Hello, my name is Honey
My animal id is #70953
I am a desexed female brown dog at the
Manhattan Animal Care Center
The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 1 months old, 35 lbs
Came into shelter as a return 8/23/2019
HONEY is rescue only
Honey is at risk for behavioral reasons. Honey has displayed a low threshold for arousal with the potential to become a bite risk and is difficult to redirect. Honey would be best suited for placement with a new hope partner that can provide the necessary behavior modification. Medically, Honey seems healthy.

Details on my behavior are...
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Behavior History
Behavior Assessment
Behavior upon intake Honey was very rope reactive. When trying to redirect she would focus on something for a few seconds then lash back on to the leash. Counselor was able to scan for a microchip and collar no issues.
Date of Intake: 8/23/2019
Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed
Basic Information:: Honey is a large mixed breed approximately one years old who was surrendered due to behavioral concerns.
Previously lived with:: 2 adults, 1 child, 2 cats
How is this dog around strangers?: Around strangers Honey will jump in a friendly, soft behavior. She is friendly and sweet.
How is this dog around children?: Honey has previously lived with a 13 year old boy who is described as overly excitable around children. She does not know her own weight. She is described as rough play with children.
How is this dog around other dogs?: Honey has previously interacted with other dogs while on a walk. She will bark initially wanting to meet them. Depending on the dog she will take a dominating stance.
How is this dog around cats?: Honey has previously lived with two domestic short hair who she is described as excitable trying to chase after them but she is tolerant of the other animals.
Resource guarding:: Honey in the beginning will growl when you give her something new to play with but when she would have it for awhile she is fine. Honey isn't bothered when her food is taken away.
Bite history:: No known bite history during time of intake
Housetrained:: Partially
Energy level/descriptors:: Medium
Other Notes:: Honey isn't bothered when being held/restrained. Owner has never tried given her a bath, brushing her coat or trimming her nails so behavior is not observed. When unfamiliar people approach her home or while on walk she will jump for attention.
Has this dog ever had any medical issues?: Yes
Medical Notes: When owner picked her up after surgery Honey was diagnosed with kennel cough. Her last dose would be today.
For a New Family to Know: Honey is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, and excitable. She is described to have a very low to medium activity level in the home but while on a walk her activity is high. Honey will follow owner from room to room, seek attention and loves to be in the same room. Owner's favorite thing about Honey is she's cuddly, loves to play with owner and loves to be around family. Honey loves stuffed or anything soft or squeaks. Honey was fed both wet and dry, Science diet, two tablespoons of wet and one cup dry twice a day. Honey is partially house trained and will have accidents a few times. Honey when left alone is well behaved however when her owner leaves she will whine behind the door. She has never been crate trained. Honey knows the commands sit, stay, come, down, and release. When on a walk Honey does tend to pull hard. Honey has never been off leash.
===================
Date of intake:: 8/23/2019
Spay/Neuter status:: Yes

Previously lived with:: Adults, a child (age 13), and cats
Behavior toward strangers:: Friendly, jumps up
Behavior toward children:: Excitable and rough with them
Behavior toward dogs:: Barks at them
Behavior toward cats:: Excitable, chases them
Resource guarding:: Yes, Honey will growl when first given a new toy
Bite history:: None reported

