05/16/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/14/16 16:08 Behavior during intake: This dog came to MACC in a cage. She barked a few times when i came to the front of the cage. A staff member tilted the crate and opened the cage door from the top. She allowed him to put the leash on with no issue. She sat for photos with no issue. Diaz is a senior female APBT mix. Her owner got her when she was a puppy. She had police transport her to ACC because she growled at her. She told us that Diaz has never bit anyone. She was not able to provide more information.

05/17/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Everyone loves a puppy. A wiggly, innocent ball of wonder, a blank page, a clean slate. The world is a good place to a puppy and everyone is a friend. As I’ve gotten older, seen more of the world, I’ve developed a different preference. My favorite muzzle is one that’s flecked with grey, each hair holding a memory. My favorite eyes are those like a keyhole opening up into magnificent rooms. Behind each door there’s a life lived, lessons learned, happiness and grief. To have the love of one whose heart has been broken yet they choose to love again — that’s the kind of love I want. When I first meet Diaz she is calm in her kennel, gently hugging the back wall. She is beautiful in her delicious coat with her rabbit ears, her amber eyes warm and bright. Diaz was surrendered to our care after 10 years — her entire life — of living with one person. Her nails are long and they scratch the pavement on each step of our walk. Back in our pen I unleash her. It’s time to run, to be free, to play! But Diaz only stands there and stares out, at what, I’m not sure. I wonder if she is scrolling through her memories, and I wonder if they’re good. 10 years, an entire decade in one bed, knowing one hand, hearing one voice. What must that now be like? I begin to walk towards her, to comfort her, and in the process step on a toy that releases a lengthy SQWEEEEE! Diaz jolts around and runs towards me, her eyes glowing like the sun. I pick up her prize and hand it to her — and she is changed. Suddenly she is once more a blank page, a clean slate, and, for right now, the world is good again. And I do know she will love again. And that her love is the kind anyone should want. Diaz is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC. Video made before name reverted to Diaz. She is referred to in this video as Mini.

05/17/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Diaz was a bit difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth and growling. Once he is removed from his kennel he pulls a bit on the leash. He was shy and nervous and trembled during handling, but had soft body language. Diaz followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a calm and relaxed body language when playing tag. He took the toy away and place his body between the toy and the assessor but had soft body language. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Diaz is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Diaz is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff and fearful; his tail is low. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, shy body language, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness.

05/17/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Diaz greets politely and is often tolerant when greeted by polite, calm dogs. She offers correction for mounting or forward greeting. She arrived as a stray so in-home behavior with dogs is unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction to ensure Diaz’s compatablity with a resident dog. She may be most comfortable with a calmer, respectful dog. When off leash with other dogs, Diaz greets, is interested. She corrects mounting. 5/18 update: Diaz greets politely. She offers correction for mounting. She is polite when greeting female dogs through the fence. 5/19 update: Diaz is soft-bodied initially, but begins to correct pushy greeting, and when sniffed by her rear. 5/20 update: Diaz is more comfortable with polite males that give her space when she enters the pen. She is loose but after an extended period of time she offers correction when solicited. 5/23 update: Diaz is avoidant and offers correction when approached.
