Millie

Hello, my name is Millie. My animal id is #20699. I am a female fawn dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.

I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 14-Feb-2018.

Millie is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, as Millie can be a somewaht anxious dog, we suggest that she would be best suited to an adult only home.

My medical notes are…

Weight: 44.4 lbs

Details on my behavior are…

Behavior Condition: 4. Orange

  • Behavior Assessment

Date of intake:: 2/14/2018

Spay/Neuter status:: No

Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray

Date of assessment:: 2/16/2018

Look:: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.

Sensitivity:: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. Body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor.

Tag:: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends (may need coaxing to approach). Dog is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.

Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.

Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.

Toy:: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.

Summary:: Millie was fairly distracted throughout her assessment, barking and focused on assistant, though displayed no behavior concerns.

Summary:: Millie initially appeared nervous when introduced to dogs in the care center, though has opened up to playing gently with select male and female dogs. The behavior department feels Millie may be most compatible with dogs who are respectful and gently playful.

Summary (1):: 2/15: When introduced off leash to dogs, Millie is fearful upon approach and remains low to the ground. When solicited further, Millie runs away.

Summary (2):: 2/16: Millie greets a calm male dog politely and wanders the pen, occasionally checking in with him.

Summary (3):: 2/17: Millie attempts to solicit play from a calm male dog.

Summary (4):: 2/18: Millie keeps mostly to herself.

Summary (5):: 2/19: Millie is polite when greeting a calm male dog, and solicits some bouncy play from him.

Date of initial:: 2/14/2018

Summary:: During her initial medical exam, Millie was tense but allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Millie so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Millie displays as having a high level of energy. She will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised, such as walks, runs, exercise, and play.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: In the care center, Millie is anxious in kennel, may high pitch bark. She is wiggly and playful with staff in the yard.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: Due to the anxiety Millie has displayed in the care center in addition to some handling concerns, we feel an adult only home may be most beneficial at this time.

Potential challenges: : Fearful,Anxiety,Strength/leash pulling

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Millie is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Millie the option to walk away from any social interaction. Millie should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Millie’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Millie would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings Anxiety: Millie has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, barking) continually through the SAFER and while in kennel. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Millie, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment. She may benefit from a calm, quiet, structure, routine home. Leash Pulling: Millie pulls hard on leash. She is a strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. Her adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that she be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish her strength through leverage, and that she be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
