Triumph
Hello, my name is Triumph. My animal id is #11582. I am a male black 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 03-Nov-2017.
Triumph 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. Triumph is suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: This big-headed boy is curious, energetic, and snuggly. Triumph loves to stop and investigate every possible friend (preferably human), toy, and treat he finds on our walks together, and his energy level makes me think he’d be a great running buddy. Triumph seems to be housetrained, knows how to sit for a treat nicely and take it very gently from your hand, and LOVES to chase a ball (even if he hilariously never actually picks it up, just runs over to it). When we sat down in the play area to take a break today, Triumph was quick to jump up into my lap–although I’m still trying to figure out whether it was to look for treats or cuddles. 🙂 Come and meet this charmer at the Brooklyn ACC today.
My medical notes are…

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
Recommendations comments:: Recommend no dog parks and a single-dog home: Due to the behaviors that Triumph has shown during playgroup, we feel that Triumph should not visit dog parks and be placed in a home with no other dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Triumph associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats.
