07/12/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Being with Bluejay is like cuddling with a big, soft plush toy! Soft, gentle, snuggly and easy he’s a pleasure to walk, seems housetrained, and never stops wagging his tail. As a matter of fact, my first introduction to BJ was hearing this tail wagging against the sides of his kennel. His dark tongue and lush coat speaks to his Chow heritage. Walking through the park was easy peasy in spite of all the festivities on Fourth of July weekend, food smells, kids, families, music – BJ was quietly by my side not phased by any of it. Off leash he sat in front of me, offered me his paw, turned down my treats, and placed his head on my lap for pettings. His teeth are white and cared for, his coat full, and his weight perfect for his size. BJ’s eyes are a bit cloudy and I suspect some vision impairment, but he manages just fine, thank you very much! Our soft, gentle, snuggly, sweet as can be teddy bear is looking for a new lap on which to lay his head. Shouldn’t it be yours?

07/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE

Bluejay walks calmly on leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Bluejay followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a calm and relaxed body language when playing tag. He was not interested in toys. Bluejay did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture.

07/07/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Bluenote has shown intial concern during off leash interaction with dogs, escalating in response to correction. He has only since had a second interaction with a muzzle, and did appear more tolerant. The behavior team feels that due to having no history on BlueJay (arrived as a stray), and limited interaction, he should be the only resident dog in a home until his behavior around dogs can be followed up on outside of the care center environment. 7/7: When off leash with other dogs, Bluejay is tense upon entering the pen. He stands tall, approaches the greeter dog, and T’s her shoulders. When corrected by the other dog, he escalates, growling and beginning to air-snap. 7/9 update: Due to his previous escalation with another dog, Bluejay is muzzled for this interaction. He greets politely and is tolerant when the greeter dog solicits play by offering paw slaps. He does appear sexually motivated, often standing tall and displaying a high, flagging tail; however, he does not attempt to mount. 7/12: Bluejay is muzzled once more. He is tense with a high tail, however then displays more interest in roaming the pen.
