11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Is that a deer I see? Is it a wolf? Is it a bear? No, it’s Scoogie– who has somehow managed to come out looking like a combination of all three!!! And there’s probably a bit of dog in there somewhere, too. 🙂 Sweet Scoogie lived with his owner for his entire life, and was brought into the shelter by a family member when his owner was hospitalized. Not surprisingly, Scoogie doesn’t seem to be loving shelter life and spends most of his days sleeping in his cage. But when I show up and put a leash on him, Scoogie gets a pep in his step and is happy to get outside and swing his tail. Scoogie seems to be housebroken and does fine with other dogs (although we get the impression he could take them or leave them), and walks perfectly well on a leash. Scoogie does seem a bit shy or nervous at first and can sometimes be surprised by sudden movements or loud noises, and for this reason we think he would do best in a home with experienced adopters and no children. Scoogie is a calm, initially timid and then very sweet pup who really just needs a relaxing environment to live out his final years in. Please come and see him today at the Brooklyn ACC!

Scoogie continues to be neutral, keeping to himself when off leash with another male dog. He is a little sensitive to genital sniffs, tucks him body and scurries away but this is most likely due to his skin’s condition. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/22/16 During his initial medical exam Scoogie was tens and caustious, he tolerated most handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced _X_No children (under 13)(See known history/potential challenges) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Scoogie has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Scoogie easily startles and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement and will display proper warning signals as well as increase distance from anything that may present a threat. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.)
