Zeppoli
Hello, my name is Zeppoli. My animal id is #18357. I am a female blue roan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Jan-2018.
Zeppoli 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. Zeppoli can go home with an average level of experience with dogs.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 59.2 lbs

Summary:: Zeppoli came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly and affectionate towards the handlers.
Summary (1):: Zeppoli is assertive but will participate in play sessions with novel male dogs. She solicits with bows and mounts, as well as paw slaps, and occasionally engages in running/chase play. She takes appropriate breaks, and will explore the pens. Zeppoli has yet to meet a female greeter. She was surrender as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Zeppoli is placed in a home with resident dogs that are tolerant of her assertive behavior and matches her play style. All introductions should be done slowly and under supervision. 1/16: When off leash at the Care Centers, Zeppoli can be somewhat assertive, running beside the helper dog, while attempting to mount him. She listens to the interruptions from handlers, and eventually explores the area the rest of her session. 1/17: Today, Zeppoli attempts to mount a playful male dog several times before listening to handler interruptions. She spends the rest of the session ignoring his solicitations while investigating the yard. 1/18-21: Zeppoli greets the other dog with a soft body posture, but with raised hackles. Her nervousness quickly subsides and she engages in running, bouncy play with constant paw slaps. When the other dog takes a break, she wanders the pens.

Date of initial:: 1/16/2018
Summary:: Tense but allowed all handling.
