01/28/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Lucy is a little vacuum cleaner, nose to the ground as she walks, inhaling heavily, picking things up, and darting this way and that. She’s curious, active, and still has a puppyish tendency to explore the world with her mouth. But Lucy also has a sensitive side, and tries to make herself as small as possible when first being patted, as though afraid something bad will happen. Once relaxed, though, Lucy loves attention and sits quietly and patiently for it. A slow approach, along with plenty of physical and mental exercise and regular walks, would work wonders helping her adjust and trust again. With time and patience, Lucy would make a great walking/running companion and playmate (and would also be good at cleaning up those crumbs on your kitchen floor!). As she’s already spayed, she could go home with you today. Lucy is waiting for you at Brooklyn ACC!

08/12/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Lucy was surrender as a stray so her pass behavior with other dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Lucy enters the pen with a low body and tucked tail. She is tolerant of the other dog greeting her at first, and then hides under the bench to avoid any further interactions. She is sensitive to the novel noises in the environment. Lucy tolerates a male dog’s attempts to mount but mostly avoids interacting with him and instead seeks the handler’s attention. In a group of small male and female dogs, Lucy displays loose and wiggly body language when socializing. She displays bouncy body language and solicits gentle play. The Behavior Department recommends that Lucy be placed in a home with well socialized dogs that can help her become more comfortable around other dogs. 8/13: Lucy displays a soft, low body when greeting other dogs. She stays close to the handlers, ignoring the greeter. 8/15: Lucy tolerates a male dog’s attempts to mount but mostly avoids interacting with him and instead seeks the handler’s attention. 1/21: Due to Lucy’s DOH status, a soft muzzle was placed on her before she is allowed into the pen. She displays nervous, but soft, body language when a novel male dog greets her. She is tolerant of his face to face greeting but becomes occupied with attempting to remove the muzzle so the session is ended. 1/25-1/28: In a group of small male and female dogs, Lucy displays loose and wiggly body language when socializing. She displays bouncy body language and solicits gentle play. 1/29: Lucy was uncomfortable around both small and medium sized dogs today. She avoided interacting with them and mosty sat in the corner.
