09/14/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO

She was previously owned by a spouse and was left with owner, she has been in the care of her owner for almost a year. Foxy has cherry eye on her left eye and was not taken to the vet for this issue. Foxy has lived with two adults, two children ages three and five and another pitbull. She is described as reserved around strangers she will take several minutes to warm up to new people. She will engage in somewhat rough play with adults. She is tolerant around the children and will engage in exuberant play with the kids. She lived with her sibling Jacob and is described as relaxed and affectionate. Owner stated they have been together since birth and will eat, sleep and play together. Once seperated they will whine and become anxious. She has not been around cats. Foxy is not bothered during storms or fireworks. She will growl when her foos is touched and her body will tense. She is not bothered when she is held or bathed, owner stated she loves water. She will bark when a stranger appraoches her home and owner stated she loves to guard the home. She is protective of her owner and family and will growl when a stranger approaches her owner. Foxy has a high activity level and likes to follow her owner around the home. She likes to play with chew toys and bones. Foxy sleeps in her crate and lived in a home with a yard. She is housetrained and rarely has accidents indoors. She is well behaved when left alone in the yard. Foxy eats Purina One dry food and is fed once a day. Foxy is used to leashed walks and does not pull on leash. When off leash she will wander some but come when she is called. Upon intake Foxy was relaxed and when cousnelor approached she wagged her tail slowly and sniffed cousnelors hand. Cousnelor was able to scan (-), collar and photograph.

09/17/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Upon meeting Foxy it’s impossible not to notice that she has a bad case of cherry eye in one eye, but this girl wants nothing to do with the victim role: what sweet, fun, resilient lady! She was a little reserved when I first met her, but warmed up immediately with treats (she loves them and will sit and lie down for them). Her previous owner tells us she was relaxed and affectionate with the other dog she lived with (her littermate), tolerant and playful with the reident children, and well-behaved when left alone. She walks beautifully on leash, is very waggy, and seems housebroken. When I take her in the yard she LOVES to chase after tennis balls and even does an adorable hula-paw-batting dance when she waits for me to throw one. She’ll join me on the bench, solicit cuddling, and is just wonderful company! All of this charisma and charm belongs in a home…come meet her at Brooklyn ACC and see if it might be yours!
