A volunteer writes: Precious is an energetic, pigeon-chasing, people-kissing little bay of excitement. She’s interested in everything and her attention span could use a little work. 🙂 She’s not really sure if she likes toys yet– if you throw a ball for her, it’s the greatest thing in the world for about 1.2 seconds– until she discovers the next greatest thing in the world (it could be jumping up on the bench next to you to lick your face, it could be running after her own leash, or it could be staring at a pigeon through the fence)! Precious would love to be with an experienced owner who leads an active lifestyle and can give her the love and care she needs– come and see her at the Brooklyn ACC today!

The Behavior Department recommends that Precious be placed with polite resident dogs that match her calm sociability. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 07/10/17 Upon intake, Precious was friendly and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 07/11/17 During her initial medical examination, Precious was attention seeking though began tense upon some handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: Precious is a young, dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Precious’s previous owner notes that she may growl when her food bowl is approached. We recommend that Precious be left alone while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Precious’s mouth, and any time something is removed she should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. She should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. _X_Fearful: Precious was timid throughout the assessment and did not readily approach or maintain any proximity to the assessor. She was tolerant of handling but needed considerable coaxing to position, and did not seem to warm up to the assessor during the assessment. She was curious and would approach to sniff, but moved away whenever the assessor tried to initiate contact. She also avoided even gentle petting on the back. She also showed some noise sensitivity, startling when he heard loud noises outside the room.
