01/03/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
01/03/16 09:33 Kinja is a 12 year old female gray and white american pitbull terrier who is being surrendered because she is having trouble with the other dog at home. Kinja has been with the family since she was a puppy. Kinja lived with 3 adults and 1 other dog. The other dog in home is from Kinja’s litter and they used to be receptive and playful to one another. Recently they have become defensive to one another and need to be kept separated. Kinja has been exposed to small children and is reported to be tolerant. When visitors come to the home Kinja will greet them. Kinja gets her exercise from yard play and is house broken. When on leash walks Kinja can be reactive to other dogs without warning and may lunge or snap. Owner reports that Kinja will not re-direct towards the leash holder when this happens. Kinja may struggle for a bath and has not had a nail trim. Kinja does not guard her food toys or treats and if the owner removes the food while she is eating she will disengage from the meal. Kinja may be fearful of a bear hug for handling. Kinja does not go on the couch or bed. Kinja is sensitive to loud sharp noises. Kinja likes ball toys to play fetch with and also plays tug of war with rope toys. She knows the command sit and give paw. When the family is home she will go to her own place and when home alone she is well behaved. Kinja eats dry food. Upon intake Kinja was shy for introduction and mostly loose for handling. Counselor was able to scan for microchip (negative) collar and photograph. Kinja was slightly resistant on leash but was easily encouraged.

01/30/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Kinja is an elder lady ready for a comfortable retirement. Her dusting of gray throughout her coat add a dash of character and class to her stately presence. Come to the Brooklyn care center to meet Kinja and see if she would be a great addition to your family. Another volunteer writes: I don’t think there’s a face out there with more character or more stories to tell than Kinja’s! She is quiet as a mouse in her cage and often snoozin’ when I pass by. When she’s up and about she proves that you’re never too old to chase after toys (but maybe you can use it as a way to get away with not bringing them back!) or light up at the sight of a treat (she knows “sit” and “paw”). She is easy to handle, seems housebroken and is reported to be tolerant of small children and well behaved when home alone. While Kinja might be a grumpy old lady when it comes to other dogs, she is more like the sweetest grandma EVER when it comes to people! She is very wiggly and affectionate. Whenever I stop to pet her she leans against my legs until she nearly tips over. She’ll give kisses, checks in often on walks, and just seems so happy to have company. Please come let her give you some wisdom and love at Brooklyn ACC; you’ll make her day!

02/11/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Kinja previously lived with 3 adults, 1 other dog and has been around small children. The owner stated Kinja daughter the other dog in the home used to be receptive and playful to her. Recently they have become defensive to one another and need to be kept separated. According to the owner Kinja is tolerant when around them. They have lived their whole lives together and were receptive and affectionate to one another but in the last year they started to have altercations involving biting. It was reported by the owner when on leash walks Kinja can be reactive to other dogs without warning and may lunge or snap, but she will not re-direct towards the leash holder when this happens. At intake it was reported Kinja was shy but loose for all handling. When entering the behavior room Kinja had loose and wiggly body language. She was friendly, social and affectionate towards the assessor, and allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Kinja was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Kinja was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to some concerns and the altercation Kinja has had with another dog in the home, the behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter and recommend being the only pet in the household. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed. Toy: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Kinja greets with a stiff body and hard stare, and gives a low growl at the gate. She is muzzeled before being introduced. Once the gate is opened Kinja approaches the helper dog with a stiff body, low growls, barks and lunges. Due to her behavior and previous bite history, the Behavior Department recommends that Kinja go to a home with no other dogs.
