08/18/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/18/17 14:43 Basic: Bella Rose is a 6 month old large female dog. Her owner got her from a breeder and has had her for 5 months. She is being surrendered because of allergies at home. She has not had any injuries or illnesses and was last seen by a vet 3 months ago for her first round of vaccines. Socialization: Around strangers Bella is friendly and outgoing, she can be shy for a few minutes, but then really opens up. She has lived with a 6 year old and a 1 year old and is very friendly and playful with them. She plays exuberantly with adults and children. She has been around other dogs but has not been able to interact with them because she hard barks and her owner has been nervous and has never let her interacted. She has not spent time with other pets. She does not have a bite history. Behavior: Bella Rose is well-behaved. She will chew on things inside and will bark sometimes when she hears dogs outside. She isnt bothered when someone touches her food while shes eating, takes a toy away or a treat. She also isnt bothered when someone pushes her off furniture, restrains her, touches her feet, brushes her, when someone unfamiliar approaches her owner/family member. She gets nervous during baths and will bark when someone unfamiliar is at the front door. For New Family: Bella Rose is described as friendly, affectionate, playful and sometimes shy. Her activity level is high and she loves to play with her toys and run around off leash at dog parks, when there are no other dogs. She likes to play with all toys and does not know any games or commands. She understands mainly Spanish. She sleeps on the couch and eats dry food 3dxday. She will follow her owner around the house and is housetrained and rarely has accidents. She likes to go on the grass and cement when outside. She chews on things when left alone. She was crate trained as a puppy and did well for up to 5 hours. She pulls hard on the leash and when off leash wanders but comes when called. During intake Bella was nervous with her tail tucked between her legs. When the counselor would call her over she had a low fast wagging tail and would come over to the counselor. She did not grow anxious when her owner left. She was giving the counselor kisses. She was hard barking at the other dog in the room but when corrected and told “no” firmly, she stopped. She let the counselor handle her everywhere and pick her up and bring her into medical since she was scared and would not go in on her own.

At this time, we recommend placing Bella Rose into a home with no other resident dogs. Follwo up on her behavior around other animals should be conducted using force-free, positive reinforcement methods of training. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Upon intake, Bella Rose was tense and had a tucked tail and was hard barking at dogs. She allowed handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 8/18/17 During her initial medical exam, Bella Rose was social and allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Bella Rose so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only Potential challenges: _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Bella Rose has displayed reactivity to other dogs in the care center and has redirected, attempting to bite the handler, when pulled away from the other dog. For this reason, the behavior department recommends Bella Rose be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Bella Rose to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Bella Rose to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Bella Rose presents with outside of the care centers. X Single pet home: See PLAYGROUP Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: Bella Rose is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Bella Rose the option to walk away from any social interaction. Bella Rose should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Bella Rose’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Bella Rose would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center and in her previous home, Bella Rose has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them and barking. Bella Rose may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
