04/29/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Stephanie doesn’t look quite like the other dogs: her head tilts a little and her eyes look like they aren’t quite positioned right. She can be a little shy and timid (maybe more so now that she’s away from the family she’s known since a puppy), but what a doll! She’ll cautiously approach staff members we encounter to say “hi’ and then lick their hands. She’s very easy to walk, takes treats nicely and seems housebroken. She previously lived with two other large dogs (she was affectionate with them) and a 7 and 12 year old (she loved to play with them!). When I pet her she puts the entire weight of her head into my hands. Her looks make it hard not to fall for her, but Stephanie’s sweet, sweet disposition make it impossible not to fall in love. Please come meet her at Brooklyn ACC!

Stephanie previously lived with 4 adults and 2 children ages 7 and 12 years old. The owner stated Stephanie is relaxed and playful around the children; she also lived with two other pit bulls in the home and is described as affectionate and relaxed around them. The owner mentioned Stephanie is housebroken and described her as mellow, sweet and affectionate. At intake it reported Stephanie was calm and relaxed, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Stephanie came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, she was friendly and social towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Stephanie was fearful with her body low during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Stephanie was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to Stephanie medical condition she can be sensitive around her face, and showing in response she was calm but a bit cautious. She previously lived with children and does well with them, so the behaviors department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter with no young children and we recommend calm older children around her.
