Anaconda, Andrew Bogut, and Cats: Gladiator His parent dead, a senior boy and his siblings a bunny and 2 turtles, grieve. Gladiator dreams of going home....Gladiator needs a hero! Id 55770, 8 Yrs. 0ld, 75 lbs. Erooklyn ACC INTAKE DATE – 2/25/2019 “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” Maya Angelou He sits in his kennel. Gladiator doesn’t feel much like a warrior. He feels broken, sad and confused. He spent all 8 years of his life with his beloved parent, and when his parent passed away suddenly, Gladiator was left behind along with his siblings – a bunny and 2 turtles. Gone is the world he loved, the long cuddles on the sofa with his parent, his parent whispering in his ears “I love you big guy.” You know Gladiator was loved. You can see it in his chunky body, a face so sweet his parent could never deny him the treats he loved. You see it in the way he behaves now – lacerated, terrified, a family pet now plunged into the horror of the shelter system. He just wants to go home, and no one knows how to tell him that this dream is going to die with him. It will die with him if no one steps up to give him his life back. Because he is scared, he has been slapped with a New Hope Rescue Only rating, meaning the person who wants to help him must fill out apps with the rescues to save his life. If you are an experienced foster or adopter, and can give this poor gentleman a soft place to land, hurry and Message our page or email us at [email protected]. A Staff Member Writes: “Gladiator was brought in when his owner sadly passed away leaving him, a rabbit, and two turtles behind. This chunky pup has been very fearful with staff and has shown potential resource guarding tendencies (growling over food in kennel when staff approached). He’s been a bit jumpy with loud noises and snapped during his exam. Due to the high level of fear witnessed at the Brooklyn Care Center, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide an experienced, adult-only foster/trainer prior to placement in a permanent home.” GLADIATOR, ID# 55770, 8 Yrs. old, 75 lbs., Male Brooklyn ACC, Large Mixed Breed, Tan / White Surrender Reason: Owner passed away Shelter Assessment Rating: NEW HOPE ONLY Medical Behavior Rating: Orange SURRENDER NOTES - BASIC INFORMATION: Gladiator is an approximately 8 year old tan and white large dog that was brought into BACC when his owner passed away. INTAKE NOTES – DATE OF INTAKE, 25-Feb-2019: Gladiator stepped out of the carrier on his own, allowed to be scanned for a microchip. Gladiator did become rope reactive and started to chew on the rope the handler was using. No further handling was done due to being brought back to the kennel right away. SHELTER ASSESSMENT SUMMARIES - Date of assessment: 27-Feb-2019 LEASH WALKING Strength and pulling: Mild pulling Reactivity to humans: None Reactivity to dogs: None Leash walking comments: Highly fearful while on walks SOCIABILITY Loose in room (15-20 seconds): Easily startled, distracted by noises outside of the room, cautious of rope, whale-eyeing, freezing upon sudden movement, wary Call over: Approaches readily Sociability comments: Did not leash, stayed on rope HANDLING Soft handling: Did not conduct due to high level of fear Exuberant handling: Did not conduct due to high level of fear Handling comments: AROUSAL Jog: Did not conduct due to high level of fear Arousal comments: Knock Knock Comments: Growls Toy Toy comments: No interest PLAYGROUP NOTES - DOG TO DOG SUMMARIES: Gladiator was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. 2/26: When off leash at the Care Center, Gladiator is introduced to a novel female dog. He is sexually motivated when he greets the female but does not attempt to mount the female. He does give whale eyes and lip licks when having a face to face greet. INTAKE BEHAVIOR - Date of intake: 25-Feb-2019 Summary: Leash biting, allowed some handling MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial: 25-Feb-2019 Summary: Growling, snapping, whale-eyed ENERGY LEVEL: We are unable to assess Gladiator's energy level due to his high level of fear. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: A Behavior Team Member was walking up to Gladiator's kennel when he began to low growl at her. She looked at Gladiator and saw that he had his tray of food still in his kennel. She attempted to give him a treat to divert his attention when he stood up and continued to growl placing himself to stand over the food. He stopped when she walked away. 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: Due to Gladiator's overall level fear, we feel he would be best set up to succeed in an adult only home at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Though he has shown some improvement, Gladiator remains highly fearful in the care center and has exhibited handling sensitivity and resource guarding. We feel he would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner who can allow him to acclimate and decompress at his own pace; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing or exposing Gladiator to new and unfamiliar situations. Potential challenges: Resource guarding, Handling/touch sensitivity, Fearful/potential for defensive aggression MEDICAL EXAM NOTES 27-Feb-2019 Progress Exam. History: 2/25/19: Owner deceased.

These dogs are not displaying concerning behaviors in Shelter, and the owner surrender profile (where available) is positive. Some dogs with Level 1 determinations may still have potential challenges, but these are challenges that the behavior team believe can be handled by the majority of adopters. The potential challenges could include no young children, prefers to be the only dog, no dog parks, no cats, kennel presence, basic manners, low level fear and mild anxiety. Level 2 Dogs with Level 2 determinations will be suitable for adopters with some previous dog experience. They will have displayed behavior in the Shelter (or have owner reported behavior) that requires some training, or is simply not suitable for an adopter with minimal experience. Dogs with a Level 2 determination may have multiple potential challenges and these may be presenting at differing levels of intensity, so careful consideration of the behavior notes will be required for counselling. Potential challenges at Level 2 include no young children, single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity, mouthiness, fear with potential for escalation, impulse control/arousal, anxiety and separation anxiety. Level 3 Dogs with Level 3 determinations will need to go to homes with experienced adopters, and the ACC strongly suggest that the adopter have prior experience with the challenges described and/or an understanding of the challenge and how to manage it safely in a home environment. In many cases, a trainer will be needed to manage and work on the behaviors safely in a home environment. It is likely that every dog with a Level 3 determination will have a behavior modification or training plan available to them from the behavior department that will go home with the adopters and be made available to the New Hope Partners for their fosters and adopters. Some of the challenges seen at Level 3 are also seen at Level 1 and Level 2, but when seen alongside a Level 3 determination can be assumed to be more severe. The potential challenges for Level 3 determinations include adult only home (no children under the age of 13), single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity with potential for redirection, mouthiness with pressure, potential escalation to threatening behavior, impulse control, arousal, anxiety, separation anxiety, bite history (human), bite history (dog) and bite history (other). New Hope Rescue Only Dog is not publicly adoptable. Prospective fosters or adopters need to fill out applications with New Hope Partner Rescues to save this dog.
