11/25/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: You may be wondering why this gorgeous jet black little girl has a name like Apricot, but if you meet her it makes perfect sense. She is as sweet and delicious as a peach, but in an itty bitty little package, just like an apricot. She’s energetic, but easy on the leash and super treat-motivated. She sits politely for goodies, often with one paw up. So cute! Apricot is very friendly, pushing her body into mine for more petting when I crouch down. She’s attentive and happy and a pleasure to be with. Apricot could stand to gain a little weight. I hope she’ll find her forever home for the holidays where she’ll get lots of love and some leftover turkey!

Summary: Apricot was friendly and social towards the assessor, she displayed no behavioral concerns. DOG-DOG ASSESSMENT: Conflict Driven: These dogs are out to have a good time at another’s expense. They tend to target a dog that is giving very clear signals to back off and do not. This behavior is very distressing for the target dogs and should not be allowed to happen. PLAYGROUP: Apricot was surrendered as a stray so her past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Apricot continually displays assertive posturing with male and female dogs. She approaches the other dogs displaying a tense and tall body and walks parallel with the other dogs. She only listens to handler interruptions briefly before displaying assertive posturing again. The Behavior Department believes it would be in Apricot’s best interest to be the only dog in the home, however a proper dog-dog interaction can be conducted with a potential adopter’s dog to assess compatibility. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/19/16 During her medical examination, Apricot was friendly, sociable and allowed all handling.
