06/23/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Captain Planet has made it his mission to rid all my bags and pockets of treats. Sharing with others is not on is mind despite my plea for him to stop. I guess we will need to meet at another time, treat-less, to see who the real Captain Planet truly is…as duck jerkies, dry liver and bacon strips make him lose focus. At nine years of age, Captain Planet is a strong gentleman. He would never refuse a leash. Oh, no. This is the promise of a walk and to do his business where it should be, outside his living quarters. He pulls quite a bit. The yard is my best bet. Captain Planet stays around me, listens, accepts caresses, sits on command but will jump very high…to the moon…to sample the treats offered to him. He is quite good looking in his strawberry blonde coat and owns an engaging whitish face with sparkling orangy eyes. I have to get to know you a little bit better, Captain Planet and will be back for you, shortly. Stay tuned…for more. Another volunteer writes: I had been told that Captain Planet is relentless in his quest for treats (he’s too thin), so left my treats outside and went to leash this handsome fellow who had been waiting his turn all day. Off leash in a pen he pottied, and we played fetch, Captain taking the occasional break to come to me for some petting. When I tossed the ball into the wading pool, it was fun watching the wheels turn in his head as he tried to figure out how to get the prize without getting wet. So cute! Finally giving in to needing to step into the pool in order to retrieve the ball, his delicate and carefully placed paws were like a choreographed dance. Captain is lively with an abundance of energy, loves to jump so will need to learn some manners in his new home. Captain Planet was an animated TV show about the environment and was way ahead of it’s time. As someone said recently, we need him now more than ever. We can say that about our four legged, middle-aged and puppy like boy, too!

06/22/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 6/21/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 6/22/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, closed mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, bit distracted. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Summary: Capt Planet displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment and was social throughout. PLAYGROUP: Capt Planet has had limited playgroup interaction with dogs in the care center due to concerning behavior displayed in the yard. During his initial interaction, he ignored the presence of the greeter dog, and became fixated on a hanging fixture, and began to grab and tug at this object, difficult to distract. The behavior department recommends allowing a period of decompression for Capt Planet before immediate introduction to dogs. Future introductions should be conducted to respectful and tolerant dogs, at a slow pace. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Upon intake, Capt Planet had a loose body and allowed handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/21/17 During his initial medical exam, Capt Planet was social and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Capt Planet so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is an enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Capt Planet has jumped up and grabbed bags and objects with as high level of intensity at the care center. Due to this intense grabbing behavior, we recommend an adult only home. Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: Capt Planet has displayed an intense level of grabbing at objects in the care center. He jumps up and grabs things (bags, baskets, etc.) and is reluctant to let go of them. He has traded these things for treats. He will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to leave things alone and not jump. If he does grab something, he should always be traded for a treat. Nothing should ever be forcibly removed from his mouth.
