MOST RECENT MEDICAL INFORMATION AND WEIGHT
11/28/2016 Exam Type BEHAVIORPART2 – Medical Rating is 1 – NORMAL , Behavior Rating is EXPERIENCE, Weight 59.2 LBS.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Active, friendly, jumps up, allows all handling IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: 11/23/16: It was reported that a level 2 volunteer was removing Sally from room 2 and her level of arousal due to dog reactivity remained high after leaving the room. A few feet down the hall Sally spun around and caught the volunteers pant leg, but immediately let go. We are monitoring her behavior already and will continue to record any incidents. 11/28/16: An Enrichment Team member had a very difficult time removing Sally from her kennel on Sunday (11/27) and an even more difficult time handling her dog reactivity while leaving the Adoptions room. Sally was lunging, barking and snapping at every single cage. Sally has begun to deteriorate and allowing her to rehearse this behavior day after day does not benefit her overall well-being in the future. Additionally, handling her at this time poses a safety risk even for the experienced Behavior staff. The Behavior Department feels that Sally is no longer a suitable candidate for the Adoptions room and placement should be sought as soon as possible for her welfare. ENERGY LEVEL: Sally displays a high energy level in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience _X_No young children (under 5)(See potential challenges) _X_ Reccommend single dog home _X_Recommend no dog parks(See playgroup notes) Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding (We cannot be certain whether any guarding or possessive behavior may appear in a home environment, but we recommend adopters comfortable with safe management and modification of guarding behavior in case it does.)

10/18/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: When I first passed by Sally’s cage, I immediately recognized her from a previous stay with us (how could anyone forget this face!), and the mental note that popped in my head was “great on leash when not trying to play or get belly rubs.” And Sally is the same Sally I fondly remember! She comes to us (along with a cat) due to her owner’s eviction. She pulls inside the shelter (her neighbors seem to make her a little anxious, plus she seems housebroken and has gotta go!), but is easy to handle outside. She is very curious about all the goings on around her, but equally delighted by human company! She is super treat-motivated and will “sit” for them, and LOVES toys. She has a fair amount of energy but is happy to burn it off playing; she rears and gallivants around like a pony when I give her a squeaky toy, and can be encouraged into the zoomies–even empty-mouthed. Sweet Sally thrives on attention (and belly rubs, of course!) and has a lotta love to give in return…come check her out at Brooklyn ACC!
10/13/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY:Unknown Spayed, Owner Surrender SAFER ASSESSMENT: Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. 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. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed. Toy: 4. Dog becomes stiff. Summary: Sally displayed some concern during the resource portion of the assessment, becoming stiff. DOG-DOG ASSESSMENT: Selective: These dogs can succeed with certain other dogs, but may be more selective or picky. They may dislike certain ‘types’ of dogs or styles of dog play so they may require extra supervision when interacting with other dogs. PLAYGROUP: According to Sally’s previous owner, Sally does not like other dogs. No details were given. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Sally displays loose and wiggly body language when greeting a novel male dog. She solicits and engages in gentle play and explores the pen. Sally engages in a short burst of high energy play but then becomes anxious and paws at the gate to leave. She then offers correction when the male dog attempts to solicit play.
