01/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Dial is a real fun and pleasant gal to be around. She is so lively, sociable, friendly and very affectionate, welcoming anybody who comes to say hello. She is beautiful too, stocky and yet so feminine. Her facial features are so girly and attractive. Look at her naughty eyes, her cute ears and her adorable pout. Dial has been outstandingly cared for. She is healthy, the perfect weight and impeccably dressed. Besides the fact that she craves for food and did search my goodies bag, she has lovely and sweet manners that make her a delicious pet. She is adorable to watch, diving into the snow. Maybe the first time in her life. We were told that she is “docile, quiet, affectionate and playful”, loves kids, played with her cats and is friendly to other dogs. So why is pretty Dial with us? Dial housesoils and her master was never able to train her out of the habit. How much effort did she put into it? We will never know. What I know, what is a given… is that Dial is a fantastic girl to live for and worth the effort needed to house train her. If you feel up to the challenge, come to the Manhattan Care Center, meet the young damsel, fall in love and take her home as your new forever best friend.

01/25/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE

Dial came into our center as an owner surrender on 1/22/2016. It is reported she has only lived with adults but has interacted with children ages 8 and 12 playfully and allowed all handling. It is reported Dial also lived with two cats, would attempt to play but the cats ignored her. Owner reports Dial would approach dogs she met outside, sniffing them. Owner reports Dial is not bothered if her food is touched while eating and she will sit calmly while being bathed in the tub. Owner reports Dial is not fully housebroken, will relieve herself outside on walks and also when in the yard, but will also relieve herself inside. Owner reports Dial has torn up her bedding so now is given flat towels to sleep on. During intake, Dial calmly sat beside her owner and allowed all handling from staff. She pulled on leash for her relief walk. Dial was friendly and affectionate upon entering the SAFER assessment room, jumping up, licking face, hugging. She allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tail wagging. Dial leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, open mouth, tail neutral. She followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft, requiring coaxing at end of game to approach assessor. She playfully jumped up on assessor at end of game. Dial did not pull her paw back on both Squeeze attempts, sniffing assessor’s hand, tail wagging. She briefly showed interest in Toy, but quickly lost focus and relinquished it.
