Slade
Hello, my name is Slade. My animal id is #17634. I am a male brown dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 04-Jan-2018.
Slade is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. Slade has been friendly and allows handing in the care center.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 41 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Date of intake:: 1/4/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Date of assessment:: 1/9/2018
Look:: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.
Sensitivity:: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.
Tag:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Toy:: 1. No interest.
Summary:: Slade came into the room loose and wiggly, he was friendly and social towards the handlers but can be mouthy at times.
Summary (1):: Slade was brought in as stray so his behavior around other dogs is unknown. 1/8: When off leash at the Care Center, Slade approaches the gate to greet the novel female. His posture is slightly stiff, they exchange a sniff and he walks away. After the gate is opened, Slade approaches the other dog with a tense posture and immediately chin-overs and pushes his chest on top of her. It is unclear if this behavior was conflict-based or sexually motivated.
Date of intake:: 1/4/2018
Date of initial:: 1/4/2018
Summary:: Active, attention seeking, allowed all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no known history on Slade so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a new home environment. We recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as a way to direct his energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks
Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition
Potential challenges comments:: Mouthiness/poor impulse control: Slade has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Slade’s teeth make contact with skin).
