A volunteer writes: An energetic beauty with a smile so bright she could be a toothpaste spokesdog, Hazel isn’t just bursting onto the scene, she IS the scene, and this fresh and funny gal’s ready to rock her way into your heart today! It’s impossible to be bored with Hazel around. She’s a non-stop party pup who can’t get enough of toys and happily grins her way through fetching a ball, following commands to earn a treat, or settling in for a full body massage from her latest fan. Surrendered to our care with athletic big sister Hennessy, Hazel’s very picky as to which dogs she’s willing to meet. But don’t worry, she’s anything but when it comes to making new human friends, and I guarantee you’ll be welcomed with open arms–especially if you come bearing snacks! She does pull on leash but seems very house trained, already knows commands for come and sit, takes treats super gently and is always happy to share her toys. Full of fun and not for the faint of heart, Hazel has a big personality. But with room to roam, plenty of playtime and an active adopter with eyes only for her, she could be the loyal BFF of your dreams. Hazel’s waiting patiently at our Manhattan Care Center, ask to meet her today!

SAFER ASSESSMENT: 7/2/17 Look: 1. Dog jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. Her body is soft, panting, jumps up between attempts to lick Assessor. Tag: 2.

Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Hazel displayed a high level of activity and movement on her assessment, jumping up on the assessor repeatedly throughout her assessment. She was social throughout and allowed all handling. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: 7/1: When introduced off leash, Hazel engages in bouts of exuberant play with male and female dogs. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Hazel allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: During her initial medical exam, Hazel was active and social, she allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Hazel’s previous owner described her as having a medium level of activity. She may have a low threshold for arousal and needs guidance to learn how to appropriately channel that energy when she becomes overstimulated. She will need daily mental and physical stimulation and exercise, and a force-free, positive reinforcement-based training class may help her to learn impulse control and to train desirable behaviors that can be rewarded.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Due to the high amount of jumping and movement on her assessment, we recommend an adult only home at this time. Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: Hazel displays a high level of jumping up on people. She becomes excited quickly and has trouble settling. It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_Strength/leash pulling: Hazel is a very large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. Her adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that she be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which help diminish her strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
