information. _X_New Hope Only: Due to Corbin’s bite history, we recommend placement with a rescue partner who can assess his behavior in a stable environment before placement into a permanent adoptive home. Potential challenges: _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Corbin may display concerning, prey-driven behavior when encountering cats and smaller animals during walks. Corbin has attempted to chase, and has successfully bitten a smaller animal (cat) while out on a walk. We recommend that future caretakers of Corbin exercise caution when walking Corbin through high traffic areas. Corbin may need to be muzzled for the safety of smaller animals during walks. He may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs and novel stimuli that may startle him. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
