MOST RECENT MEDICAL INFORMATION AND WEIGHT
11/22/2016 Exam Type BEHAVIORPART2 – Medical Rating is 1 – NORMAL , Behavior Rating is AVERAGE, Weight 62.6 LBS.

PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Jake displays bouncy body language when interacting with male and female dogs. He may attempt to mount male and female dogs, but is able to listen to handler interruptions and continues to display bouncy body language. He offers correction when a male attempts to mount him. When being introduced to a German Shepard Dog, Jake begins to bark at him and they are not introduced. The Behavior Department recommends that Jake be placed in a home with dogs that match his calm sociability and can tolerant his mounting behavior. A proper dog-dog interaction needs to be conducted to ensure compatibility. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/02/16 During his initial medical examination, Jake readily allowed all handling without issue. IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: 11/11/16: While being removed from his kennel for cleaning, Jake became extremely aroused, jumping up onto the wall while being walked to the tethering station. Jake then jumped onto the handler’s torso area and appears to muzzle punch her in the ribs with a slightly ajar mouth. This resulted in bruising and abrasions to the handler’s chest area and left one superficial puncture wound. 11/21/16: Jake has shown social behavior with humans and dogs while at the Care Center and no real behavior concerns outside of his difficulty dealing with the arousal level in the adoptions room, which resulted in the aforementioned incident. However, due to this specific challenge for Jake, the Behavior Department does not feel that he is a candidate for the adoptions room any longer and placement should be sought for him as soon as possible. ENERGY LEVEL: Jake displays a high activity level in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience) Potential challenges: _x_Basic manners/Poor impulse control

A volunteer writes: Have you been looking for the perfect low-riding, big-headed, brindle little pibble to bring home and join your family? Look no further! This happy, gentle, and affectionate sweetheart will check all your boxes–Jake walks well on a leash, seems to be housebroken, loves to snuggle and give kisses, has ALMOST mastered sitting for treats (watch his video ’til the end for your reward!), and is just as happy to go for a walk as he is to sit with you and get some scratches behind the ears. Please come and see Jake at the Brooklyn ACC today!
