About siah: Hello, my name is Siah. My animal id is #217814. I am a male gray dog at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 2 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a aco - owner surrender on 12/31/2024, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- cannot afford to care for.

Sorry, this pet is for new hope partners only.

Siah is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Siah has displayed a low threshold for arousal and is having difficulty acclimating to the shelter environment. While Siah accepts treats and solicits attention from handlers he is familiar/comfortable with, he becomes aroused easily and is unable to settle. He initially would jump up and leash bite once out of kennel, making it difficult to walk him. On walks, he pants, and hyper-salivates, with wide red eyes and has even circled handlers, fixating on their feet on occasion. When passing other dogs as he exits kennel rooms, he lunges, growled, body stiffening. In one instance, Siah attempted to jump up and intensely leash bite when placed on a drag leash with a staff member, this required assistance from other handlers to bring Siah back into his kennel safely. Medically, Siah has CIRDC.

Don't adopt just because you feel sorry for siah!
Adoption should be a well thought out decision, it's a lifetime commitment.
