Raveena is a sweet senior dog with comorbidities. She most notably, has multiple mammary gland tumors. She also has several dermal masses, dental disease, suspected osteoarthritis, and recently - wounds to her paws. Raveena will need follow-up veterinary care to properly diagnose and treat her medical issues. Behaviorally, she is very sweet and has allowed all medical handling. Since I'm a long stay pup, my adoption fee has been reduced! Visit me today to find out my favorite treats and how you can take me home! My foster writes: Raveena is a classy lady! She a total love bug and velcro-pup. All she wants to do is whatever you want to do! From walking through the park to sitting at home watching movies, Raveena is a true companion. She's a huge fan of naps and pets, always politely asking for you to come join her for a quick snooze or snuggle. She is a little strong on leash but she knows her name and comes when called, making for a smooth yet active walk. Raveena would love a calm home with humans who will give her a lot of love! My foster writes: Hello! My name is Raveena and if you love long walks, simply want to watch some good old movies or vibe to some meditation tunes, I'm your pup gal! I love being scratched and love to cuddle ☺️ I love to be around my foster parents all the time! I do get a little anxious sometimes but it's okay as long as we're spending an awesome time together! I am well trained and love me some treats! I'm looking for a home that will love me for who I am! All I want is love, playtime, affection and peace. I'm pretty easy to speak to and easy to follow rules. So if you see me, expect a little excited wag of awesomeness 😊 My foster writes: Raveena is an absolute sweetheart and anyone would be lucky to have her. She as happy on a walk as she is curled up in your lap on the couch - her size does not stop her from getting as close to you as possible! She is able to ask for pets by nudging with her hand, and enjoys treats. She enjoys human companionship and comes when called and is house trained. She would do well in a quiet home where she can lounge with her owner and also enjoy long leisurely walks exploring town. An affectionate, quiet girl, she deserves a home to relax in for her older years 💓 Pop-Up Promo! ACC is over capacity, so I'm currently living in a pop-up crate. My adoption fees are waived, and my adoption comes with a $50 Chewy gift card. What my friends at ACC say about me: I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I am a sweet, social, older gal, looking for the perfect forever home! I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them. I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me. On my #BoroughBreak, we... walked around a park, sat at a cafe, and hung out in my backyard. Raveena was an absolute sweetheart. She loves meeting people, is so gentle, and loves affection. She's an older lady so she likes to take it slow. She's great for the busy nyc streets: she has no problem plopping down to rest at a cafe, or in the park, is calm and unbothered. She is so loving and sweet. She deserves a loving home where she can relax and sleep on a comfy bed. In return she will give you endless love and companionship. She bonded very quickly to me and we were fast friends. She's perfect. Walks nicely on a leash, non reactive, perfect girl.

Behavior History
Behavior Assessment

Upon intake Raveena was very friendly and social with staff. She leaned in for pets and allowed all handling.

Date of intake:: 5/23/2026

Date of assessment:: 5/27/2026

Summary:: 5/27: Leash Walking Strength and pulling: mild pulling Reactivity to humans: did not pass Reactivity to dogs: did not pass Leash walking comments: Sociability Loose in room (15-20 seconds): loose, wiggly, red/flushed face, pant heavily, unable to settle Call over: approaches readily Sociability comments: jumps up persistently, paces, takes treats but unable to focus Handling Soft handling: lean in, pants heavily, red face Exuberant handling: lean in, pants heavily, red face Handling comments: tries to jump up once the assessor stands Arousal Jog: follows, bouncy Arousal comments: Knock: closes mouth, approaches with loose body Knock Comments: recovers immediately Toy: no interest Toy comments: 5/24-5/r26: A handling assessment could not be completed due to lack of vaccines/medical exam.

