7/11, Beautiful, and Children: 6 yrs old, 75 lbs Manhattan ACC Blocka ID# 46248 Gorgeous, lovable Blocka would love to go home! She is a bit on the shy side and very sweet. *** TO BE KILLED - 1/5/2019 *** HER OWNER DIED :( UPDATE: Blocka HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED to STATEN ISLAND ACC to better her chances of adoption but now she's on the kill list :( Meet cutie pie Blocka ~ Raven angel whose shy, silly smile has captured the hearts of all volunteers. Gorgeous, lovable Blocka finds herself in the shelter because her owner passed away :( She is a shy, sweet girl, very beautiful and cute. Blocka needs time to understand where she is now and what happened to her and she is still about to get to know the shelter surroundings and her volunteers. A volunteer writes on 12/31/18 It's very sad to see any companion spend their days in a kennel. But when you've been such a good girl, and no one notices you for 2 months, it's even sadder. Blocka has done playgroup with other dogs in MACC, and has appeared very loose with other dogs in SIACC. She's a little shy at first with people, but then warms up nicely with the one she's with. Blocka wants to start the new year in a home. There is nothing sweeter than seeing a shelter pup walk out those front doors to start a new beginning. Let's see if we can make that happen for sweet Blocka!! An MACC volunteer adds at 12/31/18 Blocka is a great dog. She started her ACC tenure at MACC where she won plenty of volunteer hearts by being a little shy but a lotta sweet. She's actually in better shape than when she arrived, as there was "more to love". Her MACC fans are rooting for her. Another volunteer writes: I could block an entire week in my calendar and still not have the time to adequately describe Blocka. A beautiful, raven girl, full of body and heart, and with a perpetual crinkly-eyed smile on her face even if her mood isn't matching. You see, smiles, they can deceive. And while Blocka romps excitedly along on leash, prances from corner to grassy corner in a pen, and grins endlessly and expertly for photos, that she's searching is obvious. And that she's missing is clear. But not as clear as her strength. On a recent fall day Blocka was resting quietly in her kennel. One look at that face and gorgeous figure behind it and I knew we just had to meet. And as she trotted by my side, giving me a shy, upward glance so often along the way, my heartstrings were pulled nearly as high as Blocka's tail, and if I could give her infinite hugs I would. Blocka is a calm, well-mannered girl who is still occasionally shy with strangers, and might do best with an experienced, patient, and loving family who'll allow her to bloom in her own time. I could block an entire week in my calendar and a whole section of my heart and it still wouldn't be enough for Blocka. One who deserves nothing but all the world. Blocka is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC. Another volunteer writes: They don't come more beautiful than Blocka. Or more sweet. This curvy cutie sadly was brought to the shelter after her owner passed away, and to look at her shiny, perfect coat and full belly, is to know she was deeply loved all her life. Because of that Blocka has had a difficult time at the shelter now without the only family she's ever known. She has enjoyed her time in playgroup and while she's begun to open up to some of her favorite staff members and volunteers, might still prefer an experienced and patient family without young children due to her currently shy temperament. The best things in life are worth waiting for and Blocka is absolutely worth the wait! A Staff Member Notes: Blocka has been waiting for a home since 11/02/18!!! That's quite a long time to spend in a kennel day in and day out. She is a little shy at first, and appears to get along with other dogs. She's in adoptions at SIACC!

Date of intake: 2-Nov-2018 Summary: Allowed handling Date of initial: 3-Nov-2018 Summary: Tense, allowed handling ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Blocka so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. At the care center, she displays a medium level of activity. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Blocka was initially fearful and shut down at the care center, avoiding interaction with novel handlers. Over time she has opening up significantly, displaying loose body and wagging tail when approached by known handlers, seeking petting and attention, and increasing her play. Blocka has seemingly benefited from a low, anxiolytic dose of trazodone as the improvements in her behavior during both one-on-one socialization sessions and playgroup have been in line with starting trazodone. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) Recommendations: No young children (under 5) Recommendations comments: No young children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Blocka may be intimidated by young children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption. Potential challenges: Fearful Anxiety Potential challenges comments: Fearful: Blocka is fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Blocka the option to walk away from any social interaction. Bloacka should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Blocka’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Blocka would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. Anxiety: Blocka appears anxious at the care center, whining, panting, and barking during most one-one interactions. We do not know if this will occur outside of the care center. 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.
