A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes:  A hidden gem is waiting for you and her name is Treasure! Seven years young and full of happy curiosity in the world around her, this salt’n’pepper beauty is always at the front of her den waiting for a friend to accompany her on a walk through the park. She pulls at first but once her business is done she’ll slow to a gentle stroll, sniffing around a little and greeting passing dogs with friendly good manners, perked ears and a high tail and she’s very friendly and polite in playgroup too. While modeling for photos isn’t Treasure’s favorite thing to do, she still sits politely on command and takes her reward treats with a soft mouth, and when I crouch down and call her over she lays her head on my knee for petting, all the while keeping an eye out for any exciting goings-on in the park she might be missing. Treasure is a good girl with an affectionate heart, a great behavior assessment and years of experience as a pet. Discover her for yourself at our Manhattan Care Center and you could be reaping the priceless reward of a lifetime of love!
A volunteer writes: All hail the Queen of belly rubs! Treasure is a snuggler extraordinaire and I’m fairly sure this salt’n’pepper beauty could spend the whole day just chilling out with her head on a familiar lap, luxuriating in endless tummy massages. She’s seven years young and full of happy curiosity, always keen to meet new folks and usually waiting not-so-patiently at the front of her den for a friend to accompany her on a walk through the park or join her in a backyard cuddle session. Treasure pulls at first but once her business is done she’ll slow to a gentle stroll, sniffing all around and greeting passing dogs with friendly good manners, perked ears and a high tail. She’s sociable and polite in playgroup too and though modeling for photos isn’t her favorite thing to do, she’ll still sit obediently on command and take her reward treats with a light touch while I try to capture her unique good looks ‘on film’. A sweet girl with an affectionate heart, a great behavior assessment and years of experience as a loyal pet, Treasure is the hidden gem you never knew your life was missing. Discover her at our Manhattan Care Center and soon you could be reaping the priceless reward of a lifetime of love!

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment: 18-Jun-2018

Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted, body posture is stiff and fearful, tail is low and not moving. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, tail is between legs, body stiff, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick.

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.

Flank squeeze 1: Item not conducted

Flank squeeze 2: Item not conducted

Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. Dog does not place his/her body between you and the toy.

Summary: Treasure approached the assessor with a soft body. She appeared a bit anxious in the assessment room, panting and having a tucked tail. She solicited attention from the assessor by leaning into the assessor and stayed close by throughout the assessment. She allowed all handling.

PLAY GROUP :

Based on behavior observed int he care center, Treasure may be most compatible with other dogs that are polite and calm. Treasure is respectful and tolerant when greeting other calm dogs.

6/15: When introduced off leash to a male greeter dog, Treasure ignores him and explores the pen.

6/16-17: Treasure explores the yard, keeping mostly to herself, but allows greeting.

6/18: Treasure is polite when greeting other dogs.

6/19: Treasure approaches and greets all.

Date of initial: 15-Jun-2018

Summary: Treasure was a bit tense but allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Treasure so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a medium level of activity.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Potential challenges: Anxiety

Potential challenges comments: Anxiety: Treasure appears anxious in the care center, panting heavily and whining. We have no history on her in a home, so we do not know if this behavior will be present outside of the care center. If it does occur, we recommend giving her puzzle toys, long walks, and things to do to relieve her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, reward based training only should be used.
