Nyla was adopted from BACC. Socialization: According to the owner, Nyla is friendly around strangers. She will try to jump and give kisses to people. She has not been around kids therefore behavior is unknown. Owner did not have cats in the home but did state that when she would walk Nyla, she would bark and try to lunge after stray cats that she noticed on the street. Owner had 3 other dogs in the home and stated that when Nyla was introduced to 2 of them, she started lip curling, barking and lunging after the other dogs. Behavior: Owner has never tried to take her food away, give her a bath or trim her nails so she is not sure as to how Nyla would react to having it done. OWner did mention that Nyla seems nervous around eating in front of other people and would not eat around owner until she left the room in the beginning. Nyla will growl when her treats are taken away. She is friendly when being pushed off furniture, having her toy taken away, having her coat brushed,being held/restrained, and when being disturbed when she is sleeping. When unfamiliar people would approach owners home or yard, Nyla would get excited and start jumping. For a New Family to Know: Nyla is described as friendly, playful, confident, excitable and can be pushy with a high activity level. When in the home, she likes to follow owner around and be in the same room as her. Nyla was kept indoors only and is house-trained. She only had 1 accident in the home where she peed when she was sick with kennel cough. When left alone in the home, will bark & whine but is very behaved. Owner has never left her outside in the yard alone. Nyla has been crate trained & owner stated she did good in a crate. She knows the commands sit, stay and paw.

Owner has never tried to take her off leash as she would run away. Nyla was fed both wet & dry food 3x a day,brand Whole Earth Farms. Owner feels that Nyla would do great in a single pet home as she is great with people but does not seem to like other dogs. Behavior during intake: Nyla was jumping and giving kisses during intake. She allowed all handling.

05/20/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Nyla is simply a delight!! She solicits attention from her cage and seems to see a friend in every new face. Not surprisingly, her previous owner says she’ll “walk up to just about anybody.” She has previously lived with infants and children and was very playful with them. Although she hasn’t lived with cats or dogs, she is reported to be calm when passing them and she has been trying out her social skills in our playgroups (she can be overly eager to play, but overall has done well!). She didn’t show any guarding issues in her last home and was even friendly if disturbed while sleeping…way to make the rest of us look bad, Nyla! She is always super fun and engaging when I take her out. She seems housebroken (and has previously been crate trained), loves to play fetch and will give “paw” for treats. Her eyes glow with an inner warmth and her wiggly back end emanates the joy she feels in the company of people. I can’t think of a better face to come home to! Please come meet Nyla at Brooklyn ACC…you’ll make her day!

Once in the pen, she was able to solicit and engage in gentle play. Although Nyla has shown some appropriate and social behavior at the Care Center around other dogs, due to her previous owner’s reports, we fell that she is best suited for a home with no other dogs. 6/15 update: Nyla whines at the gate.
