07/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Soft, sexy and sultry is just one of Miss Hennessey’s ‘looks’….and those bedroom eyes get me every time! Her other ‘look’ is a happy, bright eyed, wide smile face. Both ‘looks’ are on a well groomed, fit figure, wrapped up in a gorgeously groomed coat. Simply put – she’s stunning and looks fabulous all the time. Her leash manners are lovely, she’s happy to be out for a walk but the heat gets to both of us and we do our best snuggling inside as we wait for her kennel to be ready. In the yard she wags her tail happily at a dog in an adjoining pen, plays tug with me briefly, takes treats gently but seems to prefer picking them up off the ground than from my fingers. Hennessey was adopted from us and returned as her person no longer had time for her. She does well with other dogs, soliciting and engaging in rough play. Hennessey is looking for a home with structure, love and a person who understands what a commitment is all about. She’s such a good girl, we were happy to see her adopted, sad to see her back, but perhaps that adoption was just a ‘place saver’ until the right person meets her. Could that be you?

07/25/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Hennessey came into our center on 7/23/2016. She was friendly and affectionate upon intake. Hennessey walked well on leash but pulled if interested in something. She jumped up hard on assessor upon entering SAFER assessment room, mouthing arm with some pressure. Hennessey was difficult to position for tactile portions of the SAFER assessment. She pulled out of assessor’s hands on all three Look attempts. Hennessey displayed high energy and movement during Sensitivity item, body soft but wiggly. She jumped up and mouthed assessor’s arm during Tag game, some light to moderate pressure, settled easily at end of game. Hennessey shoulder rubbed during positioning for Squeeze item. Once positioned, Hennessey moved her body away so remaining item was conducted using flank. Hennessy displayed high energy and movement on both Flank Squeezes, jumping up on assessor at end of item. She kept a firm grip on Toy, a bit stiff. When off leash with greeter dog Hennessey solicits and engages in rough play. The Behavior Team feels Hennessey would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have children. She would benefit from obedience classes to learn body awareness and not to mouth or jump up. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, body soft Tag: 3. Dog jumps on assessor hard during game, mouths assessor’s arm with light to moderate pressure. Squeeze 1: 3. Dog is soft in body and eye, and moves her legs/body so that the Assessor is unable to hold the paw Flank squeeze 1 / 2. 2 Dog displays high energy and movement, jumps up on assessor at end Toy 3. Dog takes away, keeps a firm hold. Her body is stiff. Dog-dog: When off leash with greeter dog Hennessey solicits and engages in rough play. 8/30/16 update: Hennessey has been at the care center for over a month and is beginning to show signs of behavioral deterioration as a result of the long stay. She is a young and enthusiastic dog and the kennel environment cannot meet her needs for exercise and mental stimulation. She has shown a low threshold for arousal recently and is mouthing with moderate-to-hard pressure on walks. This behavior appears to be motivated by play or attention-seeking, but she is becoming difficult to manage in the care center. It is in her best interest to move into a stable home environment where she can receive daily exercise and mental and physical stimulation.
