DUKE aka SCOOBY aka SCOOBIE DOO – A0873392
Safe 4-18-2015 Brooklyn
**SAFE 04/18/15**
Meet Duke, a delightful, slightly older dog who’s been hanging out in the Brooklyn ACC ever since his owner and he were evicted from their home. It’s funny cuz some dogs go through the shelter system with nary a glance of attention. Then there’s Duke. We have no idea what the powers that be thought Duke was harboring but they examined him every which way and once more for good measure. They had Duke in their version of the interrogation room for quite awhile. As it turns out, Duke is an average sized pit bull mix of older, middle years. The only oddity that could be established about Duke is really quite a common condition, namely that he shows barrier-aggression or frustration toward dogs who he can’t reach. Actually, when Duke can make contact with the stranger dog, he behaves quite appropriately. You’ll need to come to the shelter to meet Duke for yourself. Oh, Duke also has kennel cough – no biggie. So, wonderful Duke is adoptable to any good family experienced in handling dogs. Could Duke’s new family be yours? You’d be saving his life and enriching your own.
My name isDUKE aka SCOOBY aka SCOOBIE DOO. My Animal ID is A0873392 (Alternate ID#: A1027928)

04/11/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Duke came into the Care Center with limited information, so his past behavior in a home is unknown. During SAFER Duke was very sociable towards the assessor and greeted with a loose body posture and a tail wag. He was relaxed for all handling items, and was playful during the tag interaction. Duke only showed minimal interest in the food and rawhides, and was easy to handle when engaged with the toy item. Although Duke is very sociable towards other dogs when playing off leash, He has been reported to show potential barrier reactivity behaviors; barking in a frustrating manner when walking by other dogs in their kennel and can be difficult to manage at times, so an experienced adopter is recommended. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game Squeeze 1&2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are back. Food: 1. Minimal interest in food, dog licks, then turns away. Toy 1: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Rawhide: 1. Minimal interest in rawhide, dog licks, then turns away. Dog-dog: When greeting off leash dogs, Duke is social and friendly with other dogs but expresses not interest in play.
