05/06/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/06/17 13:59 Basic Information: Sasha is a 7 year old Spayed Gray and White APBT. She was a gift from a family member, and her current owner has to surrender because she lives in NYCHA and they don’t allow this type of breed. Her Owner is also expecting a baby and it’s becoming too much for her to handle her while pregnant. Sasha has some type of skin condition; she has had this since she was a puppy. Her most recent vet visit was around 4 years ago. Socialization: Sasha is friendly/ outgoing around strangers, she has been around children age 5 years old. She is gentle and respectful with both adults and children. When she plays with adults she engages with somewhat rough play, and plays gently with children. Sasha has lived with another dog that is also a female ABPT mix; they however did not get along. The two would bark and sometimes lunge at one another and would have to separate in different rooms of the home. Sasha does not have any bite history. Behavior: During fireworks/storms Sasha isn’t bothered. When food bowl is touched while eating its unknown how she will react because the act was never done. However when her treat, toy is taken away she is not bothered. Sasha isn’t bothered if pushed/pulled off furniture, hold/restrained, disturbed while sleeping. During bath time Sasha tries to get out of the tub, it may take more than one person to attain this task. She isn’t bothered when her coat is brushed, having nails trimmed. She will bark if an unfamiliar person approaches the home. For a New Family to Know: Sasha is described as excitable, friendly, playful, and affectionate. She has a very high activity level and likes long walks. Her favorite place to sleep is the children’s room, and she likes to play fetch and chase. Sasha is mostly indoors, eats Alpo dry and wet mix 3 times a day. Sasha is house trained, but has destroyed furniture when left in the home alone. Because of that issue, her owner crate trained her to stop the behavior. Sasha would be placed in crate when owner leaves for a little while and at night she would rest in it. She understands commands sit, and come, while on leash she does not pull. Sasha’s owner does not let her off leash because she is excited when she see squirrels, and does not want her to break free.

A volunteer writes: Nothing fierce about this Sasha. Our stunning, silver sweetheart is 6 years young and soft and lovely from her floppy ears to her white tippy-toes. Despite a few missing patches in her gorgeous, grey coat and some visible bones along her delicate spine, Sasha shows every sign of a girl who’s known love, immediately joining me on my bench, eager to make new friends. As she hops down to explore the rest of our green square I have to laugh at her bouncy gait, my silly ballerina. She rushes back to my feet, leaps like a gazelle back onto our bench, and sits expectantly at my side awaiting her next treat. Sasha joins us as her family is expecting a less furry, new addition, one of the two-legged kind. She is said to have lived well with young children, having slept each night in their room, and is described as friendly, playful, and affectionate. We’re told Sasha and her canine housemate weren’t the best of friends, and though it’s hard to imagine anyone not loving our dear girl, well, these things do happen. But not to worry. With looks, personality, and don’t forget that bouncy gait, Sasha not-so-fierce is sure to find one who adores her again. To become the queen B of her very own home and the holder of every heart. Sasha is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.

Summary: Sasha displayed no concerning behaviors on her assessment and was social throughout. PLAYGROUP: 5/11: Sasha is walked up to the gate to greet the helper dog. Sasha hard barks, growls, and charges at the gate while snapping. Sasha is muzzled before conducting off leash introduction. Once introduced off leash, Sasha is tense upon entering the pen. When the greeter dog approaches, she hard barks, growls, and continues to stand over him while growling. Handlers are able to distract and remove her from the pen. At this time, the behavior department recommends a single dog residence for Sasha. Follow up on her behavior around dogs should be conducted using only force free, positive reinforcement methods. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/8/17 During her initial medical exam, Sasha was tense.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Sasha so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: See PLAYGROUP While social and affectionate with his human caretakers, Sasha has been uncomfortable around other dogs. We recommend that this behavior be investigated further and a counterconditioning/desensitization protocol be instituted to address her underlying anxiety when she sees other dogs. Sasha should not interact with other dogs or go to dog parks until this behavior is addressed.
