03/28/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/28/16 15:11 Rosie is a young Staffordshire Bull Terrier / APBT mix. She was found by police in an empty house. They report that she was friendly when they took her and drove her to ACC. Rosie had a loose, wiggly body, open mouth, and wagging tail while we pet her, scanned her (-), collared her, and positioned her for pictures. While we held her leash, she grabbed, chewed, and tugged on her rope. She would stop if we dropped it. She showed some interest in a soft braided toy rope toy and another broken rope; she would play with them briefly, especially if we were holding them, but then drop them. Off-leash, she walked around, sniffed, and lied down by the door. She jumped up, leaned into us, and licked us while we pet her.

04/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Rosie is the perfect example of a puppy abandoned for “no time and needs training”. My assumption of course, as we do not know anything about Rosie but I bet that I am not too far from the truth…Rosie is beautiful, feminine and pretty looking like a rose. She is only eight months of age , quite active and mischievous. She gets very excited pretty quickly but it is a matter of sensing her limits and triggers to prevent her to get too worked up. Spending time with her, getting her accustomed to me got her all better too and by the time we had to end our session, Rosie was laying by me, her tush on my feet and enjoying caresses while savoring her tennis ball. Rosie pulls on the leash, does her business while in the street(it is not certain that she is house trained at this age) and seems happy to see her peers . Lots of tail wagging…She sometimes tries to “go for the leash” but a firm and non threatening : NO, gets her to stop. She sits beautifully on command and with some teaching, she learns to take politely treats from my hand. In playgroups with other dogs, Rosie seems to lack the skills to play in sync with her peers. She vocalizes(she does the same with us , humans), jumps, mounts…She is young, was never taught and needs to learn the proper manners… My hunch is that adorable Rosie was left to grow without much upbringing. She is smart, receptive to learning, treats helping and could become in the right hand a great dog and a wonderful forever best friend. Come and meet our lovely flower, Rosie at the Manhattan Care Center and make her yours.

03/30/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rosie pulls a bit on leash. She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, wagging tail. She was calm and relaxed during handling. Rosie played tug-of-war with the leash during tag interaction and was difficult to distract her. She was hard to position, but showed no aggression during the paw item. Rosie took the toy with a soft body language. Rosie show a bit of concern during the tag interaction she became a bit over arousal grabbing at the leash and was a bit difficult to distract her. Rosie is slow to de-escalate and sometimes requires intervention to help redirect. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. Her body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor. Tag: 3. Dog responds with her tail high, ears forward, mouth likely closed for at least half of the assessment item, body stiff and body checks the Assessor. Dog is often focused on other stimuli in the room. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Playgroup Notes: When off leash with other dogs Rosie is a little tense at first then attempts to solicit play. She seems to lack social skills as she attempts to jump on, mount and vocalize to solicit play, despite correction from the helper dog.

03/29/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When engaging with other dogs off leash Rosie is tense and often attempts to assert herself over both males and females. She does engage in play but becomes aroused as play intensifies, leading her to mount, growl/vocalize and correct inappropriately. She does, however, interact politely with dogs who do not choose to engage in play; she will sniff them then walk away. She arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing Rosie into a home with other dogs. When off leash with other dogs Rosie is a little tense at first then attempts to solicit play. She seems to lack social skills as she attempts to jump on, mount and vocalize to solicit play, despite correction from the helper dog. 3/30 update: Rosie sniffs and mostly roams the pen. 3/31 update: Rosie engages in running play with males and females. She mounts other dogs during play. She engages in play with a larger dog but offers a vocal correction when play becomes more exuberant. 4/1 update: Rosie engages in running play with males and females. She tends to get over aroused as play intensity increases–becoming tense, vocalizing and standing over dogs that are attempting to solicit. 4/2 update: Rosie continues to vocalize and solicit inappropriately with other dogs.