Summary:: Due to entering the facility as a stray, there is no prior dog-to-dog history recorded. 10/23/26 Raveena is introduced to a novel male while off leash. She readily approaches the gate and will become increasingly tense and hard stare at the male. She does not move away on her own and is guided away by handler. 06/20/26 Raveena is introduced to a novel male while off leash. She approaches the gate with a neutral frame and will sniff the male before walking away. When meeting face-to-face, Raveena readily approaches and engages in mutual sniffing but becomes slightly tense as the male greets her exuberantly. Raveena is guided away to give her a consent check, and she does not approach again, instead sniffing along the yard.

Summary (4):: 10/20/26 (Trainer Note): Raveena is laying down but quickly stands with a loose body as handler approaches. She is easily leashed and removed from her crate, as she is walked to the street for a relief walk she mildly leash bites. Handler offers her a treat and she releases the leash. She maintains a soft body as she sniffs and relieves herself. Raveena is then brought to the community room for a training session. She is engaged with handler and works on the "leave it" cue. Handler is able to leave a treat flat in their hand at eye level but will regularly close their fist when Raveena attempts to eat the treat. Handler raises the heigh of their hand position and Raveeena disengaged more readily and consistently. She is returned to her crate with a treat toss. 10/13/26 (Trainer Note): Raveena is standing at the front of her crate with a relaxed body and barking as handler approaches. She is easily leashed and removed from her crate. As she is walked to the community room she mildly leash bites and lets go without the use of treats or a squeaker. She is put on a drag leash as she briefly sniffs around. Handler works on the "Leave It" cue and is able to leave a treat flat on their hand at eye level. They have to close their fist on occasion but Raveena is consistently turning her head away from handlers hand. She is returned to her crate without issue.

Summary (5):: 10/06/26 (Trainer Note): Raveena is at the front of her crate with a soft body as handler approaches. She is easily leashed and taken to the community room for a training session. As she is walked over to the room she attempts to jump up to mouth the leash but loses interest after the first attempt. In the room she remains engaged with handler and works on the "leave it" cue. She readily participates and handler is able to leave treat flat in hand, lowering their hand with every trial, increasing the difficulty. Handler is able to consistently leave treat flat in hand at Raveena eye level. She is returned to her crate without issue. 09/16/26 (Trainer Note): Raveena is at the front of her kennel as the handler approaches. She is easily leashed and pulls mildly to the canine training room. The handler works with her on conditioning the verbal marker and introduces the doggie zen game. Raveena is reinforced each time she turns her head away from the treat. The handler then presents the treat in a flat palm and marks Raveena for leaving it. She picks up on it quickly and builds reliability over time. Raveena is easily leashed and returned to kennel without issue. 9/16/26: Raveena was reported to leash bite once outside. 09/11/26: Raveena is at the front of her kennel as the handler approaches. She is leashed with ease, but once in the hallway, Raveena begins leash biting. She can be easily redirected with treats. She is taken to the yard where she is collared while being fed treats. In the yard, she pays attention to the handler, frequently approaching for treats, pets, and attention. She is later returned to her kennel with no issue.

Summary (6):: 07-14-26: As the handler gets closer, Raveena is at the front of her crate. She is easily leashed. Raveena turns around and mouths her leash as she walks into the hall. She refuses to let go at first, but the handler can persuade her to do so by offering food. After being taken to the playground, Raveena is given a drag leash and given free reign. The handler sits aside, and she follows them around. She expresses interest in handler and wants pets in general. After that, she sits with the handler, lovingly scratching her back and laying her head. The handler returns Raveena to her crate and tosses food inside for her. 06/23/26: Raveena is at the front of her crate as the handler approaches. She is leashed with ease. As Raveena enters the hallway, she turns around and mouths her leash. She initially doesn't let go, but the handler is able to use treats to get her to release the rope. Raveena is brought to the office where she is clipped to a drag leash and allowed to roam. She follows the handler around as the handler puts out various activities for her. She shows little interest in a snuffle mat, but spends several minutes licking peanut butter off a frisbee. She then sits with the handler on the couch, resting her head on the handler's leg for a minutes before jumping off of the couch and leaning in for pets. Raveena is brought back to her crate, and the handler tosses treats in for her. 6/16/26: Raveena is at the front of her crate barking as the handler approaches. She will paw at the door and bark as the handler tosses some treats in. It takes Raveena a moment to notice the food but when she does she will begin to eat it and the handler is able to leash her easily. She is then brought out on a walk where she will sniff around and occasionally check in with the handler for treats and will also lean into contact. She is returned to her crate with no issue and secured safely.

