Potential challenges: : Fearful,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Zeus is reported to need a slow approach from people and is very fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Zeus the option to walk away from any social interaction. Zeus should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Zeus' choice to approach a new person or thing. Zeus would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Zeus has been reported to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Zeus may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. * TO FOSTER OR ADOPT * If you would like to adopt a dog on our “To Be Killed” list, and you CAN get to the shelter in person to complete the adoption process *within 48 hours of reserve*, you can reserve the dog online until noon on the day they are scheduled to die.

Being Alone, Andrew Bogut, and Animals: Brownie Pie 25472 Iyears 6 months, 55 lbs riend At Manhattan ACC waiting for love Young & Handsome Friendly affectionate, playful, will need basic training, micro- chipped, up to date on vaccines NEUTERED & Ready To Go Home Today! **** TO BE KILLED - 4/25/2018 **** YOUNG, HANDSOME, NEUTERED & READY TO GO HOME <3 A volunteer writes: Eager to get out and show the world just what it's been missing, Brownie Pie is a bright-eyed young cutie with all the energy and chutzpah you'd expect to be hiding behind that mischievous smile and he's looking for a sidekick who can keep up the pace! His previous family didn't have the time to give him the attention he craves but he enjoyed 3 walks a day and I had to laugh when reading the comment that he pulls lightly on leash but off leash he's 'hard to catch'. Sure sounds like the Brownie Pie I know! We're told Brownie liked to follow his people around and play fetch with balls or squeaky toys and that he already knows commands for come, sit, down, stay, paw and even 'go to bed.' Playgroup is a bit intimidating at first but once he's spent a few minutes with new doggie friends Brownie loosens up and joins in the fun and we're told he's even cool with cats, meeting them with tolerance and respect. Around two-legged company he's all about the zoomies, running the yard from end to end and jumping up to shove my side after he's done so a home with no small kids would definitely be the best fit for this baby kangaroo. Friendly, affectionate, playful and pushy, Brownie Pie is ready to roll right out the door and into your arms, ask to meet him today!

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 4/24 Update Brownie Pie remains aloof in the care center during interactions with his behavior appearing to deteriorate in kennel (hard barking at times upon approach, lunging/barking when dogs pass by).

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations:: No children (under 13) Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to the tense body language during SAFER and aloof behavior Brownie Pie has displayed in the care center, we are recommending an adult only home to allow for a period of decompression before exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training only is advised. Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Kennel presence Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Brownie Pie appeared on high alert during his assessment, having a high tail and raised hackles. During his medical work up, he growled. Due to these behaviors combined with the aloof behavior he displays during one-one interactions, we recommend going slow with Brownie Pie to assess that he is comfortable with all social interactions. He should always be given the opportunity to walk away from interactions if he chooses to. Kennel Presence: While we cannot be certain if this behavior will appear in any other contexts, in highly emotionally charged or stressful environments Brownie Pie may show behavior similar to what he is currently demonstrating in his kennel. We recommend potential adopters be comfortable managing this behavior and keeping themselves safe in any similar future situations. * TO FOSTER OR ADOPT * If you would like to adopt a dog on our “To Be Killed” list, and you CAN get to the shelter in person to complete the adoption process *within 48 hours of reserve*, you can reserve the dog online until noon on the day they are scheduled to die.
