07/12/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/12/17 14:45 Basic Info Halo is a 4 year old Chocolate and white dog whose owner moved somewhere she could not take Halo. She last visited a vet 2 years ago. Socialization Halo is outgoing around strangers and solicits play when they come over. She has lived with a 3 year old in her home who she was very comfortable and relaxed around and plays with. She plays somewhat rough with adults and is exuberant around children but is gentle. Around other dogs she is social and playful. She plays gently with other dogs. She has never bitten a person or animal before. Behavior Halo is house trained and does not destroy any household items. She is not bothered by having her toys, treats or food touched while she has them. When being bathed, brushed and having her nails trimmed she struggles and tries to run away. If someone rings the doorbell she will bark but if someone approaches her owner she is not bothered. New Family Halo has a medium level of activity at home and likes to follow her owners around the house and be in the same room as them. She really enjoys stuffed animals and sleeps in her dog bed or her kennel. She is fed wet and dry dog food of the Purina brand. She has all day access to her food. She is house trained but if her morning walk is missed she will use the bathroom in the house. She is used to being walked twice a day. She is well behaved when left at home alone. She is left in the crate for a max of 5 hours. She knows the commands sit, come, lay down and go to your room. She goes for runs for exercise and only pulls slightly on the leash. When walked off leash she stays close by. Intake Behavior Halo backs away and gives whale eye when counselor approaches her. She does not let counselor come close and had a crouched body posture with tail tucked. She does not allow counselor to approach so owner handled for collaring and scanning.

A volunteer writes: Rich chocolate mousse with whipped cream on top. Halo has been hand-dipped in the delicious liquid and came out, it seems, as a very nice family dog, good with children and other dogs, and welcoming of strangers. She has been beautifully cared for, owns a full but nice figure, and is dressed elegantly in a perfect and shiny coat. She’s got some training up her sleeve, walks peacefully on the leash, sits on command, comes when called, does her business outside the care center, and eats very politely from my hand. She even ran after the ball, caught it and almost brought it back to me. Halo is understandably at little wary at the care center. My camera is not making things easier for her as Halo is not too keen about this object blocking my face. She is hand shy, but take away the iPhone or the lens, and Halo will feel much more comfortable and attuned to bond with her caretaker. No paparazzi for Halo. Halo needs to be known a little bit more. I bet she has a lot to offer, and that placed back in a home environment, with the love of a person, she will ease again into a wonderful and loyal family pet. Halo dreams to belong again and is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center. Another volunteer writes: A chocolate bon-bon. So beautiful in her gorgeous coat, Miss Halo is ready for a walk and a chance to go potty. Surrendered by her family as they moved where she isn’t welcome, we’re told she’s housetrained when walked regularly, is well behaved when left home alone, plays gently with other dogs, and enjoys being in the same room as her person. Halo is a bit unsure with us as she’s lost everything she held dear. She’s lovely on leash, and off leash in the yard, got the zoomies — so cute! When I brought a ball into play, her eyes lit up, her tail wagged and she did what I now call the ‘Halo Ball Cha Cha’…yes, we invented some new dance steps! Adorable! This gorgeously taken care of little girl is looking for her new dance partner and ball tosser, so don’t waste a minute and come meet her.

It is important to always go slow and give Halo the option to walk away from any social interaction. Halo should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Halo’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Halo would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
