03/29/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/29/16 21:35 Basic Info: Champ A1068831 is a 4yr old male tan & white AMPBT mix who was purchased from someone selling puppies & is being surrendered due to personal problems. Champ was last seen by a veterinarian in 2013 and currently has no known health issues/injuries. Socialization: Around strangers Champ is nervous, he needs time to warm up to someone or depends on if he gets “vibes” from them. He hasn’t lived with cats or children but has spent time with young family members (ages 7-13yrs) that visit & is relaxed, gentle, exuberant & playful with them, also a spayed female Pitbull in the home (the only dog Champ gets along with). Champ has never bitten/scratched any person or animal. When he sees a dog on the street he pulls his owner towards them/lunges, barks & sometimes growls. The owner hasn’t let him get close to see how he would react. Behavior: Champ is a very hyper boy who jumps very high. Champ is afraid of fireworks; he’ll pace back & forth while whining. He isn’t bothered by the following: having his food/food bowl or treats touched/moved, he’s possesive of his toys and will growl if you attempt to touch/grab them. Champ hasn’t been brushed, isn’t allowed on the furniture or been disturbed while sleeping/resting. Champ doesn’t like his paws touched (owner hasn’t trimmed his nails) & it also makes bathing difficult. If someone approaches the home/family member he’ll bark and the owner will move him into a bedroom away from the visitor(s). The owner stated Champ is very protective of her and doesn’t like people coming near them or walk towards them. For A New Family to Know: Champ is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, pushy & excitable with a very high activity level. The owner likes how he hops & jumps up high. Champ loves his ball toys. Champ is house broken but will have a rare accident if someone takes too long to take him out. He’s mostly an indoor only dog who’s walked 3-4x a day where he pulls on the leash if he really has to “go”, sleeps on the floor by the owner’s bed & eats dry Alpo dog food 2x a day. Champs known commands are “sit” & “hop/jump”. Intake Behavior: Due to the behaviors explained to us from the owner minimal handling was done with Champ, however he did take treats gently (Pupperoni, he loved them). The owner assisted with scanning, collaring, getting his picture taken and placing him into the kennel which he attempted to flee out of.

WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes:  Handsome, elegant, gorgeous eyes, and little funky ears that take away from his oh so serious expression and make him deliciously adorable.   Surrendered due to personal problems we’re told that Champ needs time to warm up to new people, is housetrained, protective of his person,  and is “friendly, affectionate, playful and confident”.    Champ and I went for a walk where he showed off both his housetraining skills and his great leash manners, and even though he’s shy and reserved, he knew me as a friend and joined me on the bench for a quick cuddle.  Quiet and calm, he’s also alert and curious, turning towards noises he hears on the street, ears cocked in concentration.  There’s a sadness about him and it’s clear he misses his people, not sure why he’s no longer with them.  Champ has been beautifully taken care of, his coat is clean and groomed, his weight perfect for his size, and his lovely manners reflect a dog who has been nicely trained.  He’s been with young children and is friendly and relaxed with them, lived with a female pit bull, but as he was attacked by little dogs a few years ago, does pull and lunge towards dogs on the street.   Champ is hoping that a new family will find him and love him and want to make him theirs.   We’re wishing that for him too.

04/01/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Champ was at the front of his kennel waiting for the handler to take him out. Once he is removing from his kennel Champ walks calmly on leash. Champ became uncomfortable when the assessor tries to pet him he freezes and wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Champ was not interested in toys. Champ was surrender to us. According to his previous owner he is friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, pushy & excitable with a very high activity level. Around strangers Champ is nervous, he needs time to warm up. He hasn’t lived with cats or children but has spent time with young family members (ages 7-13yrs) that visit & is relaxed, gentle, exuberant & playful with them, also a spayed female Pit-bull in the home (the only dog Champ gets along with). When he sees a dog on the street he pulls his owner towards them/lunges, barks and sometimes growls. He isn’t bothered having his food bowl or treats touched or moved, he’s possessive of his toys and will growl if you attempt to touch and grab them”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Toy 1: No interest. Playgroup Notes: When off leash with other dogs, Champ is a bit tense upon entering the pen. He walks past the female greeter and cautiously sniffs his surroundings. He eventually approaches and very briefly sniffs the other dog.

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Champ is a bit tense upon entering the pen. He walks past the female greeter and cautiously sniffs his surroundings. He eventually approaches and very briefly sniffs the other dog. Champ’s owner reports that he “doesn’t get along with dogs ever since he was attacked by two Shih Tzu’s three years ago.” Champ, however, did live with a spayed female pitbull with whom Champ was relaxed, gentle, exuberant and playful with; they report that is the only dog he gets along with. The owners also stated that whe Champ sees dogs on the street he pulls toward them, lunging, barking and sometimes barking. The behavior department recommends Champ does not go to a home with other dogs until he is able to acclimate to his new surroundings and the behaviors can be followed up on.
