SAFE 12/12/17

Escobar

Hello, my name is Escobar. My animal id is #15487. I am a desexed male black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 05-Dec-2017.

Escobar is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. We suggest that Escobar would be best suited to a dog experienced home.

My medical notes are…

Weight: 20 lbs

Summary (2):: 12/11: When introduced off leash to dogs, Escobar greets politely.

Date of intake:: 12/5/2017

Summary:: Escobar was tense, growled, and allowed minimal handling.

Date of initial:: 12/6/2017

Summary:: Escobar was calm and allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Escobar so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium-low level of activity.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)

Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Escobar may be intimidated by young children. He needs a slow approach and time to warm up. He should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at his own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Escobar is fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Escobar the option to walk away from any social interaction. Escobar should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Escobar’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Escobar would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
