02/20/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/20/16 11:50 Basha was brought to the care center as a stray. She has been living in a crate outside for the past few month in the back of an apartment building. One of the finders brought her to ACC as they did not want her to to have to stay in that condition, but could not keep a pet themselves. Finder has only fed Basha while attepting to put a leash on her. They stated that she was tense at first but then became wiggly and took treats and food from their hand. Basha did the same behavior at the Admissions center with the counselors. She was social and her whole body wiggled and wagged when approached. She did get stiff and growl at the mirochip scanner, so scanning was delayed. She allowed the cousnelor to collar, take a photograph and place into the kennel. She began stress pant and whine when placed back in the kennel, but still took treats from the counselors hand.

02/24/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Gentle Basha longs to be free, and after months spent living in a backyard crate who can blame her? The Care Center is a step up from staying out in the cold but she’s a restless soul more interested in stepping out than settling down, and her butterscotch eyes beg for a walk the minute I near her kennel. Basha pulls strongly on leash but we quickly solve that by switching to a harness and she surprises me by taking care of ‘number two’ as soon as we hit the yard. This good girl may not have lived in a house recently but she certainly appears to be house trained! Free in a pen Basha sniffs all around then scrabbles her paws up the fence on a quest known only to her own heart. Does she want treats? No, not tonight. Snuggles? Well, maybe a little. I give and receive a few kisses too but it seems all she really wants is to be off on an adventure to the park and who am I to say no? The arrival of another dog quickly catches her attention and she runs to greet him with a wiggly butt and a wagging tail, so happy to meet a new four-legged friend. Soft and sweet and easy to love, Basha is trying hard to find her way in the world but she needs a helping hand to guide her home. If you’re searching for a pretty pet with a ton of potential then look no further than Miss Basha, she’s ready to welcome freedom and a forever home with open arms…

She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Basha was not interested in toys. Basha was brought to the care center as a stray.

02/23/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Basha was initially nervous when interacting, she was a bit stiff and only after an extended period of time, offered play bows. She became much more comfortable throughout her stay and began to readily engage in running play with a playful male. She arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction as well as allowing her time to acclimate to her surroundings before introducing her to any resident dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Basha is a bit tense, ignores greeting, then offers a few tense bows. 2/25 update: Basha engages in running play, offering bows in attempts to solicit the male dog in play.
