Puppychulo
Hello, my name is Puppychulo. My animal id is #20109. I am a desexed male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 06-Feb-2018.
Puppychulo was placed at risk due to behavior deteriorating; Puppychulo was lunging and snapping at each dog in their kennels. Also when the staff member attempted to place him back into his kennel, Puppychulo was still lunging and snapping and redirected onto the handler, grabbing and tearing his pants. He will benefit from placement outside the shelter as soon as possible.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: I could tell that Puppychulo was a good boy as soon as I walked up to his kennel–even though some of his neighbor-dogs were barking with excitement, he just looked up at me and sat down nicely and patiently. As easy on the leash as I thought he would be, Puppychulo showed excellent manners on our walk. He waited until we were outside to do his business, sat nicely for treats, and didn’t pull on the leash. When I returned him to his kennel, Puppychulo immediately ran over to his toy alligator and brought him over to me, eager to play! If you’re looking for a sweet puppy with lots of love to give, come and meet Puppychulo today at the Brooklyn ACC.
My medical notes are…

Summary:: Puppychulo came into the assessment room timid, loose and wiggly. He was friendly and social towards the handlers with a slow approach, he can be uncomfortable with fast movements.
Summary (1):: Puppychule was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 2/7: When off leash at the Care Centers, Puppychulo jumps on the gate, and paces the pens with high energy. His leash is held before the pen door is opened. Once he enters the pens, he jumps on the greeter dogs back and growls. The session is ended immediately.
Date of intake:: 2/6/2018
Summary:: Friendly and allowed all handling.
Date of initial:: 2/7/2018
Summary:: nervous, lip licks but wags tail.
ENERGY LEVEL:: Puppychulo displays a medium activity level in the care center.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 2/14/18: Today while being returned to his kennel in adoptions, Puppychulo was lunging and snapping at each dog in their kennels. When a staff member attempted to place him back into his kennel, Puppychulo was still lunging and snapping and redirected onto the handler, grabbing and tearing his pants. Due to this level of stress-related reactivity and the challenges posed in handling Puppychulo, The Behavior Department no longer feels he should be housed in the public adoptions area.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children: Puppychulo seems a bit uncomfortable with quick movements and may be most comfortable in a home without very young children. Dog-savvy young children can be considered pending interaction. He otherwise shows good coping skills, even when uncomfortable, and has been quite human social with his caretakers in the care center.
Potential challenges: : Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: The behavior department recommends allowing Puppychulo to approach his potential new adopters at his own pace. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Puppychulo to new and unfamiliar situations.
