01/12/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Gorgeous, soft, schmushy, fun and lively – that’s our Biscuit! He’s like a big baby a staff person said to me. And she’s right! He delights in everything, has an amazing smile, loves to play and meet new people and other dogs. Surrendered by his family as they no longer have time to care for him we’re told he’s friendly and outgoing with everyone, has been around young children and is playful, lived with another dog with whom he was affectionate and playful, loves baths and water (he took a shower with his owner), is very housetrained, is crate trained, and knows ‘sit’, ‘come’ and ‘down’. Biscuit showed me some of his skills, including peeing forever as soon as we were out the door so is indeed very housetrained. He sits for a treat as soon as he sees it, I didn’t even have to ask him to sit. Smart boy! Whether it’s chasing a ball to play fetch, playing with a toy, running off to play bow to a dog through the fence, coming over for some petting, or posing for pictures, Biscuit does it all with style and a big smile on his face. He loves life and it shows. Biscuit is looking for an active family and a four legged sibling would be a plus. He is indeed a “big baby”, and a fun one at that. I found myself schmushing his smiling jowls and you will too!

01/13/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Biscuit came into our center as an owner surrender on 1/9/2016. Owner reports Biscuit is immediately friendly and outgoing. He was very hyper and allowed all handling during his initial medical exam. Biscuit pulled very hard on leash for his relief walk. He jumped up on assessor during all three Look attempts, pulling out of assessor’s hands. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, tail wagging, open mouth pant. Biscuit followed at the end of the leash during Tag game, a bit distracted, but unresponsive to each pass. Biscuit was a bit difficult to position for Squeeze item, needing to be reset in between attempts. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, tail wagging. Biscuit showed minimal interest in toy, mouthing and licking it a few times but losing interest and relinquishing easily. He approached the helper dog a bit quickly, ears forward, tail at spine level, whimpering. The Behavior Team feels Biscuit would do well with an adopter that has an average amount of dog experience. He would benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as not to jump up. Biscuit would benefit from daily mental and physical stimulation the forms of exercise and play with durable toys such as kongs and nylabones to positively direct his high energy. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions, jumps up. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is wagging with relaxed body posture, open mouth pant. Tag: 2. Dog follows, a bit distracted and is unresponsive to the Assessor. Squeeze 1/ 2: 1. Difficult to position. Dog gently pulls back paw, tail wag. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells and licks, then turns away. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog, body soft, tail above spine level, ears forward, whining.

01/12/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Biscuit is forward when being introduced to females (he has not yet been introduced to a male) and will immediately solicit rough, mouthy play. He is boistrous during play but responds well to correction that is meant to slow him down. His owner reports that Biscuit lived with another dog and they “were very affectionate and playful with each other.” Based on this information the behavior department recommends Biscuit have a pre-adoption interaction to ensure the resident dog is comfortable with his exuberant play style. When off leash with other dogs, Biscuit engages in mouthy play with the helper dog. 1/13: Biscuit engages in mouthy play with another playful female. 1/14: Biscuit solicits play from the other dogs. While engaging in play, Biscuit is exuberant and becomes mouthy. He begins to slow down in response to receiving correction for this behavior from another dog. 1/15 update: Biscuit engages in brief bouts of running play with a female dog.
