Nas
Hello, my name is Nas. My animal id is #82481. I am a male black dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 3 months 3 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 11/26/2019.
Reserved
Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Nas was placed at risk due to his medical conditions; he was diagnosed with Dermatitis, CIRDC, other conditions and has had Diarrhea and hematochezia that has not responded to medication. We feel that getting out of the care center for further diagnostics as soon as possible would be beneficial for Nas and his medical situation. There are no behavioral concerns at this moment.
Let's get to know each other a bit more...
A staff member writes: If you want a cute pup with the sweetest smile Nas is your guy. He loves to spend the day snuggling with his favorite people. He is such a love bug, and he warms the heart of so many staff members. He is waiting for his furever home! Someplace where he can show how much he can love, and receive it back. Nas is waiting for you at Brooklyn Animal Care Centers.

Details on my behavior are...
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
Upon intake, Nas was friendly with intake staff. He pulls very hard on the leash. He was very distracted by everything going on around him. He tolerated all handling including collaring and leashing. Counselors took him outside for a quick walk and potty break and he urinated once he got outside.
Spay/Neuter Status: Not Applicable
Basic Information:: Nas is an unneutered large mixed breed dog that was brought in as a stray.
How is this dog around strangers?: Unknown
How is this dog around children?: Unknown
How is this dog around other dogs?: Client had the dog for one night. He stated that he has a small dog in the home he kept in the crate overnight away from Nas. He said Nas mostly ignored the dog in the crate.
How is this dog around cats?: Unknown
Resource guarding:: Client had the dog for one night and fed him two meals. He said he did not notice any resource guarding habits.
Housetrained:: Unknown
Energy level/descriptors:: High
Medical Notes: Unknown
Date of intake:: 11/26/2019
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray, no known history
Date of assessment:: 12/1/2019
Summary:: Leash Walking Strength and pulling: None 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, stays by assessor Handling Soft handling: Seeks contact Exuberant handling: Seeks contact Handling comments: Body soft, stays by assessor Arousal Jog: Follows (loose) Arousal comments: None Knock: Approaches (loose) Knock Comments: None Toy: No response Toy comments: None
Summary:: Nas was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 11/27: When off leash at the Care Center, Nas is introduced to a novel female dog. He is intensely sexually motivated as he greets the female and his leash is held as a precaution. Nas persistently licks the female's genitals ignoring her social cues and handler interruption.
Date of intake:: 11/26/2019
Summary:: Friendly, allowed handling
Date of initial:: 11/26/2019
Summary:: Active, a bit nervous though friendly and allowed handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Nas so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: While another dog was walking passed Nas in the kennel room, Nas snapped at him twice. The handler attempted to move Nas away when he jumped and mouthed her hand with little pressure.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 2
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to Nas' observed mouthiness, we feel as though he may be best set up to succeed in a home without young children at this time.
Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition
Potential challenges comments:: Nas has been observed to jump up and mouth handlers, please see handout on Mouthiness should these concerns arise in a future home environment.
