A volunteer writes: I met Maxine this past weekend as I approached her immaculately clean kennel. I see her sitting very calmly not making a whole lot of ruckus like her kennel mates. I leash her up and we head to the yard. Maxine is shy at first, not wanting the treats I’m offering her but as time wears on she decides to join me on the bench and partake of the treats after that I petted her and we played a bit in the yard. She keeps looking for her owner through the fence in the yard and it breaks my heart. Maxine is a wonderful sweet dog who would make a nice companion or family pet. If your interested in adopting Maxine she is located at the Animal Care Center on Staten Island. Another volunteer writes: If ever you’re having a bad day, Maxine is the one you want to see! She lets me know the moment she sees me how happy she is that I’m there, and those big hazel eyes of hers eagerly watch me as I unlock her cage. She’s a little jumpy to start because of her happy exuberance, but once we’re outside, she calms down and is all business. Many times during her stay, she’s been the only girl in a room full of boys, but she holds her own. Sometimes it seems that they follow her lead when it comes to behaving in their cages. If you’re looking for a pretty, one-puppy welcoming party every time you walk through the door, sweet Maxine is who you want. If you’re interested in adopting this happy girl, stop by our Care Center on Staten Island.

Summary: Maxine was slightly mouthy during assessment, not applying any pressure. Maxine displayed no behavioral concerns. PLAYGROUP: Maxine continues to engage in rough, pushy play and can be assertive at times. May do best with a tolerant dog, an in-depth interaction with any other resident dog is recommended before considering adoption. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/20/2016 Maxine was nervous during her initial medical exam but allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Maxine is a young, active, exuberant dog who will need daily mental and physical exercise and stimulation to appropriately direct her energy. We recommend durable, engaging toys like Kongs as well as puzzle feeders for meals. She is also reported to pull hard on leash, so for that we recommend walking her on a front-clip harness.

10/23/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
****May do best with a tolerant dog, and an in-depth interaction with any other resident dog is recommended before considering adoption.**** Gentle leader is recommended when off leash with other dogs**** When off leash with other dogs, Maxine is tolerant and gentle with both male and female dogs. She does display assertive beavior, can get over aroused with a large rowdy male and offer a disproportionate correction, but responds well when corrected by handlers. Maxine appears to tolerate submissive females, without correcting, better than male dogs. October/ November / december When greeted by an assertive female, Maxine and the other dog both became over aroused and started jumping at each other. When a handler stepped in to correct both dogs, Maxine responded right away and backed away. Maxine was very polite and playful when greeted by a submissive and shy female. She often solicited her attention and stayed close to her. When Maxine attempted to mount the female she responded appropriately and did not escalate when corrected by the dog and handlers.Maxine engage in rough play with social males, she can get assertive with new dogs and offer disproportionate corrections. Maxine continues to display the same behavior when off leash with other dogs. She attempts to mount other dogs but is intolerant and over corrects when other dogs attempt to mount her. 1/25 – 1/26 update Maxine continues to display the same assertive behaviors. When wearing a gentle leader, Maxine is more relaxed and often lies on the ground, because she is uncomfortable but eventually she did appear to be more relaxed with the gentle leader on. She engaged in brief play with a new male and responded appropriately when corrected for mounting.
