Sienna
Hello, my name is Sienna. My animal id is #18859. I am a desexed female brown dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 21-Jan-2018.
Sienna is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Siena is suitable for an experience home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
Sienna is a 70 pound cinnabon, she is just that sweet and her kindness is tasty. Sienna came in as a stray, but from the start she showed how friendly and well-mannered she is. Sienna is very treat motivated. When Sienna is around her humans, she solicits play and attention. She loves to have rubbies and to be told she is a pretty girl. Sienna loves to engage in play with all different kinds of toys, and she wants them all to herself.Sienna is a bit timid and may be a little protective over things. Aside from that, she gives the best cuddles and kisses. Sienna would do best in an adult only home where she is also the only pet in the home. Sienna really deserves an opportunity to show everyone just how amazing she is. She would love if someone would give her a chance in her forever home.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 70.2 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
Date of intake:: 1/21/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Date of assessment:: 1/23/2018

Sensitivity:: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.

Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Toy:: 3. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. Body is stiff.
Summary:: Sienna came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly and social towards the handlers but showed some behavior concerns during toy item.
Summary (1):: Sienna was brought in as a stray so her behavior around other dogs is unknown. 1/22: Sienna approached the gate to greet the novel male, froze, growled, and then lunged while muzzle punching the fence and chattering her teeth. Due to this behavior, she was not introduced to the other dog. 1/30: Sienna begins participating in counter-condition sessions. Sienna was given treats when she looked at the other dog and did not show any signs of reaction. She maintained soft body language as the helper dog was systematically moved closer to her. She was food motivated, constantly taking treats, and was able to stay focused on the handler instead of the other dog.
Date of intake:: 1/21/2018
Date of initial:: 1/21/2018
Summary:: Timid, sweet, allowed all handling
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5),Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to potential resource guarding behavior. Sienna gave an appropriate warning of her discomfort (becomes tense) but we feel that young children may not know to respect this warning. Older, dog savvy children can be considered as long as the adults feel confident that Sienna can be left alone while playing so she does not need to escalate to a growl. Behavior modification for food guarding behavior can be found at aspcapro.org. Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to the behaviors that Sienna has shown during playgroup, we feel that she should not visit dog parks and should be the only resident dog. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Sienna develop a positive association with other dogs.
Potential challenges: : Resource guarding
Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Sienna is reported to become tense with toy resources. It is important to leave Sienna alone while she is playing and never to take anything directly from her mouth. When she is asked to drop something she should be traded for an item of equal or higher value, in order to reward Sienna for relinquishing the item she has.
