03/30/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/30/16 15:42 Roxy is a 5 year old female American Pit-Bull Terrier. She was given to owner as a gift and has been in his care since she was 3. Roxy is being surrendered into our center due to owner no longer having time to care for her. There are no known health injuries or problems. With strangers she is friendly, and plays somewhat rough with adults because she jumps up on them. Lived with children ages up to 4 years old and was relaxed, wasn’t allowed to interact with the children. Lived with a male of same breed age 7 and she was energetic and very playful. With smaller breed dogs she is shy. She had bitten another person provoked and skin was broken but not within the last 10 days. Her behavior is good, isn’t bothered during storms or fireworks. Isn’t bothered when her food bowl is being touched, or when objects or treats are being taken away. Struggle when its bath time and isn’t bothered when her nails are being trimmed. Behavior is unknown when her coat is brushed. Likes to be held and is friendly when being restrained. When unfamiliar people approach the home she barks, when unfamiliar people approach you she isn’t bothered. Roxy is described as being very playful with a high activity level that will do well in the family home. When home she likes to play with her toy balls or play in the yard for exercise every day. He had a free choice to be indoors or out, slept on a bed and ate both wet and dry food once a day usually at night. She is house trained and rarely has accidents within the home. When left alone in the house she is well behaved even when she is outdoors. She was crate trained as a puppy but no longer is. Roxy knows commands such as “sit” and “stay”. When on the leash she doesn’t pull and when off she wanders but will come when called. Usually she potty on the grass or cement. During intake Roxy was nervous counselor scanned (negative), collared and photographed.

04/06/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Roxy is a little shy and timid, but also a whole lotta sweet! She needed a little coaxing out of her cage when we first met, but would quickly wag her tucked tail when I spoke to her. Once I let her in the yard she wasted no time in the affection department; she burrowed her head into my legs when I knelt on the ground and when I sat on the bench she literally climbed into it and sat down! On subsequent walks she has still seemed unsure about the strange new environment she finds herself in, but is coming out of her shell more and more. In her previous home she was reported to be friendly with adults, children and her male canine housemate. She is described as very playful, housetrained (she seems it) and well behaved when left alone (indoors or out). Could this girl with the beautiful eyes and soft personality be your new family member? Come meet her at Brooklyn ACC and find out!

04/01/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Roxy came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner no longer having the time to properly care for Roxy. According to the owner Roxy is friendly to both children and adults, but plays somewhat rough as she likes to jump up while playing. She does come to us with a previous bite history during a dog interaction with a shih tzu when the owner of the shih tzu hit Roxy on the face with their hand. As result, Roxy bit the owner of the shih tzu breaking skin and then ran away towards her owner. Upon intake Roxy was nervous but did allow to be handled. She was a bit nervous when entering the behavior room but was very interested in interacting with the assessor. She greeted the assessor by jumping up and rubbing her head on the assessor’s hands. She allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items without displaying any signs of aggression. She only displayed minimal interest in the toy items on this portion of the assessment. Due Roxy’s previous bite history and her nervous nature the behavior team believes that Roxy will do best in a home with an experienced owner. We suggest Roxy is interacted with slowly and given the opportunity to warm up when interacting with her. 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: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are back. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then walks away. Roxy appears nervous at the gate, and once in the pen she avoids greeting but eventually exchanges sniffs. She wanders the yard the rest of the interaction.
