07/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Lying so quietly in his kennel, I couldn’t wait to meet this handsome guy with the big rabbit ears and huge ear to ear grin. Leashed easily, we head outside where he peed enough to end the drought in California! Whew, he’d been holding it! He’s so majestic looking, my first thought was that he was carved from the finest marble by none other than Michelangelo! His latte color coat is immaculate, his weight perfect for his size, and while he pulls slightly on leash, it’s all about finding another perfect spot to pee another pint! Off leash in the yard we snuggle, we kiss, we play ball, we snuggle some more and BB (for short) shows me how gently he takes a treat. BB was found tied to a tree by a police officer who brought him to our care. During intake, BB crawled into the officer’s lap and rolled over for a belly rub. This big boy is just a big baby!! In his first group play session, he avoided the helper dog, rather seeking the company of the handlers. A sweetheart of a people dog, he’s soft, calm, gentle and easy, and that ear-to-ear grin, sparkling eyes and wagging tail is sure to win your heart as he did mine. Ask to meet him today.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Buster Brown came into our center after a police officer found him tied to a tree. He climbed into officer’s lap and allowed all petting, rolling onto his back. Buster Brown was friendly and allowed all handling during his initial medical exam. Buster Brown pulled hard on leash for his relief walk. He was friendly and sociable upon entering the SAFER assessment room. Buster Brown allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, relaxed. He leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, openmouth, ears and tail neutral. Buster Brown was distracted during Tag game, focused on other stimuli, unresponsive to each pass. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He playfully engaged with Toy, kept a firm grip with loose body. When off leash with other dogs Buster Brown is nervous and avoidant. He will turn away when sniffed and keep his distance from the helper dog. He is social with and seeks attention from handlers. The Behavior Team feels Buster Brown would do well with an Average adopter, he may benefit from being the only resident dog. Buster Brown may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners and social skills in regards to being around other dogs. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1.