7/31/19: First Stay at care center: stray, no known history
Date of assessment:: 8/1/2019
Summary:: Leash Walking
Strength and pulling: Hard
Reactivity to humans: None
Reactivity to dogs: None
Leash walking comments: None
Sociability
Loose in room (15-20 seconds): Highly social
Call over: Approaches readily
Sociability comments: Body soft, jumps up
Handling
Soft handling: Accepts contact
Exuberant handling: Seeks contact
Handling comments: Body soft, active, leans in
Arousal
Jog: Engages in play (exuberant)
Arousal comments: runs, jumps, grabs leash in mouth
Knock: Approaches (exuberant)
Knock Comments: runs and jumps up
Toy: Grips, relinquishes
Toy comments: Body soft
Summary:: Due to concerning behavior displayed during Honey's recent previous stay, a single dog residence is recommended.
8/1: When introduced off leash to dogs, Honey is highly playful.
8/4: Honey rushes in, lunges, and snaps at the other dogs with no known provocation.
ENERGY LEVEL:: Honey is reported to have a medium-high level of activity. She is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Honey has recently been displaying intense fixation towards the leash during walks, immediately grabbing it, tugging and growling loudly. When handlers have attempted to refocus her attention, she has been observed to become stiff and snarl.
9/3
When Honey was interacting with a handler in the behavior room, she attempts to mouth handlers shoes, when a second handler attempts to move her away, Honey becomes stiff.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Honey's high energy level and tendency to jump up onto handlers in a playful manner, as well as her previous owner reporting that she was very rough with children, we recommend an adult only home.
Single pet/no dog parks: See DOG-DOG.
Place with a New Hope partner: While Honey continues to display some social behavior towards handlers in the care centers, she has become increasing difficult to manage in the care center as her threshold for arousal remains low. Honey has been observed to intensely grab her leash when being walked and has escalated to snarling at handlers when attempts to refocus her are made. At this time, we feel Honey would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner who can reassess her behavior in a more stable home environment. Force-free, reward based training only is advised as well as guidance from a professional trainer or veterinary behaviorist.
Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Social hyperarousal,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Leash-biting,Low threshold for arousal
Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Honey has a very high level of energy and is quick to jump up onto handlers in a playful, social manner. She is reported to play rough with people and children. Please see handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control.
Leash-biting: When she gets excited, Honey grabs the leash in her mouth and plays with it and pulls on it. This behavior has been seen at the care center and was reported to be intense in her previous home, making it very difficult to take Honey out on walks. She will need positive reinforcement training to teach her to carry a toy or focus on something other than the leash. Please see handout on Leash Manners.
On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Honey is reported to bark at dogs on leash. Please see handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.
Social hyperarousal: Honey becomes quickly aroused around children, pulling towards them excitedly and attempting to engage is rough play. She also becomes aroused by the leash, grabbing it intensely. Please see handout on arousal.
Low threshold for Arousal: Honey displays an intense fixation towards the leash in the care center, escalating rapidly to intensely tugging and growling loudly during walks, unable to readily recover on her own. She has escalated to snarling loudly when handlers attempt to refocus her attention with toys or treats. Please see handout on Arousal and Leash Manners.

![TO BE KILLED – 8/31/2019
Pepper came to the shelter with Snowball, another senior also on the list since there beloved owner passed away. We have to wonder how and why anyone could do this to two seniors who both seem to have medical issues that need immediate attention. Pepper is such a good girl, so incredibly sweet, and like Snowball (who you will see in a picture with her on her comment thread) she is 9 years old, and earned herself a coveted LEVEL 1 rating on her behavior – the very best you can get. This petite, sweet, precious girl so deserves a loving family who can provide her a retirement home where she will be coddled and adored like the queen she is. She needs to see a vet both for a mass on her jaw, and also for her arthritic limbs so she can live a quality, pain free life. Please don’t let her languish, hurry and MESSAGE our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance saving her life!
A volunteer writes:
Snowball and Pepper were housemates until their owner suddenly passed away. Now both of them are in need of a new home. Snowball has some rear leg issues, which makes walking uneasy at times. They are both 9 years young and very sweet.

