06/12/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Hey there Delilah, what’s it like in New York City?! When I first laid eyes on this little piece of charcoal, I thought for sure she was a puppy. Her little button nose, chocolate chip eyes, and forehead wrinkles that always make her look concerned give her a perpetual puppy look! And those ears! Oh my! They’re like antennas moving every which way, seemingly picking up signals from far away lands. Though Delilah may no longer be a puppy, she sure plays like one! She loves her toys, and will fetch them and bring them back and drop them on command. It appears Delilah has been a momma a number of times, and she even lived harmoniously with one of her male puppies. She reportedly gets along with kids, will jump right into the tub for bathing and is housetrained. Ask to meet Delilah, I guarantee you won’t be able to resist her!

According to Delilah’s previous guardian, Delilah has lived with one other male dog her puppy and is relaxed and gentle around him. The Behavior Department recommends that Delilah be placed with dogs that match her gentle play style.

DOG-DOG ASSESSMENT: Tolerant: These dogs are typically non-reactive on leash and will be either friendly or indifferent off leash. They can typically tolerate some rude behavior from other dogs and can be described as having a long fuse. They show relaxed, appropriate, easy-going body language around others. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 6/6/17: Upon intake Delilah was friendly and social, she allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/7/17: During her medical examination, Delilah was friendly and very social, she allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have limited history on Delilah 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: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
