02/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “He loves baths and brushing, is crate trained, housetrained, friendly, affectionate and playful. He loves to play fetch, tug, and chase, lived with a child and is friendly to strangers.” Bentley has a glowing resume from his former family who surrendered him when they moved where he wasn’t welcome. Bentley tried hard, and succeeded, to get my attention and went potty the moment we were outside. Good boy, Bentley! His tail wags constantly, and as we walk I admire his pristine white coat and gorgeous light green eyes. He pulls slightly on the leash but no biggie, and we’re told by his former owner that he’s used to being walked 3x a day. Stopping to pose for some pictures, Bentley makes soft eye contact and softly takes treats from my hand. In the yard Bentley hops up on the bench beside me for a quick snuggle, briefly plays with a toy and checks out what’s going on in adjoining pens. Through it all his tail wags, wags, wags! Bentley is so nicely behaved, our assessment team feels he can go to a home with average dog experience. And as we’re told he chases kitties, no kitties please. He’s ready to show you how wonderful he is… come meet him today.

02/03/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bentley has shown a concerning level of arousal when interacting off leash with other dogs. He interacts politely but then escalates without provocation. He begins snapping at her mouth and only ceases when handler correction is offered. Once his leash is taken to lead him out of the pen he pulls toward the other dog, growling with a stiff body. Because of his quick escalation without warning and continuing to pursue the other dog after the incident, the Behavior Team feels Bentley should go to an experienced home.

02/02/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Bentley is tense with a high tail during greeting. He interacts politely with the helper dog–sniffing while exploring the yard. The two often stand near each other without concern, but at one point the helper dog turns to walk past and Bentley escalates without provocation. He begins snapping at her mouth and only ceases when handler correction is offered. Once his leash is taken to lead him out of the pen he pulls toward the other dog, growling with a stiff body. His owner does not cite any interactions with other dogs but does say Bentley “gets very excited when he sees other dogs.” Based on the behaviors seen in the care center, the behavior department recommends that Bentley does not go to a home with other dogs until these behaviors can be followed up on.
