Being Alone, Animals, and Apparently: Morena ID# 40805 Gorgeous litte beauty with the sweetest smile. Very friendly Morena is missing her family and loves to sit next to her caretaker, thankful for hugs and caresses She has lovely and gentle manners and lived in harmony with KIDS and CATS. Walfing-on Love Manhattan ACC TO BE KILLED 9/18/18 Pretty Morena <3 A volunteer writes: Morena is a middle- aged gal in mint condition. She has been so well cared for by her former family who unfortunately could not care for a pet anymore. She is elegant, petite, well dressed, healthy and the perfect weight. Morena relishes our company and loves to sit on a bench next to her caretaker. Then come a smile and bright eyes! She is very obedient and along with her great looks, has lovely and gentle manners. Still, Morena whimpers at times and looks for exits, hoping to rejoin her lost loved ones. Petting her and hugging her make her feel better and I imagine that a new owner or family will bring back peace and joy to Morena's heart. Morena is said to be shy around strangers but played well with her human siblings. She also lived with cats (a bonus) and was very tolerant of them. In a nutshell, Morena is a delicious girl, very pleasant to spend time with, very cute, sweet and friendly. She will make once again a wonderful forever-best friend if you offer her your home and your heart. Morena is at the Manhattan Care Center.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) Recommendations:: No young children (under 5),Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to the high level of anxiety Morena displays at the care center, as well as her previous owner stating she is fearful of new people, we recommend a home without young children. Single pet home/no dog parks: See DOG DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT. Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Morena's previous owner described her as fearful of new people. Upon intake, she growled when handled. t is important to always go slow and give Morena the option to walk away from any social interaction. Morena should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Morena’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Morena would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. Anxiety: Morena appears anxious at the care center, whining and seeking exit during her assessment. This behavior was not reported in her previous home, so we do not know if this will occur in a future home If it does appear in a future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving her other things to focus on to alleviate her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. MEDICAL EXAM NOTES 14-Sep-2018 Progress Exam SO recheck serous nasal discharge. EN -- wet nose; no nasal discharge seen.
