07/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: All curled up and sleeping so soundly in his kennel, Caddy didn’t move a muscle when I unlatched his gate. I stroked him gently with my leash in order to wake and not startle him. Caddy gently looked up at me as he awakened, took a second to get his bearings and then stood with the good stretch of a sound sleep. Stepping down gently from his kennel we head outside where he takes care of all his business right away. A slow and gentle walker, he stumbles on the curbs from time to time which makes me believe he may be slightly vision impaired or have a hint of arthritis. Soft and gentle, Caddy doesn’t mind being tethered for photos, gives kisses and lays his head in my lap for petting. Off leash he enjoys more treats, wanders the pen a bit and comes back to my side as I sit to take some notes. When off leash with other dogs, Caddy offers a polite greeting to the female helper dog and corrects another dog appropriately when needed. A sweet and gentle senior, Caddy is looking for his retirement home…a home with a soft bed, gentle loving, good nutritious food, easy walks and more loving. It should be an easy give to this sweet boy whose demands are small. Won’t you come meet him today?

07/24/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
7/24: When off leash with other dogs Caddy offers a very polite, brief greeting to the female greeter dog. He offers correction when another dog jumps on him to solicit. The behavior department feels that due to limited opportunity for interaction and lack of owner history, the behavior team feels that Caddy should be given time to decompress in a new environment as the only resident dog before introducing him to unfamiliar dogs outside the care center.
