07/20/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Double your pleasure, double your fun. I’ve never been good with math but I’m pretty sure double the time with Double equals an infinite amount of fun. A true Pocket Pittie at just 35 lbs, Double is a delicious mix of hound and of heart, and when he cocks his head to the right at the sight of my leash, and one floppy ear flops over, I’m all but certain that this is love. Double is quickly leashed and we’re off into the sun where I notice how slight our sweet boy is. Beneath his shiny, ebony coat I can see the trace of a few ribs, the outline of a few bones, and I run my hand from his head to his tail pausing at his bum for a good, long scratch. There is something so calm and serene about this young boy, as if he’s wise beyond his years. Double sits for his treats, sniffs a buddy excitedly through the fence, and poses for photos, head tilted to one side, as if he’s been doing it all his life. Off leash in a pen, Double shows me just how perfect a companion he would be be it in winter, spring, summer, or fall. He romps gleefully in the grass, dip his sweetly webbed toes daintily in the water, and gnaws playfully on a stuffy toy as I dangle it atop his head. Spend half a day with Double, times that by 7, times that by 2, then add happily ever after. That’s a good start towards a life full smiles, a life full of fun, and a heart full of life and of Double. Double is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC. A volunteer writes: This cute little hound dog has the most adorable looking face. He has these big beautiful eyes . A bit shy at first , but we walk down the street then sit. I pet him and he closes his eyes with such a pleased sense of happiness. When I put him back in, he leaned his head gently on my legs when I removed his leash for some more petting. With that adorable face looking at me I have to admit it wasn’t easy to put him back inside.

07/13/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Limited Profile 7/11/17 Unaltered Male, Owner Surrender SAFER ASSESSMENT: 7/13/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is down, body tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. No interest. Summary: Double seemed a bit uncomfortable at times, tensing at some handling. He appeared social at other times. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Selective: These dogs can succeed with certain other dogs, but may be more selective or picky. They may dislike certain ‘types’ of dogs or styles of dog play so they may require extra supervision when interacting with other dogs. PLAYGROUP: Double is polite and tolerant when interacting with female dogs in the care center. He engages in gentle play with select females. The behavior department recommends slow introductions to polite female dogs. Double has displayed a bit of a tense body when attempting introduction to male dogs, and may not be comfortable interacting with them at this time. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Double allowed all handling. He was growling and barking at a dog in the room over and was growling at other dogs when the door would open. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/11/17 During his initial medical exam, Double allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Double so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity: Double appears to become uncomfortable with some handling, tensing when uncomfortable. It is important to always go slow and give Double the option to walk away from any social interaction. Double should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Double’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Double may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. _X_No dog parks: Double may be uncomfortable interacting with select dogs and may be most comfortable meeting them ona one one basis.
