Jigga got my votes, 100% ! He is a very cute morsel of coal, lively, sociable and friendly. A kennel is not his thing and he used  to bark quite a lot in there when he first arrived at the care center. Time spent with staff and volunteers have alleviated a bit his tension and he is just now quite a pleasure to spend time with…Jigga indeed belongs to the great outdoors where he can run and jump happily with people and dogs alike.  Jigga is at his door, ready to be leashed. He will sit right before exiting like a good boy. He does his business as soon as we hit the street, no marking involved. He slightly pulls on the leash and meets properly his peers, big or small.  He is quite timid in playgroups, though, with pushy dogs. Jigga loves treats and will sit at once  at the sight of a jerky. He comes on his own to my lap and is lifted without any problem for a full petting session. A scarf around his neck, a coat on his back, the eye of my big camera zooming on him….No problem…Jigga is cool with it… Jigga has made giant progresses since  his landing in our walls. He came in with a big ear infection(not bothering him  anymore since he is being treated) and healing sores around the neck thought to be from a tight collar.  This little guy seems to have gone through some difficulties and it is about time for him to find safety and happiness in experienced and loving hands. Come and meet Jigga at the Manhattan Care Center. He would love to jump into your life…
PROFILE :

BASIC INFO

Jigga A1040720 is an approximately 2 year old Patterdale Terrier Mix.  He is being surrendered to the shelter because he was found running loose as a stray.  Finder took Jigga into his home until he was able to bring him to ACCNYC.

BEHAVIOR DURING INTAKE

Jigga allowed all handling, collaring and photos.

BEHAVIOR :

KNOWN HISTORY: None

Neutered, stray

ASSESSMENT:

Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture, mouth closed

Tag: 3. Dog stands his ground while not cornered and barks at the Assessor with ears forward, mouth closed, approaches assessor when game ends.

Squeeze 1: 2. Dog quickly pulls back paw

Squeeze 2: 4. Dog low growls, pulls back paw

Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog sniffs, licks, and mouths, then turns away.

Summary: Jigga barked and growled in his kennel but softened once leashed and in the assessment room, sitting close to assessor and allowing petting. He became uncomfortable during Tag game, barking towards assessor, but approached immediately at end of item and again allowed handling. Jigga may do best initially with a calm, quiet, structured environment so he can relax and warm up at his own pace.

DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT:

Summary

PLAYGROUP:

Jigga does not engage in play and is social but is timid when engaged by pushy dogs. He is tolerant and explores the yard.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

Jigga was alert during his initial medical exam, initially friendly but growled at times.

ENERGY LEVEL:

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home

_X_No children (under 13): Due to Jigga’s discomfort with certain types of handling and the warning signals he has given, we recommend an adult-only home for Jigga.

Potential challenges:

_X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
