A volunteer writes: What do you get when you take a bunch of sweetness and charm and encase it like a sausage?? None other than darling Darla! She was found tied to a fence and brought to us via NYPD (she loved riding in their cruiser and looking out the windows…the world is your oyster, little dumpling!). She is super friendly and becomes a favorite to anyone that meets her! She is very easy to walk on leash, loves to explore, and seems to have some housetraining. Her likes include treats, chasing pigeons, smooshing herself into me when I call her over for pets, and giving lots of snorty kisses. She is a doll…please come to Brooklyn ACC and eat her up!

PLAYGROUP: When off leash with other dogs at the Care Center, Darla becomes stiff and growls when greeting novel dogs. When greeting them, she becomes increasingly stiff and lunges. Darla came into the Care Center as a stray so her previous behavior around other dogs is unknown. Due to Darla’s display of low sociability towards other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that she be the only dog in the home at this time. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/30/17: During her medical examination, Darla was friendly and allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Darla so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. 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 some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _x_Single-dog home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to Darla’s display of low sociability towards other dogs –growling and lunging- the Behavior Department recommends that she be the only resident dog. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help decrease Darla’s reactiviy towards other dogs.
