Basic Information:

Baby is a 3 year old spayed large breed dog that has no past or current medical issues that the previous owner is aware of. Previous owner adopted Baby a year ago from SIACC but they can no longer care for her so they returned her to SIACC.

Socialization:

According to the previous owner, around strangers, Baby is friendly and outgoing. Around adults and children (10 &15 years), baby is respectful, gentle and playful. With adults, baby also plays in a gentle manner.  Baby has lived with one other dog and was respectful and playful and played in a gentle manner. Baby has been around cats and is relaxed and playful and gentle as well.  She has never bitten a person or another animal.

Behavior:

Previous owners stated that baby does have accidents indoors (defecates, urinates). Baby isn’t bothered around storms or fireworks.  Baby isn’t bothered when any food, treat, or toy is taken from her or when she is pushed or pulled off furniture. Baby enjoys having baths and isn’t bothered by having her coat brushed or nails trimmed. Baby isn’t bothered when an unfamiliar person approaches the home, yard, previous owner, or a family member.

For a New Family to Know:

Baby is described as friendly, affectionate, independent, and playful with a low activity level. When in the home, Baby is the type to follow you around being in the same room. Baby likes all kinds of toys and she likes to play fetch, chase and tug. Baby was kept mostly indoors and was fed dog food. According to previous owner, according to owner Baby is partially house trained, she does have accidents in the home a few times a week.  Outside Baby usually uses the grass to relive herself.  When left alone in the home and yard, Baby would be well-behaved. Baby knows commands sit, come, give paw, and stay. For exercise, she enjoyed slow walks with previous owner.  On the leash, Baby does not pull. Off leash, she would wander some but come when called by previous owner’s side.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During her initial medical exam, Baby was relaxed and easy to handle.

ENERGY LEVEL:

Her previous owner reports Baby as having a low level of energy which matches what we have seen in the care center. Baby displays as a calm, relaxed and social dog.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)

Potential challenges:

_X_House soiling –  Baby is reported to have occasional accidents in the house, and will likely need guidance with housetraining. We recommend a consistent routine feeding schedule, as well as frequent walks (when Baby first wakes up, before and after meals, and right before bed), and rewards/praise for eliminating outside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse.
