11/28/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Mia and Bella Rees were surrendered into our care as their owners could not accomodate them anymore. Indeed, new family members counting kids and uncomfortable with large dogs, moved in with them and the pets…had to go…. Mia comes with excellent recommendations. Good with children, great with her sister, very affectionate and playful, housetrained, crate trained, no handling issues and well behaved when left alone in the house. She would not be a fan of cats and rather shy with strangers or new situations. Mia is quite timid here at the care center. She trusts quite quickly though the people who spend time with her. It did not take her very long to hop on the bench next to me and to shower me with kisses. She is one sweet girl, a pretty tiger brindle with velvety dark eyes. She is obedient, follows me, comes when I call her and sits on command and for treats. Mia might have been a home body, secluded within the safety of her home…..She is a little wary when new people approach but makes friends rapidly. She was not comfortable with strange dogs in a playgroup (I bet she never went to a doggie playground) but improved by day two…For so many dogs here at the care center, it is a matter of time to get better, be ready to move on with their lives and belong to a new family. In a nutshell, lovely Mia is a family dog who needs a slow approach when it comes to new things, people or other pooches. With that in mind, an experienced adopter could make of Mia a wonderful forever best friend….Mia is waiting at the Manhattan Care Center to be your shining star.. Another volunteer writes: Single, brindle female looking for forever home! I’m sweet and gentle, a total lady who volunteers love to walk. I can be shy and take time (not too much) to get to know you, and then love to cuddle and be close. I’m easy to be with as I don’t need much, just a soft voice, gentle touch and hugs! My new volunteer friend told me she loves me and wishes she could take me home. My previous owner says I’m good with kids, housetrained and well behaved when left home alone. I’m your dream dog!!! If you already have a dog I’d like to meet him or her, as it takes me a little while to get comfortable with another dog. When I’m comfortable I’m happy to play as I lived with another dog at one time so totally get it. I know I’ll be the best dog ever, so please come meet me and let me prove it to you.

11/15/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mia came into our center along with another large dog citing grandchildren moving into the home although the dogs have never had an incident with the children. Owner describes Mia as playful and affectionate with children but reactive towards cats. Owner reports Mia as housebroken and crate trained. Owner states Mia will bark, growl, and lunge towards strangers if they get too close to owners. Mia was friendly during intake, taking treats and leaning into admissions counselor, allowing all handling. She was nervous and fearful during her initial medical exam. Mia walked nicely on leash for her relief walk, no pulling. She was slightly uncomfortable during leashing in the SAFER assessment room, whale eye, lip lick. Mia allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tail down, ears back. She stood still during Sensitivity item, lip lick, body cautious. Mia followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, tail tucked. She closed her mouth during Squeeze attempt, became stiff, tail tucked. She showed no interest in Toy. When off leash with other dogs Mia is initially uncomfortable and growls when the helper dogs sniffs her from behind. She eventually starts to warm up and shows interest when solicited but does not engage in play. Due to her level of discomfort, the Behavior Team feels Mia would do best with an Experienced owner that does not have Children. She may initially benefit from a calm, quiet, structured environment so she knows what to expect and can relax in her new home. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is stiff and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, body stiff, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, or low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 3. Dog closes mouth, becomes stiff. Flank squeeze 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy 1. No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs Mia is initially uncomfortable and growls when the helper dogs sniffs her from behind. She eventually starts to warm up and shows interest when solicited but does not engage in play.

11/14/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Mia has displayed some selective behaviors during off leash interaction with other dogs. She shows interest in approaching and greeting select dogs, and has appeared stiff or otherwise uncomfortable during other interactions. Based on observations made here at our care center, a pre-adoption interaction should be required for Mia before placement into a home with another dog. When off leash with other dogs Mia is initially uncomfortable and growls when the helper dogs sniffs her from behind. She eventually starts to warm up and shows interest when solicited but does not engage in play. 11/15: Mia greets politely and shows continued interest by re-approaching. 11/17 update: Mia greets politley but is more interested in keeping to herself. 11/18: Mia continues to display this behavior. 11/19: Mia is tolerant of greeting but shows minimal interest in approaching. 11/20 update: Mia solicits play from both males and females but will cease when the other dog is not interested.
