08/22/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/22/16 20:02 Nany was brought to the ACC because of landlord issues. She was reported to be friendly around strangers if her owners are around- she will go up to them and jump/lick them. She lived with a child about three or four years old. She liked to play with this child, especially running around. She was gentle with the child. With adults she play exhuberantly. She lived with one other dog most of her life. They would play gently with eachother and would sleep together most nights. She lived with cats but had to be kept completely separate from them because she would chase them/try to bite them. She has never actually bitten a person or animal. She becomes fearful during loud noises and will bark and hide during fireworks. Nany is not bothered when people take away food, treats, or toys. She enjoys being held and enjoys baths and being brushed. She will growl, bark, and snap if someone unfamiliar comes into the yard- previous owners trained her to do this.She was described as friendly, affectionate, and playful. She loves to follow her owners around the house and will sleep with them in bed. She knows many basic commands, sit, stay, etc in spanish and english. She is completely house trained. At the ACC, Nany was very well behaved- she listened to all commands her owner gave her and displayed loose body and open mouth. she accepted treats from counselor’s hand and allowed for collaring.
08/27/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “Nany, nany, boo, boo…” Adorable, silly, ridiculous, and delicious pup alert! (I think that’s classified as a “Code Pink”). If 2 year-old Nany were to be asked her top three favorite things to do it would be “smile,” “laugh,” and then “laugh some more!” Nany is absolutely gorgeous in her pristine, buttermilk coat and I so love her perfectly delicate face. Her eyes are bright and sparkling at all times and she’s a tiny, compact peanut at only 49 lbs. Nany was surrendered to our care as her family was moving somewhere she wasn’t welcome. Oh had only her potential new landlord met her! I’m certain they would have been instantly charmed and made an allowance straight away. But no matter. Their loss is your gain! Nany appears to be housebroken going right away and while a bit of a jumping bean did quite well on our walk. But a star this bright needs be admired and when it came time for our photoshoot, Nany pulled out all the stops. As we paused on a busy Manhattan street to snap a few pics Nany immediately went into fashion model mode. Before I could even pull out my camera she was dazzling passersby with that megawatt smile and in no time at all a small crowd had gathered. Designed for the spotlight Nany kicked it up into high gear giving me all her best angles (truth be told she has no bad ones) and delighting everyone with her playful antics. “She is just too much!” a woman from the crowd exclaimed. “Just enough,” I smiled back. Nany may love having a sea of admirers but what she truly desires is to be sole apple of someone’s eye. Don’t miss your chance to catch this shooting star. Nany is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.
08/24/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Nany pulls a bit on the leash. She was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up, mouthy (moderate). Nany was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. She did a lot of jumping up, body checking and played tug-of-war with the leash during tag interaction. Nany took the toy with a soft body language. Nany was surrender to us. According to the owner she is friendly around strangers if her owners are around- she will go up to them and jump/lick them. She lived with a child about three or four years old. She liked to play with this child, especially running around. She was gentle with the child. With adults she plays exuberantly. She lived with one other dog most of her life, they would play gently. She lived with cats but had to be kept completely separate from them because she would chase them/try to bite them. Nany is not bothered when people take away food, treats, or toys. Nany is an active dog she need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 3. Dog jumps on the Assessor, consistently rubs his shoulder on the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. Her body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor. Tag: 3. Dog responds with her tail high, ears forward, mouth likely closed for at least half of the assessment item, body stiff and body checks the Assessor. Dog is often focused on other stimuli in the room. Squeeze 1/2: 2. Dog gently places her open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place his body between you and the toy. Dog-to-dog: When introduced off leash to another dog, Nany remains tense and uncomfortable. She offers a strong correction when approached by the male greeter dog. The intensity of corrections begin to increase with repeated approach.
08/24/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When introduced to another dog in the care center, Nany approaches and sniffs though the fence, body tense, hackles raised, and begins to lip curl. She vocalizes as the handler begins to walk her away. For safety reasons, a basket muzzle is applied before proceeding with off leash with interaction. When introduced off leash to another dog, Nany remains tense and uncomfortable. She offers a strong correction when approached by the male greeter dog. The intensity of corrections begin to increase with repeated approach. The previous owner of Nany cites “She lived with one other dog (female) most of her life. They would play gently with eachother and would sleep together most nights.” However, the behavior team feels that Nany would be most comfortable as the only resident dog in a new home, before introducing her to unfamiliar dogs outside the care center environment. 8/27: Nany is not muzzled. She continues to offer defensive correction upon approach.
