07/07/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/07/15 11:13 Sun Sun A1043009 is a young male AMPBT/Wire haired Mix whom was found tied up on a street in the Bronx. Someone called the police and they brought him into our BXAC. They stated Sun Sun is a super friendly, smart, happy good boy. They approached him and Sun Sun had a loose wiggly body and jumped up on them to give/get affection/attention. He jumped right into their vehicle and sat staring out the window as they drove. During intake Sun Sun exhibited the same behaviors. He was very social, seeking attention/affection from staff and other patrons in our lobby. His tail never stopped wagging & he sat when asked. Sun Sun took treats eagerly but gently. He allowed all handling. Sun Sun allowed us to scan (-), collar him and take his pictures along with positioning him for pictures.

Sun Sun was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag. He was calm and relaxed during handling. He engages in play, loose body, wags tail, mouth is open and began to mouth the leash lightly but settled quickly. Sun Sun was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had neutral body language. He was easy to handle when chewing on toys and rawhides. Sun Sun was brought to the care center as a stray, the officers that brought him in reported he had a loose wiggly body and jumped up on them to give/get affection/attention. Throughout the assessment, he remained friendly towards the assessor and displayed no behavioral concerns. The Behavior Department feels Sun Sun can go to an average home. Look: 1.
