04/04/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
04/04/15 16:56 NAME: Diamond REASON FOR SURRENDER The owner is having personal issues. RELATIONSHIP Diamond is estimated to be around 3 years old and has been with her owner for that lenght of time. PEOPLE Diamond lived in a home with an adult and a 5 year old. According to the owner, the 5 year old played rough (pulling her tail and climding on her, tripping on her or putting things in her face, etc) with Diamond and Diamond was very tolerant of this behavior. When she got to her limit, the owner stated that she would retreat into her crate. OTHER ANIMALS The owner states that Diamond is tolerant of cats as well as other dogs. She didn’t live with another dog, but has gone to the dog park her whole life. She solicits play from other dogs by play bowing. PERSONALITY/HABITS Diamond is an inside dog with a very high activity level according to the owner. She is described as playful and affectionate. She isn’t bothered when you touch her bowl while eating or her bones or toys while she has them. She will bark at unfamiliar people approaching her family members, but will settle when she is allowed to smell them. She is used to getting into the tub for a bath. She will play with tennis balls and sometimes squeaky and stuffed toys. She is well behaved when left unattended and doens’t destroy anything. She sleeps in her crate TRAINING Diamond knows sit, down, come, stay, and heel. She does well in a crate for 6 or 7 hours and has never had a potty accident in the home. MEDICAL There are no known medical issues at the time of intake. BEHAVIOR DURING INTAKE Diamond sat quietly throughout the intake. Her mouth was closed, but not tense. She allowed the counselor to greet and pet her, but did not solicit attention. She was easy to collar and scan.

04/13/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Diamond can be shy at first, but a little bit of time with her is enough to realize she just might be what dreams are made of! She needed coaxing to come out of her cage when I first met her, but now props her paws on her cage door and is ready to go. Outside she is still bashful, but it’s clear how very sweet she is! She pulls some on leash and has her tail tucked if there’s commotion, but checks in with soft eye contact. Off leash she is quick to submissively roll over when I approach her, but lets me pet her all over and then after some wandering approaches me for more. As if she couldn’t get more endearing, she then offers me her paw, politely takes a treat and runs off with it, and comes back to offer her paw again. Diamond seems interested and friendly when checking out a dog in the neighboring pen and her previous owner reports that she gets along fine with not only dogs, but cats too! She also lived with a 5 year old and was tolerant even when the child played roughly with her. Diamond tries very hard to keep her cage clean and in her previous home she was successfully crated for 6-7 hours and never had accidents in the home. She may need a gentle approach, but Diamond is more than worth it — please come meet this sweetheart at Brooklyn ACC!

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Diamond previously lived in a home with an adult and a 5 year old, and according to the owner, the 5 year old played rough with Diamond and she was very tolerant of this behavior. She was also said to be tolerant of cats as well as other dogs. It was mentioned that Diamond will bark at unfamiliar people approaching her family members, but will settle when she is allowed to smell them. It was also mentioned that she does well in a crate for 6 or 7 hours and has never had a potty accident in the home. At intake it was noted that Diamond sat quietly and was receptive to introductions, but did not solicit attention. During SAFER Diamond was shy when entering the assessment room and needed time to warm up to the assessor. She was a bit tense during the handling but did allow the assessor to complete each item without issue. Diamond was easily pushed out of the food bowl during the food item, and was not interested in the toys or rawhide items. Diamond would be best suited for an experienced adopter who is able to slowly introduce diamond into her new home, and allow her time to adjust to her new family at her own pace. Look: 2.
