07/25/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “An earl is a member of the nobility”, according to the dictionary, but our noble Earl isn’t too royal to give in to lots of snuggles and a belly rub! Even our medical staff told me that during his medical intake exam, he rolled over for a belly rub. Can we all say, awwwwwwwwwww? Earl is a compact little guy ready to make friends with everyone he sees. He gives great hugs, likes to be leaning on his person, and, like the perfect gentleman he is, weathered out the torrential rain with me hiding under some scaffolding. As wet as we both were, he posed for pictures as if he was sitting for his royal portrait, showed me his ‘sit’ and ‘paw’, and enjoyed some treats, taking them gently. He’s a little guy, but pulls hard on the leash, so a harness and/or some leash training will help both ends of the leash. Earl seems to be housetrained, and loves giving kisses. Once back inside, I toweled him off, as his tail wagged and he slid down and over for a belly rub. He’s adorable, sweet, affectionate, fun and friendly and looking for his new kingdom (I mean family). We shouldn’t let royalty wait, should we? Come meet him today. A volunteer updates: What time is it? It’s HUG O’CLOCK! Stand up hugs, sit down hugs, lay down hugs and belly rubs…nothing makes Earl happier than being close to his person. He’s a lover boy!!! And he’s so cute and compact, he fits anywhere on your lap, and will make it work. After going potty (the first thing always on his agenda), it’s then hug time. He’s never demanding, always respectful, but it’s clearly his favorite thing. A toy gets passing interest and play, and then it’s back to a hug. If a warm, snuggly body is what you’re looking for in your furry friend, than ask to meet Earl today and take home a hug!

07/25/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
CANINE BEHAVIOR EVALUATION for Earl A1119534 KNOWN HISTORY: None 07/23/17 Intact male, stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 07/25/17 Look: 1. Dog leans forward or jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. His body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog might jump on Assessor once play begins. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Dog may lick hand. Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy 1: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness. Summary: Earl was social throughout PLAYGROUP: Earl has been observed to become reactive toward dogs on leash, and in passing (lunging, growling, hard barking). Earl has displayed the potential for over arousal during his dog-dog assessment (see below). Due to the behaviors observed, Earl is not a candidate for continued off leash interaction at this time. A single dog household is recommended at this time. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: 07/23/17 Upon intake, Earl was friendly. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 07/24/17 During his initial medical examination, Earl was friendly and active. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Earl so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center Earl has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Earl may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs, novel stimuli that may startle him. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
