Deputy
Hello, my name is Deputy. My animal id is #12706. I am a desexed male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 15-Nov-2017.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Go ahead and call the chief now, because Deputy is going to steal your heart! He always looks very regal in his kennel, and the way he looks at people makes me think he knows all of their secrets (but loves them just the same!). He’s got the looks, and the brains, too! He is big and strong, but I suspect he’s aware of it, as he’s pretty manageable on leash, he seems very housebroken, and he already knows “sit” and “paw.” Here are just some of the reasons to love him: 1. He graciously responds to compliments by instantly wiggling his back end. 2. He tucks his paws under when he’s lounging on his bed. 3. Throwing him a tennis ball initiates some sort of goofy dance where he play bows, dribbles the ball under his belly, delights at finding it again, and parades around with it in his mouth. 4. His head tilts will never (ever!) stop being cute. 5. He’ll let you mush his jowls to your heart’s content. 6. He told me his New Year’s resolution is to “make a house into a home”…I mean, is this guy even real!? Come check him out at Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…

Date of assessment:: 11/17/2017
Look:: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.
Sensitivity:: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Toy:: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.
Summary (1):: Deputy is sexually motivated;persistently genital sniffing. He attempts to mount between bouts of gentle play. Deputy was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Deputy be placed in a home with resident dogs that will tolerate his sexually motivated behavior and match his play style. 11/16: When off leash at the Care Center, Deputy greets the female helper dog with a neutral posture. He is sexually motivated- persistently sniffing genital areas- but does not attempt to mount. He oscillates between exploring the pens and following the female greeter. 11/18: Deputy continues to be sexually motivated with a novel female dog. He solicits bouncy cooperative play, with the goal to mount, and is sensitive near his rear and ears. 11/20-21: Deputy engages in bouncy, cooperative play, with his end goal continuing to be mounting the female. He listens well to interruptions.
Date of intake:: 11/15/2017
Summary:: Deputy is friendly, and outgoing.
Date of initial:: 11/16/2017
Summary:: Deputyfriendly, allows exam with minimal restraint.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Deputy so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Deputy is a young, enthusiastic, social dog. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar: H – Healthy
Potential challenges: : Strength/leash pulling
Potential challenges comments:: Deputy is a very large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
