A volunteer writes: Our Croissant is a young, slender, pretty and enthusiastic girl who is closer to a crispy beignet than a sweet croissant. She is lively and active, a fast walker, a pigeon stalker, a great sitter, a treat lover, a big tail wagger, a bench gal and a serious kisser. So many talents wrapped in a small and elegant package of a dog. Croissant is ready for all adventures you might have in store, and will follow you and your directions all the way to the moon and beyond. Yes, Croissant is ready, willing and able and believes that we, humans, are the key holders of all the knowledge that makes a dog the perfect forever best friend. She is probably partially right. Let’s not disappoint lovely Croissant. Offer her your guidance, your love and your home. She will reward you in return, for a lifetime with her joyous presence, her love and loyalty. Come and meet Croissant very soon at the Manhattan Care Center.

Jade grabbed small dog and caused muliple puncture wounds. Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: Friendly but anxious when outside with high activity level. Other notes: Jade pulls hard on leash SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 9/8/2017 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth, low wagging tail. Tag: 2. Dog is distracted, she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Lightly jumps on assessor mid game and briefly grabs leash Squeeze 1 / 2: 2. Dog does not pull back paw, lip lick Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Jade appeared anxious throughout her assessment, focused on the door and at times jumping up repetitively toward leash. PLAYGROUP: Jade is tense and offers a defensive snap when greeting. She remains tense and avoidant of approach. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial9/8/2017 During her initial medical exam, Jade allowed handling, high energy. ENERGY LEVEL: Owner describes Jade as having a high activity level which matches what we have seen in the care center. She will require daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope _X_No young children (under 5) – Due to Jade’s anxiety level, we feel she may do best in a home without young children. Older, dog savvy children can be considered pending an in -depth interaction. _X_ – New Hope partner- Jade is not acclimating well to the kennel environment, anxious and beginning to leash bite. we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide force free behavior modification to address the dog reactivity and any underlying anxiety. _X_Single-pet home – Jade has shown reactivity toward other dogs and needs to be the only resident pet. _X_Recommend no dog parks – Due to Jade’s reactivity to other dogs we recommend no dog parks. Potential challenges: _X_Anxiety – Jade has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, panting, whining, and focused on exit during SAFER and on walks. This may be due to current stressful environment as owner reports inside the home she is calm and low to medium energy. _X_Strength/leash pulling – Owner reports Jade pulls hard on leash. 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 helps diminish her strength through leverage, and that Jade be trained using postiive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.

Upon intake, Croissant appeared to be social.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/29/17

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Croissant so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
