09/14/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Some dogs have a special soulful spark that can never be dimmed, no matter what life throws at them, and you find it most often in the older set. They are the pets with graying muzzles and the hard-won wisdom that comes from half a lifetime (or more) of experience and loyalty to their people. Despite only meeting her once, I can say without a doubt that darling 8-year-old Ann is just such a dog. I look into her eyes and see beauty, love and hope looking back at me, and the fact that one of them is ‘ruined’ means nothing when compared to the overall grace and gentleness of her presence. She has the elegant dignity of a good girl fallen on hard times, but still able to keep her chin up. Yes, sometimes the stress wins and she sadly bows it down, but she’s still trying, still putting her heart out there and hoping to receive kindness in return. Ann’s a bit shy at first but walks nicely on leash, enjoys petting and soft snuggles and accepts a bandanna for her photo shoot with no complaints, sitting quietly as I snap away and cocking her head like a puppy over a squeaky toy. My treats are not up to snuff, but she sniffs them politely before rejecting them, and every move she makes is a study in zen-like calm. Off leash with fellow dogs, Ann’s still a little timid, and will need slow introductions to new four-legged friends, but she aced her behavior assessment in every other respect with perfect (that’s right, perfect!) scores on everything from handling to resource sharing. Immediate veterinary attention followed by a lifetime of love are the key ingredients needed to bring Ann back to life, and despite all she’s suffered, this good girl is still ready to take a chance on love…are you?

09/11/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Ann came to the care center as a stray so her behavior in a home is unknown. Upon intake she appeared friendly. She walked nicely on leash and appeared calm in the assessment room. Her eyes were averted during Look, body neutral and ears back. For Sensitivity her body was soft, lip long. During Tag she followed slowly. She did not pull back her paw on either Squeeze attempt. She displayed minimal interest in Toy, sniffing it. When approaching another dog on leash at the care center, Ann does not approach. The Behavior Team recommends that Ann be placed in an Average home. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed or back. Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog may smells, then turns away. Dog – dog 2. Dog does not approach the helper dog. Turns body to side in relation to other dog, or exits.

09/12/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
09/12/16: Ann arrived into our care as a stray, so there is no available history of previous interaction with other dogs. When introduced off leash to another dog in the care center, Ann displays nervous behavior. She is a bit fearful, tucks away from approach and turns her head away when sniffed. The behavior team feels that Ann would be most comfortable as the only resident dog in a new home, before following up on his/her behavior around them outside the care center environment.
