03/04/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/04/17 17:10 Basic information: Beba is a roughly 3 yr. old Chihuahua. The Owner got her from a family member as a gift; he has owned Beba for over 2 yrs. The owner surrendered Beba because the owner moved to a place that does not allow pets. Beba has never been taken to a vet. Socialization: Around strangers Beba is very shy and fearful. Beba has lived with children between the ages 1 and 17 years old, she is relaxed and playful around the children. Beba has never been around other pets so the owner has no idea how Beba would behave around them. Beba has never bitten anyone. Behavior: The owner stats that Beba is not bothered when some moves her food or treats while she is eating, when someone takes her toys away or when someone disturbs her while sleeping. Beba likes to be brushed and is scared of bathes or having her nails trimmed (she will try to run away from the person). When an unfamiliar person or animal approaches a family member or her home she barks and attempts to hide. The owner says Beba is scared of loud noises such as storms or fireworks and will attempt to hide from the noise. For a new family to know: The owner describes Beba as friendly, but shy with a medium activity level. Her favorite activity is to walk outside with her owner. In the home Beba tends to follow the owner around the house and is kept mainly indoors. Beba sleeps in the floor of the bedroom on a dog bed. Beba was fed kibbles and bites dry dog food twice a day. He is house trained and has never had an accident in the home, when outside he goes to the bathroom on or around trees and grass, she is also wee wee pad trained and pees on the pad. For exercise Beba is used to brisk walks on the leash and twice a day and does not pull on the leash. She is allowed to play off the leash in the dog park sometimes, she wanders off some to explore the surrounding are but comes back when called when off the leash. Behavior during intake: Beba was very tense with stiff body, when approached by staff Beba attempted to run away from the staff member but allowed slow approach, owner was able to assist us, scanned (-), collared and placing in a dog kennel.

Summary: Beba snapped when the assessor was attempting to collar her, so handling positions of the assessment were omitted. She appeared very fearful in the assessment room, tense and trembling.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/4/17 During her initial medical exam, Beba was tense and attempting to flee, she air snapped. ENERGY LEVEL: Previous owner described Beba as having a medium activity level. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable Beba is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Beba has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Beba has attempted to bite during her stay in our care centers when uncomfortable; guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Beba to new and unfamiliar situations.)
