03/02/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/02/16 15:40 BASIC INFORMATION Max is a 1 year male American Pit-Bull terrier. He was given to his owner as a gift from a friend, he is being surrendered into our facility due to owner no longer being able to care for him because of personal reasons. There are no known health injuries or concerns SOCIALIZATION Around strangers he is friendly and outgoing and when playing with adults he is gentle. He lived with a 6 year old girl and with her he was relaxed, playful and gentle. He has spent time with other dogs, but it only has been while he was in the dog park and was gentle when interacting. Has no experience around any cats. There is no known history of him biting another person or animal. BEHAVIOR Sometimes Max can destroy things in the home, and have tissue everywhere. He also can pee inside the home. During fireworks or storms he isn’t bothered. You are able to touch his food bowl while he is eating; he isn’t bothered when treats or object are being taken away from him. During bath time it is a struggle and he will try to leave the tub. He isn’t bothered when being held or restraint; when he sees other dogs and wants to get to them so he can play. When unfamiliar people approach you or the home he is friendly and unbothered. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Max is described as being playful with a very high activity level. He was mostly kept outdoors; he has his own bed and ate dry Pedigree at least 3 times a day. When home he will follow you around, or play with his balls and squeaky toys. He enjoys playing fetch and tug. Mostly house trained, he rarely has accidents in the home. When left alone he destroys things in the house; Max knows “sit” “down” “come” and “no”. For exercise he goes to off leash dog parks, when on the leash he pulls lightly. Max usually potty on the dirt. During intake Max displayed a very loose body, jumped on counselor (non-aggressive) to hug and give kisses. Counselor was able to scan (negative), collar and photograph.

03/06/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Introducing the sweetest giant puppy around…Max! He sports a slight overbite which means his smiles are that much cuter. He is extremely wiggly and friendly…just talking to him sets his entire back end in motion! Whenever I’ve taken him out he’s faced with the tough dilemma of dividing his attention and excitement between me and the admirers we inevitably encounter. When he gets TOO excited he can get a little humpy, but it very much seems to be in a “I don’t know what to do with myself!” way, and not in a way that seems like it will escalate. The good news is he’s also super excited about toys and treats. He lights up at the sight of anything bouncy, stuffy, or squeaky and is a star at fetch. He is very food motivated and already knows basic commands including “paw” and “down.” He loves to be pet, will gently lick my hands, and insists that he is a lap dog. He previously lived with a 6 year old child, hung out with other dogs at the dog park, and is said to be mostly housetrained. Max is looking for a home that can give him the exercise he needs, the companionship he craves, and the love he so deserves! He can’t wait to meet you at Brooklyn ACC!

03/05/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Max came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner’s personal reasons. According to the owner Max is gentle, social and playful with everyone he meets including the 6 year old child he lived with. It was also reported that Max can sometimes destroy things in the home but we don’t have much details regarding what items were destroyed. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Max will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so Max can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Max was very social when taken out of his kennel, and while on a relief walk he became over aroused and constantly tried to mount the handler. He was very interested in interacting with the assessor when entering the behavior room. He became a bit over stimulated and attempted to mount the assessor as well, but calmed down quickly. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining sofy body language. Max engaged in play with the assessor during the tag interaction and calmed quickly at the end of the item. He proved easy to handle when chewing on the toy item and relinquished it to the assessor. When on an on-leash dog interaction; Max rushed in quickly with soft body language toward the helper dog. We believe that Max can go to a home with an experienced owner. 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 leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, and open mouth. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. He indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog might jump on Assessor once play begins. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy 1: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with body soft, tail spine level, ears forward.

03/07/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Max is hyper-motivated to engage and is primarily sexually motivated. He rushes in with intense bows and bounces but immediately attempts to mount. He is persistent after being interrupted by the handlers and after being corrected by the other dog for his behavior. 3/9 update: Max rushes the gate but offers exhuberant play bows. Once inside the pen he throws his body onto the helper dog as a play solicitation and is corrected, several times. He does responds to those corrections and slow himself down and takes breaks. However, he ramps his energy back up very quickly. 3/10 update: Max can be a bit overwhelming with some dogs. His playstyle is rowdy, and he throws his body onto of female dogs and then leads into a mount. His behavior become a little more controlled when introduced to another male dog.
