Jeronimo
Hello, my name is Jeronimo. My animal id is #11069. I am a desexed male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 28-Oct-2017.
Jeronimo is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Jeronimo score an Average on his behavior assessment (safer)
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: If Jeronimo doesn’t harbor more sweetness than the Domino sugar factory on his thin little frame then I don’t know what’s right in this world anymore! He comes to us as a stray (and sort of looks the part…shabby but ADORABLE), so I can’t speak of his past, but he definitely knows how to love and be loved. He has been easy to walk on leash, seems housebroken, and is very treat motivated (he knows “sit” but might channel a kid on a trampoline in between takes!). He absolutely loves toys and is very wiggly when you talk to him. After he’s done his business and runs around a bit he reveals his affectionate side — smearing himself into my lap, giving kisses, and shimmying around to ensure I pet all of his “spots”. He has eyes that basically spill his hopes and dreams and as I read them, both involve a person to be his trusty sidekick. Please come meet Jeronimo at Brooklyn ACC and see if that could be you!
My medical notes are…

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
During intake, Jeronimo allowed the counselor to collar, scan, and feed him all while keeping a loose and wiggly body.

Date of assessment:: 11/1/2017
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.
Tag:: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog might jump on Assessor once play begins.

Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Toy:: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. Dog does not place his/her body between you and the toy.
Summary:: Jeronimo was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowing all handling. He was relaxed and playful, with a soft body posture.
Summary (1):: Jeronimo is mostly uncomfortable around other dogs. He becomes stiff and offers low growls when they attempt to greet him. As he continue to participate in group, Jeronimo attempts to mount the other female dogs, displaying a tense posture. Jeronimo was brought in as a stray so his behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Jeronimo be the only resident dog at this time. 10/29: When off leash at the Care Center, Jeronimo approaches and greets the novel female dog with a stiff stance. As their greeting continues, his posture continues to tense. When the female moves around to his rear and then returns to sniff near his ear, Jeronimo gives her a low growl. 10/30: In a group of calm females, Jeronimo mostly ignores them but tolerates short face to face greets. He becomes sexually motivated towards the end of the session, stiffening his posture and attempting to mount. He listens readily to handlers interruptions.
Date of intake:: 10/28/2017
Summary:: Loose-bodied and wiggly, allowed all handling.
Date of initial:: 10/29/2017
Summary:: Nervous, cautious, needed a slow approach, peanut butter used
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar: H – Healthy
Recommendations:: Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks
Recommendations comments:: _X_ Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to the behaviors that Jeronimo has shown during playgroup, we feel that Jeronimo should not visit dog parks and be the only resident dog. The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Jeronimo associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats.
