How cute is this little guy?! Meet little Mini Schnauzer mix boy Tea Cup. Just 2 years old, a tiny 11 lbs, he was surrendered to Brooklyn ACC by his previous owners due to them not having time to care for him anymore. A fearful little guy, he will duck & hide from strangers, children & unfamiliar dogs, & has separation anxiety when left alone. Tea Cup would do best in an adult-only, small dog savvy home where his new pawarent is there most of the time. Maybe your house? Rescue-only due to his fearfulness, meaning you have to apply with rescues to FOSTER or ADOPT this adorable little fella. PLEASE, DO! Apply now to SAVE his LIFE!!!
For a New Family to Know:

Tea Cup knows the following cues: sit, lay down, get down, stop, no, come here, move, watch out. His owner stated their favorite thing about Tea Cup is that he loves cuddles.

Recommendations: No children (under 13). Place with a New Hope partner. Recommendations comments: No children (under 13): Due to Tea Cup's fearfulness and bite history, we recommend he goes to an adult-only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Tea Cup's fearfulness and bite history, we recommend he is placed with one of our New Hope Partners. Potential challenges: Destructive behavior/Basic manners/poor impulse control/Handling/touch sensitivity/Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/Separation anxiety. Potential challenges comments: Destructive behavior: Tea Cup is reported to have destructive tendencies in the previous home. Tea Cup will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so he can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Basic manners/poor impulse control: Tea Cup is reported to jump on his previous owners persistently. We recommend teaching "sit/stay" commands to help control his impulses. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/Handling/touch sensitivity: Tea Cup has been intesnely fearful in care and has bitten was his face was being over-handled and is noted to grow/snap at the groomers. It should always be his choice to approach a new person or thing. Tea Cup would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. See handout on Decompression Period / Handling/touch sensitivity. Separation anxiety: Tea Cup is reported to be destructive in the home and anxious when left alone. We recommend that potential adopters feel comfortable with separation anxiety behaviors and prepared to manage and positively modify them should they appear in a home environment. He would do best in a home where a person is at home for a large part of the day or with a plan so he is not alone for long periods of time. See handout on Separation Anxiety.
Tea Cup was surrendered to the BACC by his previous owners due to them not having time to care for him anymore. Tea Cup is noted to have several behavior concerns and a bite history. His previous owners state that generally Tea Cup is a shy, fearful dog that prefers to interact on his own terms. Tea Cup will growl when new stranger approach him and will duck and hide away from children and unfamiliar dogs. Tea Cup is also noted to have destructive tendencies in the home and described to have separation anxiety when the owners were not in the house. Tea Cup does have a bite history, the owners daughter was bitten once due to her playfulness and waving her hands in Tea Cup's face. Tea Cup bit, released, and retreated. In care, Tea Cup has been intensely fearful, hyper-vigilant and avoids any form of interaction from staff and hides behind objects/staff. As a result, we recommend Tea Cup is placed with one of our New Hope Partners.

******** RE: ACC site *****************
Just because a dog is not on the ACC site does NOT necessarily mean safe. There are many reasons for this like a hold or a behavior evaluation has not been conducted yet or the dog is rescue-only... the list goes on... Please, do share these pups as well until their threads are updated with their most current status. Thank you for caring! ♥
