04/06/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
04/06/17 19:01 Basic Info Reggie is a 10 month Pit Bull whose owner had housing complications. He has not been to a vet before. Socialization Reggie is an outgoing dog that solicits attention from strangers when he sees them. He has lived in a house with a 9 month old, an 8 year old and a 9 year ol. He is playful and gentle when interacting with them. Reggie has had a few interactions with other dogs and he usually snaps at them but gets along with the the family friend dog who is an older female pit bull. He has never been around cats before. He has never bitten another person or animal. Behavior Reggie is used to being walked three times a day and if he gets all of his walks he usually will not use the bathroom indoors but sometimes has accidents. He does not destroy items in the household. He is not bothered by having his food touched or taken and the owner puts his hand in the food often. He is not bothered with his treats or toys being touched or taken. He is not bothered by being bathed. He does not bark often and if someone rings the bell he may bark oncebut thats it. New Family Reggie has a high level of energy at home and likes to follow owners around the house and be in the same room as them. He enjoys squeaky toys, rope and calcium bones. He tears up his dog beds so sleeps on a blanket in the living room. He is kept solely indoors and is fed purina and pedigree wet and dry mixed twice a day. He is mostly house trained and has accidents a few times a week. He is well behaved when left alone and knows the commandssit, come and stay. He pulls very hard on the leash when being walked and is not walked without a leash. Intake Behavior Reggie entered lobby with a loose body and wagging tail. During intake he jumped onto counselor and allowed scanning and allowed collaring but would shy away whenever counselor put hands abvove his head. Overall he allowed all handling and solicited attention and when brought back to his cage he would lunge and growl at neighboring dog and have to be brought back out to cool down. Once in the cage Reggie is shivering, giving whale eyes and a low growl towards counselor.

A volunteer writes: Reggie is such a little beauty and with a name like that, can’t you just hear the cute cockney accent he’d have if he could talk? He’s a timid boy and feeling pretty overwhelmed by the whole Care Center experience but notes from his former family tell us that at home he’s a typical puppy–loving, playful and just a tiny bit mischievous. Reggie lived in harmony with children and a baby and while he’s generally not keen on other dogs, he did enjoy spending time with an older pittie girlfriend who would visit with the family. His interests include chasing tennis balls, carrying squeaky toys and gently nibbling on treats and he’s a smart cookie himself, learning commands for come, sit and stay and doing well on his house training with 3 daily walks. Cool with sharing his toys or food, not bothered by baths and trustworthy when left home alone with people possessions too, Reggie’s one tiny act of rebellion is using fancy dog beds as chew toys so at night he curls up on a blankie instead. Patience, love, and a home where he can be the doggie King of the castle are the magic ingredients that will bring Reggie out of his shell and back into the limelight where he belongs. This beautiful baby is waiting for you at our Manhattan Care Center, ask to meet him today! Another volunteer writes: It takes some of us a little time to adjust to new situations, and Puppy Reggie is no exception. Scared when the only family he’s ever known left him in our care, he’s since opened up, rocks a bow tie, loves to play with his canine buddies, and is respectful of those who don’t want to play. He enjoys treats, taking them softly, gets playfully bouncy with a toy, and wags his tail watching some little dogs playing in an adjoining pen. His leash manners are lovely, and when he got comfortable with me he came over to get a good head scratch. Reggie is looking for a new person or family to love; he comes with an excellent resume from his former family and we know that with a little time to adjust, will be a wonderful companion. Sometimes, all we need is that extra little bit of time, and he’s so worth it!

04/09/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Full Profile 4/6/17 Unaltered Male, Owner Surrender Previously lived with: Adults and 3 children (Ages 9 months old, 8 years old and 9 years old) Behavior toward strangers: Social Behavior toward children: Social and gentle Behavior toward dogs: Has had few interactions, usually snaps at new dogs. Got along with a dog that belonged to a family friend. Behavior toward cats: Unknown Resource guarding: None Reported Bite history: None Reported Housetrained: No Energy level/descriptors: Reggie has a high level of energy. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 4/9/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Dog is tense. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is down, body tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low, and a bit fearful. 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 sniffs toy. Summary: Reggie appeared fearful in the assessment room, his body tense and at first backing away from the assessor. He did warm up during his assessment and he allowed all handling. PLAYGROUP: Reggie has displayed social, playful behavior toward male and female dogs in the care center. The previous owner of Reggie cites that he “snaps at new dogs” that he meets, though did not describe the context in which these instances occurred. He was described to have had successful interaction with a dog that belonged to a friend of his previous owner. The behavior department recommends slow introductions between Reggie and social, respectful dogs, to allow him time to acclimate to them at his own pace. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/6/17 During his initial medical exam Reggie showed teeth, growled and snapped. ENERGY LEVEL: Reggie’s owner described him as having a high level of activity. 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: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5): Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Reggie may be intimidated by young children. He needs a slow approach and time to warm up. He should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at his own pace. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Reggie has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers, at times avoiding interaction and shying away from direct touch. He displays proper warning signals as well as increasing distance from anything that may present a threat. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.
