A volunteer writes: I’ve got your remedy for rainy days and no, it’s no umbrella. 4 year-old Jasmine may have dropped “Princess” from the front of her name but she’s still royally adorable. And bashful! At least initially but that proves to be all a show. For the moment this little meatball sets her white-tipped toes between blades of grass that smile shines like the sun. And there is the cure for all that ails you because Jasmine she never stops grinning. While she waits for a snack (keep them coming please!) or a rub on her belly (and those too please!) that delicious face keeps beaming. But as luck would have it that smile is only the beginning of this princess’ charms. A fit of zoomies is where all the real action is brought on by, well it’s hard to say. A toy, another pup, just the mention of her name – all have the potential to send this happy hippo into spinning and you into fits of joy. But as our Jasmine is low-key royalty she never forgets to bow, play bow to be specific, and that happens early and often. And if your heart doesn’t swell and then burst at the sight of her accompanying wiggles and wags, then I’d call the doctor straight away and have that “awwww” reflex checked. A little princess for the people, a silver, silly meatball, a beautiful baby hippo replete with a crocodile grin. Your personal sun on the rainiest of days – that’s our Jasmine. Well “ours.” Ours for now. And if you’re very lucky – one day yours. Jasmine is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.

09/03/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 8/31/17 Unaltered Female, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 9/3/17 Look: 3. Dog jumps on and mouth the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, closed mouth. Tag: 2. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Jumps on and mouths the Assessor. Squeeze 1/2: 2. Dog quickly pulls back. 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: Jasmine displayed a high level of activity and movement on her assessment, being in constant motion, jumping on, and mouthing the assessor. She was social throughout. PLAYGROUP: Jasmine arrived as a stray, so behavior history around dogs is unknown. In the care center, Jasmine has begun to display playful behavior with the potential to become over-aroused by dogs who engage in running play. The behavior department recommends slow, structured introductions between Jasmine and well-socialized dogs who are tolerant of rough play behavior, or match her rough, exuberant style of play. . INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Jasmine had a loose body and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 8/31/17 During her initial medical exam, Jasmine had a tense body. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Jasmine so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. 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: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5): Due to the jumpy and mouthy behavior Jasmine displays at the care center, we recommend a home without young children. Older children who are comfortable around large, jumpy, mouthy dogs should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption. Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: 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_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition: While she applies only light pressure, Jasmine was mouthy throughout the assessment and is quick to put her teeth on skin. This is likely an attention-seeking behavior, but it should be replaced with an alternative behavior as it can frighten people. We recommend never playing with bare hands – always with a toy – and ending play or attention whenever Jasmine puts teeth on skin. She should be rewarded with attention and treats when she stops and/or when she is seeking attention in alternate ways.