Summary (7):: 6/5: Raveena is laying down in her pop up crate as handler approaches. Handler speaks to Raveena in a soft voice as handler is attempting to leash Raveena. Raveena sits up with a loose frame and loose body as being leashed. Raveena waits for the handler to open the door to the pop up crate before stepping out. Raveena walks next to the handler with a soft body, with no pulling on the leash. Raveena is then brought to main medical where she starts to listen to the handler's cues (sit, paw, down) for HV treats. Raveena allows all medical task performed with minimal handling, and HVT. afterwards Raveena is brought back to her kennel with no issues. 06/01/26: Raveena is sleeping in her crate as the handler approaches. She wakes up when the crate is opened, comes to the front, and is easily leashed. She is brought to the office where she is clipped to a drag leash. She roams around the office, engaging briefly with a snuffle mat before returning to the handler for attention. She takes treats and leans into pets. When returning to her crate, Raveena stops and stares at a small dog in the kennel. The handler uses treats to get her attention and guide her back into her crate. 05/27/26( BA note): Raveena is standing at the front of her kennel and allows the handler to leash her with ease. She is then brought to the assessment room where she displays anxious behaviors and low levels of manners, including repeatedly jumping up on handlers. Despite this, she allows all handling while handlers redirect and distract her appropriately. She participates in the run portion without becoming aroused. During the knock portion, she becomes alert and looks toward the sound but does not react further. During toy assessment, she shows no interest, briefly looking at the toy before disengaging and walking away. For more information, see Behavioral Assessment. 05/26/26: Raveena is laying down in her crate as the handler approaches. She stands up and is easily leashed. Outside, Raveena walks and sniffs. She will accept treats from the handler, but is otherwise uninterested. After her walk, she is brought back into the building and returned to her crate without issue.

Date of intake:: 5/23/2026

Summary:: lean into pets, allowed all handling

Date of initial:: 5/27/2026

Summary:: allows all handling, food motivated, seeking interaction and proximity, cried on blood draw/restrain

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 2

Recommendations:: No young children (under 5),Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to the high level of jumping and anxiety seen at the care center, we recommend a home without young children. Recommend No Dog Parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Raveena has shown during playgroup (see DOG-DOG SUMMARY), we feel that she should not visit dog parks. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Raveena associate dogs with things she enjoys like toys or treats.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Separation anxiety,Anxiety,Leash-biting

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Raveena's tendency to jump on people can be managed through consistent training focused on impulse control. Teach her cues like "sit" and "stay" using positive reinforcement. Reward her with treats and praise when she responds correctly. When Raveena jumps, turn away and ignore her until she has all four paws on the ground, then reward her for calm behavior. Ensure all interactions with Raveena involve consistent responses from all family members to prevent mixed signals. Regular practice of these cues and rewarding calm behavior will help ger develop better impulse control and reduce jumping. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Separation Anxiety: Both of Raveena's previous fosters reported separation anxiety while in their care. When left alone, she barks and whines. We recommend that potential adopters feel comfortable with separation anxiety behaviors and be prepared to manage and positively modify them should they appear in a home environment. She would do best in a home where a person is at home for a large part of the day or with a plan so she is not alone for long periods of time. Please see handout on Separation anxiety. Anxiety: Raveena began to display heavy panting and the inability to settle or focus during her assessment. Due to the lack of her history in a home environment, it is unknown if this may arise in a future hime. Managing her anxiety will require creating a calm environment, providing enrichment activities, and using stress-reducing techniques like puzzle toys and regular exercise. Please see handout on generalized anxiety. Leash Biting: Raveena has been observed to leash bite when coming out of her crate. Please see handout on Arousal.
