01/02/2017 WEB MEMO
Blueberry was surrendered as a stray so her past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Blueberry solicits and engages in gentle play with male and female dogs. She becomes slightly assertive with a female puppy, placing her chin on her back and attempting to mount. With further playgroup sessions, Blueberry is tolerant of play solicitations but does not engage. The Behavior Department believes that Blueberry would be most comfortable with adult dogs with varying personalities.
