Zee
Hello, my name is Zee. My animal id is #20244. I am a desexed 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 stray on 09-Feb-2018.
Zee 20244 is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Upper 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. He has no behavior concerns and would do well with an average adopter.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 46.9 lbs

Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
Zee had a tense body and was nervous to walk into the shelter. He allowed staff to pick him up and carry him into the office. He kept his tail tucked under his body but began walking around and sniffing, after a few minutes he started wagging his tail and allowed counselor to take off his collar and put ID collar on.
Date of Intake: 2/9/2018
Spay/Neuter Status: Not Applicable
Basic Information:: Zee was brought into BACC as a stray, history is unknown at this time. He appears to be a younger, light brown and white, medium mixed breed male. He was not neutered prior to coming into the shelter
Date of intake:: 2/9/2018
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray
Date of assessment:: 2/12/2018
Look:: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag:: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends (may need coaxing to approach). Dog is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.
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. 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:: Zee displayed no behavior concerns during his handling assessment.
Summary (1):: Zee was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 2/10: When off leash at the Care Centers, Zee greets the female helper dog with a loose, wiggly body. He is a little sexually motivated- persistently sniffing genital areas, and positioning himself to mount her. He listens to handler interruptions and does engage in bouncy play. 2/11-13: Zee is soft and social while interacting with a group of gentle male and female players. He is a little overwhelmed by their play solicitations but manages his discomfort by moving away.
Date of intake:: 2/9/2018
Summary:: Tense
Date of initial:: 2/9/2018
Summary:: Fearful though tolerated handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Zee so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Zee displays as a young, social, enthusiastic dog. He will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend walks, runs, exercise, and play, as well as long lasting chews such as kongs and nylabones.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: In the care center, Zee is social and interactive with all staff.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar: H – Healthy
Potential challenges: : Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Zee may be a bit timid when meeting new people or experiences. He manages his stress well and has not escalated, but he may need some time to initially warm up. Zee may do best approaching at his own pace to initiate interaction (rather than being approached and pet immediately by a new person)
