01/21/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: This petite girl won my heart by instantly getting the hang of Sit, with just a gentle word and no treats! (Her cute little eye patch and wiggly gait didn’t hurt either.) For such a young dog, Sky seems to have been tutored by Miss Manners herself: She seems housebroken, doesn’t pull on the leash, takes treats gently, looks back often to reassure me we’re still a team, and is so calm that I take her exploring around the less familiar blocks of the neighborhood, though we’ve barely just met. Sky passes birds, other dogs, strangers and stray cats without drama, and only slightly flinches at loud trucks. In play group with her peers, she is said to be a bit skittish, though she lived with another dog (and a toddler), and they got along well. Sky was quite timid when she first got here as her owner was moving, but she is quickly coming out of her shell and would make someone a fine friend and companion. Could that someone be you? Come to Brooklyn ACC soon to find out!

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/13/17 During her medical examination, Sky was fearful but allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience) _x_Recommend no dog parks (Sky is able to engage in play with one play partner but becomes overwhelmed with multiple play partners. The Behavior Department recommends that Sky initially not be taken to dog parks and that she has adequate time to decompress from the shelter environment. Her behavior towards other dogs should initially be addressed in a more controlled setting.)
