02/05/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Dahlia is a teeny lady with eyes as big as the moon! She was shy and timid at first, her eyes growing even bigger with loud noises or sudden movements, but has warmed up to be wiggly and oh-so-sweet. She is easy to handle and seems housebroken. She’ll “sit” for treats, and they are a small price to pay for admission to her heart. She wags her tail when I talk to her, will prop her paws on my lap, and checks in often. She can still be skittish with things in the environment, but seeks out comfort from familiar faces… she is truly adorable and irresistible! She arrived as a stray wearing a collar with Disney princesses on it… now she’s ready to find her own castle. Please come meet Dahlia at Brooklyn ACC!

02/02/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Dahlia came in as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Dahlia was calm with loose body posture, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Dalia came into the assessment room shy and fearful, she was friendly towards the assessor with a slow approach, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Dahlia follows the handler with her body low and fearful during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Dahlia was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Dahlia has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Dahlia is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Dahlia be given the opportunity to interact at her own pace. Dahlia greeted another female today. She appeared stiffer with raised hackles, tail high and head well above. The female helper politely attempted to solicit play several times but Dahlia did not reciprocate. At one point, Dahlia does become assertive and responds by throwing her body over the other dog’s shoulders and growling. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an Experience adopter and we recommend being the only dog in the house hold. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is tense and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, body tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1.
