About Navy Blue

TO BE EUTHANIZED 2/10/26 IN NYC Have you ever seen a more heartbroken face? This is the face of a pup who was discarded after 9 years because his parent said they developed allergies to him and no longer had time for him. Let's be clear a pet is a LIFELONG commitment. This should not have happened to Navy Blue, it shouldn't happen to any dog. It's early days for him, as he has been here only been at the shelter a week. But this is a dog who is friendly, outgoing and playful with children (he lived with a teen!) and is the same with other dogs (he lived with another dog too!). He is housetrained, crate trained, and never guarded his things. His favorite pastime was playing with his ball and being in his back yard. Now he is stuck in a tiny kennel, bereft of his family and the life he loved. But despite his short time at the shelter and his broken heart, Navy has begun to make friends. He greets familiar handlers with a loose, wiggly body and is easily leashed. In a calmer setting (in the couch room) he engages socially, exploring his environment with a neutral body posture, and accepts treats gently before being returned to his kennel. He just needs time, and a family who cherish him and all his love. If you are an experienced foster or adopter who can give Navy back the family life he loved, please hurry he does not have much time left , please text Lat 516 457-3678 if you can foster or adopt .

Yellow AT RISK MEMO: Navy Blue is at risk due to behavior concerns. In the Care Centers, Navy Blue presents as highly fearful. When staff attempt to pet or interact with him, he becomes tense and exhibits hard staring. On one occasion, he was observed lunging at staff while in his kennel. Navy Blue has displayed some social behavior when no physical contact is attempted. Medically, Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex. Navy blue came into the care center as an owner surrender due to his owner developing allegies towards him and not having time to take care of him anymore. In the prior home he is noted with his owners to be social, affectionate, active, playful, quiet dog. He spends most of his time in the living room, in the backyard, and in his crate. Navy Blue has not adjusted well to the care center environment. While in his kennel, he has been observed baring teeth, growling, and lunging toward handlers, indicating kennel-related stress and defensive behavior.During his medical exam, Navy Blue avoided eye contact and displayed growling and teeth-baring behavior while in the kennel. Once removed from the kennel, his demeanor softened and he began to lean in for petting; however, after brief contact, he growled and snapped at the handler. With familiar handlers he is noted to a handler with a loose, wiggly body and was easily leashed. In a calmer setting he engaged socially, explored his environment with a neutral body posture, and accepted treats gently before being returned to his kennel. Due to these behaviors, Navy Blue is available for rescue through one of our new hope partners. He would benefit from a low-stress, structured environment with experienced handlers who can utilize slow introductions, consent-based handling, and continued behavior modification to help build trust and reduce defensive responses.
