A volunteer writes:

The staff who named Gem was right on the money…Indeed, she is a gem…I hesitated at first to take her out. She is so tall and long. I was worried she was going to take me for a ride. Gem was at her door, poised, with a gentle look on her face. It’s a go ! We aimed at first for the yard. Doing her business was the first thing she attended too. I let her loose and just watched her. What a beauty ! But oh so thin….Her facial markings are so delicate. She carries herself elegantly. She sits upon request and comes when I call her. She leans on me and accepts my caresses after an initial shyness. What a feel good dog ! I came back for Gem yesterday. We walked around the block. She pulls very slightly. We had many admirers. I was so proud to have her on my leash.. I wish she was mine…Gem accepted my treats this time. She clearly was feeling better…She is such a snuggler and I see her transforming into a velcro dog….I have not explored play with Gem but I bet she knows or can learn. Other dogs..Well, she nears them without fuss and when one barks with hostility, she seems like she could not care less.  Attention big dogs lovers ! Gem is a must to meet and spend time with. She is royal, a good girl and a real jewel. Gem can be found in our adoption quarters at the Manhattan Care Center. She is dreaming to be yours, all yours.

Gem was calm during her intake.  Allowed to be pet, collard, and picture taken without a problem.

Behavior:

Gem walks calmly on leash.  She was calm and relaxed during handling. Gem followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a calm and relaxed body language when playing tag with assessor. She was not interested in toys.

Gem did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home.

Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, ears relaxed, low wagging tail, open mouth.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.

Toy 1: No interest.

Group Behavior:

When off leash with other dogs, Gem is nervous and runs away when approached.

4/15 update: Gem is more comfortable, approaching to greet with a soft body and wag. She readily greets and sniffs the other dogs but will, again, run away if solicited.
