Jerryanne
Hello, my name is Jerryanne. My animal id is #12624. I am a desexed female tan dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Nov-2017.
Jerryanne is at risk for medical reasons. Jerryanne has contracted Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Jerryanne is suitable for a dog experienced home with no children.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: So very nice, we named her twice! Urban Dictionary defines “Jerryanne” as one who’s “classy, smart, wise, funny, and nice.” Well, all that fits our girl to a T. Oh, and speaking of tea — we can add “endlessly polite” to Jerryanne’s list of fine qualities. This 2 year-old beauty queen sits without being asked, takes her treats gently, and walks like a debutante on leash. On a recent stroll to the park, our smart and classy sweetheart tended to business straight away before skipping excitedly through piles of amber and orange leaves, eventually settling near a bench for some fall photos. And here we are again, piling on the praise as Jerryanne sat happily for the camera, took no issue with being tethered, and didn’t bat one eye (unlike her photographer) when the sky suddenly opened up with rain. And take it from said photographer, that should you ever require a snuggle partner whilst waiting out a storm on a city stoop, Jerryanne is certainly your gal. Classy, smart, wise, funny, nice, polite, and snuggly. Sound too good to be true? Huh. Sounds just like Jerryanne to me. Jerryanne is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC. Another volunteer writes: A classic beauty, elegant, calm, gentle and sweet beyond words. Resting quietly in her kennel when I approached, she stood gently, came forward to be leashed, and out we go. Her leash manners are lovely, she went potty enroute, and wags her tail at every passerby. She has such a cute expression as she looks up that everyone says hello to her. So cute. Her orange and white coat is clean, she’s trim, and she looks to the manor born. But, when she tries to curl up in my lap like she’s a small dog, all bets are off as we laugh together at her antics, and she give me kisses. Her serious face doesn’t give a hint as to the fun, affectionate girl she is, so you’ll just have to come meet her and see for yourself.

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Jerryanne was loose bodied when she came in she allowed me to approach her and and check her for any wounds. After a few minutes she was sitting between me legs while i scratched her head and rubbed her belly. She was biting the collar that i tried to put on her and then became very stiff. She followed me on a leash and jumped right into the kennel.

Summary:: Jerryanne approached the assessor in the assessment room with a soft body. She was social but became uncomfortable and stiffened when her paw was touched, so flank was used.
Summary:: Selective: These dogs can succeed with certain other dogs, but may be more selective or picky. They may dislike certain ‘types’ of dogs or styles of dog play so they may require extra supervision when interacting with other dogs. Jerryanne has displayed brief interest in approaching and greeting dogs in the care center. She has not yet been comfortable enraging in play. History around dogs is unknown due to arriving as a stray. The behavior department recommends that future introductions be conducted at a slow pace, to respectful dogs.

Summary:: Jerryanne allowed handling.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Jerryanne is initially aloof with handlers in the shelter environment. However, she will warm up quickly and become social with handlers while engaging outside the kennel.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to the discomfort Jerryanne displayed with having her paw handled, we recommend a home without young children.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Jerryanne has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching for her paw. It is important to always go slow and give Jerryanne the option to walk away from any social interaction. Jerryanne should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Jerryanne’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Jerryanne may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
