A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes:  Oh sweet, soulful Sadie. A gorgeous girl with a coat the color of steel but clearly not made of the same. Sadie is effortlessly soft and lovely both inside and out, a beautiful, elegant bird so out of place in a cage. Sadie comes to us after an initial visit in April, her owners unfortunately again unable to provide her with the care she needs. But while on that first visit Sadie was a bit timid and shy, this time around she gravitated to my side straight away and clung to me close, as if recognizing a warm, friendly face. Sadie is a beautiful walker and appears to be housebroken, tending to her business straight away. She can’t help but wag her tail excessively when a pup approaches out on our walk, and later in the grass, sits contentedly at my side, as I chat with a fellow volunteer. In those quiet moments Sadie seems completely at peace and it’s so easy to imagine her sitting that way at her new family’s side, happy to watch the world spin around her. And while Sadie is still a bit shy initially with strangers, she opens up beautifully once comfortable. Sweet and soulful, soft and lovely, a beautiful bird just awaiting new wings. And I can’t wait to see her soar. Sadie is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

Look:  1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Paw squeeze 1:  2. Dog quickly pulls back.
Paw squeeze 2:  2. Dog quickly pull back.
Toy:  1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.

Summary:  Sadie approached the assessor with a soft body. She allowed all handling, was social, and displayed no concerning behaviors.

Summary:  Based on history and observation, Sadie may be most compatible with slow introductions to respectful dogss
Summary (1):  4/19: When introduced off leash to the male greeter dog, Sadie is stiff when approached.
Summary (2):  4/20: Sadie greets female dogs politely, but becomes more stiff with prolonged face to face greeting.
Summary (3):  6/13-6/15: Sadie keeps only to herself, remains tense upon approach.

Date of initial:  19-Apr-2018
Summary:  Sadie was gentle and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:  Sade is described as having a medium level of activity.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar;  TM – Treatable-Manageable
Potential challenges:  Fearful
Potential challenges comments:  Fearful: Sadie is reported to bark at new people until she is comfortable and warms up to them. It is important to always go slow and give Sadie the option to walk away from any social interaction. Sadie should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Sadie’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Sadie would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
