Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Basic Information:  Annette is a small grey and white female dog that was found loose on the street and was brought to the ACC as a stray.

Previously lived with:  Unknown information

How is this dog around strangers?  When meeting the staff at the ACC for the first time Annette was shy for a few minutes but then she warmed up. She allowed the counselor to pick her up and pet her with no problems.

Behavior Notes:  During intake Annette allowed the counselor to collar her and take her picture with no problems.

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment:  29-Jun-2018
Look:  1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:  1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag:  1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:  2. Dog quickly pulls back.
Paw squeeze 2:  2. Dog quickly pull back.
Toy:  1. No interest.

Summary:  Annette displayed no concerning behavior during her assessment. She was relaxed and allowed all handling.

Summary (1):  Annette was surrender as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown.
6/29- 7/1: When off leash at the Care Centers, Annette greets a group of calm male and female dogs with a neutral posture. She explores the yard, occasionally checking in with the group.

Date of intake:  28-Jun-2018
Summary:  During intake Annette allowed all handling.

Date of initial:  29-Jun-2018
Summary:  shy/timid, but warms up, and allowed most handling

ENERGY LEVEL:  We have no history on Annette so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. Annette displayed low energy and movement throughout assessment, and will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
