A staff member writes: When we think of pierogis, we think of delcious looking appetizers that warm our bellies. When I look at Pierogi, I think of a delicious looking Pittie that warms my heart. He came in a stray, but my intuition says he came from a loving home, and he just wandered away, but isn’t really lost. He has the shiniest brindle coat, well trimmed nails, knows his commands, and play bows at his canine friends as they pass by. Pierogi has a beautiful exterior and interior, just like the appetizers. Come by ACC today to get a sample of his warm & kind demeanor, and to make him part of your family today. A volunteer writes: ‘Er, excuse me ma’am, have we met? I’m Pierogi, and I’m sitting here so politely waiting for my walk. Yes, I have a toy in my mouth as I like to just hold it there…I agree, I do look kind of cute like that. It’s my charm! Here, I’m coming forward and will sit politely while you leash me. OK, let’s head outside as I must go potty! Yes, I’ve been told I’m stunning but I won’t let it go to my head. I can be as playful and silly as the next guy, love to get my zoomies on, love to play with a ball, and love to give kisses. The silly humans named me Pierogi–maybe because I’m the sweetest dumpling they’ve ever met? I know how to sit, I love treats and take them gently, and I also know ‘stay’, well, up to a point that is, and then I come running :). I know about furniture and really like to sit on a chair when one is available, and will pose for photos on it with my cutest face on. When I go back into my kennel I like to arrange my bedding to be comfortable, and then just lie down, toy in mouth, to wait for my next walk. I’m one part snuggles, one part playful, one part smart as heck, and you can just keep adding on the parts! I’d love a new home as I’m ready to move forward with a family or person of my own. They don’t call me “Mr. Social” for nothing. So, come meet me today and let’s get this love affair going.

04/04/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/29/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 4/4/17 Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds Toy: 1. Minimal interest, dog takes toy then drops and loses interest. Summary: Pierogi displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment, he was social throughout. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Play Skill Novice: These dogs lack appropriate skills to engage in proper play. They may become stuck on one behavior; lack pauses or breaks in play and often ignores warning signs from other dogs to slow down. Play should end when the other dog in the didactic pair signals it is over. PLAYGROUP: Pierogi is exuberant at play with other dogs in the care center (rough, wrestling style of play). He often solicits by bowing, paw slapping, and offering body bumps. Pierogi at times has been observed to continue attempting to engage in play with dogs who offer correction or are uncomfortable with his play style. The behavior department feels that Pierogi may be most compatible with other highly playful dogs, or those who are tolerant of exuberant play. Pierogi has not yet been introduced to a male dog in our care, so behavior around them is unknown. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/29/17 During his initial medical exam, Pierogi was playful and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Pierogi so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)

04/05/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Pierogi is exuberant at play with other dogs in the care center (rough, wrestling style of play). He often solicits by bowing, paw slapping, and offering body bumps. Pierogi at times has been observed to continue attempting to engage in play with dogs who offer correction or are uncomfortable with his play style. The behavior department feels that Pierogi may be most compatible with other highly playful dogs, or those who are tolerant of exuberant play. Pierogi has not yet been introduced to a male dog in our care, so behavior around them is unknown. 4/5: Due to DOH quarantine status, Pierogi is muzzled for off leash interaction. Pierogi is highly distracted by the presence of the muzzle. He approaches and greets the female greeter dog with neutral body language, then offers a small wag. 4/12: Pierogi is not muzzled for this interaction. He engages in exuberant play, and solicits by jumping on, body slamming, and bouncing around the helper dog. 4/14: Pierogi is initially exuberant in his play. He will engage in appeasement behaviors but as he gets more comfortable with the female greeter dog, he will become softer in his play and explore the yard. 4/28-5/2: Pierogi continues to be exuberant in his play with other dogs.
