Animal Profile


Holly

Hello, my name is Holly. My animal id is #216665. I am a desexed female brown dog at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 3 months old.

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 2/23/2025, with the surrender reason stated as other.

Sorry, this pet is for new hope partners only.

Pre-Screener Form

Holly in her previous home was reported to hard bark, growl and lunge at strangers, children, small animals, dogs and cats and is difficult to refocus once reacting. Holly in care has been social with staff, but will need extra support due to her high level of reactivity displayed in her previous home. Medically, Holly is clinically healthy.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Due to the detailed behavior issues, this animal is only available for foster/adoption through one of ACC's New Hope Partners. If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please fill out the pre-screener form. This animal is not directly available for adoption through ACC and is only available by completing the pre-screener form.Adoption inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Holly is on the at-risk due to her behavior concerns in her previous home. Holly in her previous home was reported to hard bark, growl and lunge at strangers, children, small animals, dogs and cats and is difficult to refocus once reacting. Holly in care has been social with staff, but will need extra support due to her high level of reactivity displayed in her previous home. Medically, Holly is clinically healthy. Holly originally was surrendered into care as a stray, so at the time her past behavior in a home environment was unknown. She presented as loose-bodied and social with handlers and staff during her brief stay, before being adopted. Holly was returned by her adopter after being in the home for over a month due to behavior concerns. She was described as a social and affectionate dog with her adopters and familiar people. She would spend most of her time in the living room and enjoyed playing with stuffed/plush toys. But with strangers, children, dogs, and cares, Holly, had escalated to higher level warnings including during walks. On walks, she was reported to become reactive to the aforementioned triggers in addition to moving bikes/scooters, and smaller animals. Since her return, Holly has been tense with interaction from staff but is readily accepting of treats. Due to the concerns reproted in her previous home, we recommend that Holly to be in an adult-only home where she can be the only dog without cats or other smaller animals through a New Hope rescue partner that can address her challenges with the use of s certified professional trainer that uses positive reinforcment methods only. A volunteer writes: In December, Holly was found loose in an intersection, a red leash tied loosely around her neck in a bow. She approached her finder, the leash fell off, and a scarf was used as a makeshift leash to lead her safely to the shelter. About a week later, on the coldest day of the winter, we met Holly. We shivered together, all 3 of us, taking photos and finding shelter from the wind. Though timid, she delighted us with her humongous ears and seemingly permanent frowny pout. She was soon adopted, and then soon returned to us due to reactive behaviors that her adopter didn't feel equipped for.

Date of intake:: 2/23/2025

Summary:: barks at staff but otherwise walks into building without further issue

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),No cats,Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to the concerning behaviors toward children in the previous home, and the potential for defensive escalations, we recommend for Holly to be placed in an adult-only home at this time. No cats: Holly is reported to hard bark and growl at cats. Due to this, we recommend for she to not be placed in a home with cats or other smaller animals. Single-pet home/recommend no dog parks: Due the concerning behaviors reported in the previous home, we feel that Holly should not visit dog parks and be the only resident dog. 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 Holly associate dogs with things she enjoys like toys or treats. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to all noted concerns displayed in a home environment, the behavior department recommends Holly be placed with a New Hope placement partner who can provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Holly to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward-based training only is advised when introducing her to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Holly presents with outside of the care centers.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Other

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control- During her previous stay in care, Holly jumped up non-stop, indicating a need for training to improve her impulse control and basic manners. Consistent training to teach her to sit or stay when greeting people, using positive reinforcement and redirection, will help manage this behavior. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Handling/touch sensitivity: Holly is reported to become fearful and bark when her paws are touched. Please see handout on Handling/touch sensitivity. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Holly is reported to escalate to growling and hard barking at strangers and children on multiple occasions in her previous home. Her signs of discomfort must be respected; Holly should never be forced to interact, she should always be allowed to walk away from situations or people she finds uncomfortable. We recommend a slow approach and we recommend ONLY force-free, reward-based training methods for Holly. More aversive techniques are likely to increase fear, increase the risk of aggression, and decrease Holly's quality of life. Please see hadnout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Holly is reported to become reactive to various triggers during walks - children, moving bikes and scooters, and small animals. She will lunge, hard bark, or growl. When in the home she will bark all day at outside noises and the windows. Please see handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.
