09/21/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Jimmy is a handsome Hound left with us for no fault of his own. He lived pretty sheltered with his human family comprising of a child, rarely walked, although house trained but reduced to use weewee pads…He never really mingled much with strangers, other pooches or cats. He is said to be well behaved, affectionate, very playful, even rowdy at times and prefers not to be bothered when he eats. Here, at the care center, Jimmy is a little anxious, understandably and cries at times. Hopefully with more contact with staff and volunteers, he will feel a little better while waiting to be adopted. Jimmy walks beautifully on the leash and does his business as soon as we exit the care center. He is quite good looking in his immaculate vanilla and cinnamon coat faintly dotted. His eyes are bright, looking gently and accepting of me. He does not want treats but accepts my caresses, even sits on command. His tail wags quite a bit. He is curious in a calm way of other dogs passing by our pen. It is not easy for a gentleman close to middle age to find his bearings in the situation he is in…Jimmy is a very good looking dog who was quite well cared for by his previous owners. A new home and a new master are in order….Come to the Manhattan Care Center and meet Jimmy that I also call Mr Freckles…he might be your new forever best friend.

09/21/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jimmy was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag; however, he quickly became anxious and began whining and pacing the room. He would approach the assessor with a soft body when called and allowed all handling to be conducted with ease, whining throughout. He was distracted and focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag interaction. Jimmy had no interest in food or rawhide, but growled on the assessor’s last attempt to take away the toy. Jimmy was surrender to the care center due to personal issues; upon intake, he allowed all handling to be conducted without issue and responded to the commands “sit” and “stay.” According to his owner, Jimmy lived with a child and was relaxed and would play rough; when the child was too loud/excited Jimmy would growl but not snap or bite. He is described as friendly, confident, excitable, & affectionate. He never bit anyone, but his owners report that when an unexpected sound or person approached from behind him he will growl & stiffen. It was stated that he would stiffen & growl when food was taken away, but with toys he was relaxed and would attempt to play and allows it to be taken away. When left home alone he is well behaved but at times will whine. Throughout the assessment, Jimmy displayed anxious behaviors, whining and pacing repeatedly, but he approached the assessor with a soft body. Due to his display of anxious behaviors, reported guarding behavior with food & displayed behavior during toy test, the Behavior Department recommends Jimmy go to an experienced home with no children that is comfortable monitoring and positively modifying any guarding behaviors that may manifest in a home environment. Introductions should be done slowly and Jimmy should be allowed to approach new people at his own pace. Look:1. Holds gaze, soft eyes, soft body.
