A staff member writes: Meet Royal Oak! Royal Oak came in as a stray but her finder kept her for 3 days. During this time, the finder stated that Royal had been around adults and children and was playful and friendly toward everyone! In our Care Center, Royal has been just as sweet. She is a super wiggly girl with tons of energy, so she needs an adopter who can keep up with her! If you’re interested in meeting Royal Oak, hurry on down to our Brooklyn Care Center today!

BEHAVIOR :

SAFER: AVERAGE HOME

Royal Oak came in as a stray, the finder kept Royal Oak for 3 days. The owner stated she has been around 2 adults and children ages 4 and 6 months old, she was playful and respectful towards children and adults in the home. The finder mentioned Royal will chase and lunge at cats she sees. It was reported by the finder Royal is house trained and when left alone Royal will destroy the bathroom such as the shower curtains.

At intake it was reported Royal Oak was friendly with loose body posture, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Royal Oak came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was very friendly and affectionate towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Royal joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Royal was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Royal Oak is reported to show destructive behavior in the home, such as destroying curtains in the bathroom. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Royal will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so Royal can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.

Look: 1. Dog leans forward or jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted.

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 likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.

Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins.

Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed.

Toy: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog smells, then turns away.

Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral.
