Luna Lovegood
Hello, my name is Luna Lovegood. My animal id is #19474. I am a female tan dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 29-Jan-2018.
Luna Lovegood is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Indectious Reapiratory Disease Complex which is contageous to other dogs. She will likely require in home care with a course of antibiotics. We recommend Luna Lovegood be placed with a rescue partner prior to being placed in an adopters home, New Hope Only determination.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: I had such a great time with Luna Lovegood! After our pleasant stroll around the block, Luna L and I sat down for a talk and some petting on a bench. I just caressed her head and face. Luna L seemed to like it. In the street, we neared in a civil way other pooches, and she did not (for me and other volunteers) go after birds and pigeons. She is such a pretty gal with bright and clever eyes, smartly dressed in a salt and pepper coat, trim and all together, an elegant dame. Luna L truly revealed herself, leash free in the yard. The smart girl spotted some new balls left on a bench, got hold of one of them and started to play on her own. And me, me??? I want to play too!!! Luna Lovegood agreed and the game started. Oh, she loves her toys, she could play for ever, running and jumping after a tennis ball, always catching it and bringing it toward me. Although she never released it into my hand, she did not mind me caressing her while she was chewing on it. I forgot to say that Luna L sits beautifully on command, lays down, comes right away upon request or hops on a chair. Luna L is very obedient. She also takes treats very gently from the hand. Well, in a nutshell, we had a blast together. She is such a spirited gal and I so hope that soon enough, she will meet the Sheppie lover who will steal her heart. Luna Lovegood is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

Sensitivity:: 5. Dog freezes, growls, or tries to bite.
Toy:: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His/her body is between you and the toy, and is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness.
Summary:: Luna Lovegood approached the assessor in the assessment room with a soft body and leaned into the assessor, soliciting attention. During sensitivity, she raised her lip, appropriately displaying her discomfort, so the handling portion of the assessment was not completed.
Summary:: Luna Lovegood has displayed minimal interest in interacting with other dogs in the care center. Any future introductions should be conducted at a slow pace to dogs who are respectful and calm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Luna Lovegoos has been slightly uncomfortable in the shelter environment, flinching and moving away from touch from handlers. However, she will warm up and become social with handlers while engaging outside the kennel. She continues to be cautious of touch, but will engage with handler after a slow approach.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to handling sensitivity displayed at the care center, we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to handling sensitivity displayed at the care center, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Luna Lovegood has displayed handling sensitivity at the care center, giving appropriate warning signals when uncomfortable by raising her lip. It is important to always go slow and give Luna Lovegood the option to walk away from any social interaction. Her warnings should be closely observed and listened to. Luna Lovegood should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Luna Lovegood’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Luna Lovegood may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
