01/27/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Mister March is a very, very happy boy–his tail wags so much in his cage that it sounds like a beating drum–his very own soundtrack! Not only is March cheerful, but he is super easy to walk (doesn’t pull on the leash), seems to be housetrained, and knows how to sit for treats. Come and see this pretty boy at the Brooklyn ACC today.

When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, March is sexually motivated when interacting with female dogs. He persistently mounts them, ignoring handler interruptions and corrections from other dogs. While mounting, he may begin to low growl and requires handlers to remove him from the female dog. When greeting a male through the fence, March becomes reactive, barking and muzzle punching at the gate. They are not introduced. Due to the lack of sociability demonstrated by March while here at the Care Center, the Behavior Department recommends that he be the only resident dog. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/18/17 During his medical examination, March was bouncy, attention-seeking, and allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience) _x_Single-dog home/Recommend no dog parks (Due to March’s lack of appropriate sociability towards other dogs while here at the Care Center, the Behavior Department recommends that March not be placed in a home with other dogs at this time. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to counter-condition and desensitize March to help him associate other dogs with positive experiences, such as toys or treats.)
