06/12/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/12/16 16:45 Basic Kiara was a gift from a family member overseas and the owner had taken care of her for over a year now. She was brought today because the owner no longer has the time to care for her. She has had no previous health issues or injuries. Socialization When Kiara is with strangers the owner states that she can be shy at first and will take some time before she would warm up to someone. She would be friendly and outgoing after some time past. Owner states that she has lived with a 6 year old and 12 year old at home and is great with them. She allows them to pull her ears and tail and would not react. Owner says that she would bark first to let you know if she does not like something. When playing with adults and children she is gentle and exuberant. She would paw at the person she wants to play with. She has never been around other dogs or other cats. She has never bitten anyone or any animal before. Behavior The owner states that she is well behaved at home alone and would bark when someone is at the door. She is not bothered by loud noises, storm, or fireworks. When touching or taking her food bowl or water bowl away for her she would bark and growl at the person. She is not bothered when someone takes her toy away. When being restrained, held, disturbed while sleeping, or getting a bath she is not bothered. The owner has never tried to trim her nails or brush her out, so they would not know how she would react. When someone unfamiliar approaches their home she would bark.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Kiara was difficult to remove from her kennel showing teeth, growling. Once she was removed from her kennel Kiara walks with a low fearful body language on leash. She became uncomfortable snapping at the handler when he tries to collar kiara. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources she was not interested in toys. Kiara does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. Kiara was surrender to us. According to her previous owner Kiara is shy, excitable, friendly, affectionate, anxious and territorial. She was described to have a medium activity level and loved to play with stuffed toys. When Kiara is with strangers the owner states that she can be shy at first and will take some time before she would warm up to someone. She would be friendly and outgoing after some time past. Owner states that she has lived with a 6 year old and 12 year old at home and is great with them. She allows them to pull her ears and tail and would not react. Kiara has never been around other dogs or other cats. When touching or taking her food bowl or water bowl away for her she would bark and growl at the person. She is not bothered when someone takes her toy away”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog does not approach the helper dog. Turns body to side in relation to other dog, or exits. Helper: A1077164