PEPPER, ID# 73267, 9 Yrs. old, 37.25 lbs., Spayed Female
Staten Island ACC, Medium Mixed Breed, Black
I came to the shelter as an Agency, 8/19/2019
Owner deceased
Shelter Assessment Rating: LEVEL 1 (the best!)
Medical Behavior Rating: 2. Blue
CAME IN WITH SNOWBALL, ID# 73270
AT RISK MEMO: Pepper is at risk for medical concerns. Pepper has a mass on her jaw which is of unknown origin. Pepper also has some hind limb muscle atrophy which has caused an unsteady gait. Both conditions will need to be followed up with by a private veterinarian by any adopter. Behaviorally Pepper would do well in most homes, except with small children under the age of 5.
SHELTER ASSESSMENT SUMMARIES:
Leash Walking
Strength and pulling: mild
Reactivity to humans: none
Reactivity to dogs: none
Leash walking comments:
Sociability
Loose in room (15-20 seconds): Distracted, does not approach – active, exploring environment, not fearful
Call over: No approach – neutral, explores the room
Sociability comments:
Handling
Soft handling: tolerates contact, slightly tense body
Exuberant handling: tolerates contact, slightly tense body
Comments: Pulled paws back when touched over
Arousal
Jog: Follows handler (loose, neutral
Arousal comments:
Knock: Approaches (loose)
Knock Comments:
Toy: No interest
Toy comments:
INTAKE BEHAVIOR - Date of intake:: 8/19/2019
Summary:: ears back, neutral body
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial:: 8/20/2019
Summary:: very tense but allowed all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: In the care center, Pepper has been observed to have a low level of energy. It is important to know that her energy level may be different in a home environment.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 1
Behavior Asilomar: H - Healthy
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Pepper may be intimidated by young children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at his own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/ touch sensitivity: Pepper has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, pulling her paws back when they are touched. It is important to always go slow and give Pepper the option to walk away from any social interaction. Pepper should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Pepper's choice to approach a new person or thing. Pepper may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings

TO BE KILLED – 8/31/2019
Pepper came to the shelter with Snowball, another senior also on the list since there beloved owner passed away. We have to wonder how and why anyone could do this to two seniors who both seem to have medical issues that need immediate attention. Pepper is such a good girl, so incredibly sweet, and like Snowball (who you will see in a picture with her on her comment thread) she is 9 years old, and earned herself a coveted LEVEL 1 rating on her behavior – the very best you can get. This petite, sweet, precious girl so deserves a loving family who can provide her a retirement home where she will be coddled and adored like the queen she is. She needs to see a vet both for a mass on her jaw, and also for her arthritic limbs so she can live a quality, pain free life. Please don’t let her languish, hurry and MESSAGE our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance saving her life!

Owner deceased
Shelter Assessment Rating: LEVEL 1 (the best!)
Medical Behavior Rating: 2. Blue
CAME IN WITH SNOWBALL, ID# 73270
AT RISK MEMO: Pepper is at risk for medical concerns. Pepper has a mass on her jaw which is of unknown origin. Pepper also has some hind limb muscle atrophy which has caused an unsteady gait. Both conditions will need to be followed up with by a private veterinarian by any adopter. Behaviorally Pepper would do well in most homes, except with small children under the age of 5.
SHELTER ASSESSMENT SUMMARIES:
Leash Walking
Strength and pulling: mild
Reactivity to humans: none
Reactivity to dogs: none
Leash walking comments:

INTAKE BEHAVIOR - Date of intake:: 8/19/2019
Summary:: ears back, neutral body
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial:: 8/20/2019
Summary:: very tense but allowed all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: In the care center, Pepper has been observed to have a low level of energy. It is important to know that her energy level may be different in a home environment.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 1
Behavior Asilomar: H - Healthy
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Pepper may be intimidated by young children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at his own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption.
Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity
Potential challenges comments:: Handling/ touch sensitivity: Pepper has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, pulling her paws back when they are touched. It is important to always go slow and give Pepper the option to walk away from any social interaction. Pepper should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Pepper's choice to approach a new person or thing. Pepper may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings

A perfect, and perfectly sweet senior gentleman is in need of a loving retirement home, and the care he so desperately needs to live without pain (osteoarthritis). Great with people and other dogs, Snowball is so grateful for the simple things in life. A pet, a cuddle, a slow walk (with assistance due to his rear leg lameness), and loving family who will shower him with affection, and provide him all the happiness his heart can hold. He got a coveted LEVEL 1 rating (that surprised exactly NO ONE) and is perfect for a family with average dog experience. As a staff member writes: “To paraphrase the great children's writer, Shel Silverstein "They made a pup named snowball, As perfect as could be. I thought you'd like to keep it as a pet, And let it sleep with thee." Snowball is a senior boy who sometimes has a little trouble getting around, but he will run circles around your heart. He has been observed to be easy to handle, likes his treats and enjoys nothing more than a comfy blanket and the company of a friend. Won't you come down to meet this ol' boy? We're sure that once you do, it will be hard not to let this Snowball warm you up!” Please won’t you take this wonderful senior a home so he does not have to die, alone and friendless, at the shelter.

THOUGH he is listed as 2 years old, staff and volunteers believe he is much younger than that, and a very very young puppy! :)
When everyone loves you, it's only a matter of time before you realize your worth and love everyone back! Ice is the current heart-breaker at the shelter. He might not know how super adorable he is, or that he has volunteers who couldn't refrain from taking photo after photo of his super photogenic self. Ice is 2 years old and only 41 lbs, wears a sharp steel and snow coat, sweet delicate jowls with a spotty upper lip. He arrived at the shelter frightened out of his wits, like so many do. Now that he is getting the love, attention and security he deserves, he is starting to put his best paw forward. The ice is melting! He lived with a child in harmony, and yearns to have a family to cherish once again. The tragedy here is that no sooner did Ice begin to make sense of his situation, the shelter proceeds to place him on the dreaded list. He is in dire need of a foster or adopter. Please message this page if you would like to open your heart to this deserving young boy.

Ice is at risk for behavior concerns. Ice remains highly fearful and uncomfortable with interaction from most handlers in the care center, he has been observed to escalate quickly to growling and hard staring at handlers on multiple occasions. At this time, we feel Ice would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner who can reassess his behavior in a more stable home environment. He has been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex and diarrhea, that may need follow up care.

Summary:: Ice was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown.
8/21: When off leash at the Care Center Ice is introduced to a novel female dog. He is fearful - tucked, trembling posture, flat ears, and wide eyes. He does not greet the female and avoids her. He stays relatively close to one handler as he wanders the pens.
8/22: Ice was sexually motivated today when he greeted a female dog. He places his chin over her back and positions himself to mount but when interrupted by handlers he is slow to listen.
Date of intake:: 8/20/2019
Summary:: Reported to be aggressive towards strangers on leash, no further details
Date of initial:: 8/20/2019
Summary:: Nervous, flinching, growled and snapped when attempted to place muzzle
ENERGY LEVEL:: Ice displays a medium energy level in the care center though we cannot be certain of his behavior in a new home environment. We recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as a way to direct his energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 8/22/2019
When a handler attempted to offer Ice a toy during an interaction in the behavior room, he hard stared and low growled. He kept to himself and avoided interacting.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to his potential for defensive aggression, we feel as though Ice would be best set up to succeed if placed into an experienced adult only home environment.
Place with a New Hope partner: Ice remains highly fearful and uncomfortable with interaction from most handlers in the care center, he has been observed to escalate quickly to growling and hard staring at handlers on multiple occasions. At this time, we feel Ice would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner who can reassess his behavior in a more stable home environment. Force-free, reward based training only is advised as well as seeking guidance from a qualified trainer or behaviorist.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Potential challenges comments:: Ice has been observed to hard stare and growl at handlers on multiple occasions in the care center. He appears visibly uncomfortable with most interaction (avoiding, tense, whale eyed). Please see handouts on Fearful and Defensive Aggression.

TO BE KILLED - 8/31/2019
THOUGH he is listed as 2 years old, staff and volunteers believe he is much younger than that, and a very very young puppy! :)
When everyone loves you, it's only a matter of time before you realize your worth and love everyone back! Ice is the current heart-breaker at the shelter. He might not know how super adorable he is, or that he has volunteers who couldn't refrain from taking photo after photo of his super photogenic self. Ice is 2 years old and only 41 lbs, wears a sharp steel and snow coat, sweet delicate jowls with a spotty upper lip. He arrived at the shelter frightened out of his wits, like so many do. Now that he is getting the love, attention and security he deserves, he is starting to put his best paw forward. The ice is melting! He lived with a child in harmony, and yearns to have a family to cherish once again. The tragedy here is that no sooner did Ice begin to make sense of his situation, the shelter proceeds to place him on the dreaded list. He is in dire need of a foster or adopter. Please message this page if you would like to open your heart to this deserving young boy.
