10/19/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Chance is the coolest guy in a tiger striped suit! He was found as a stray and unfortunately his finder could no longer keep him due to housing restrictions. We’re told he is loose and wiggly with strangers, plays gently with children, and is a laidback mellow dog. He sometimes seems a bit anxious in the shelter environment, but is still completely friendly and sweet. He loves going out and about, graciously accepts compliments on his good looks, and is very waggy and attention seeking. He seems housebroken, does adorable head tilts at curious noises (like the backing-up beep from a school bus), and likes to play fetch. At the moment he seems sort of needy for attention, but not in an overbearing or demanding way, sort of an endearing “What am I doing here?”/”Please comfort me” kind of way. He is very endearing, sweet and charming and belongs in a home…come see if it might be yours!!

Summary: Chance was enthusiastic and interactive during his assessment, jumping on the Assessor and Assistant. He showed no red flag behaviors. PLAYGROUP: According to Chance’s previous owner, Chance has lived with another Pitbull terrier and is described as relaxed and playful, he will engage in exuberant play. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Chance displays bouncy body language when socializing with male and female dogs. He may attempt to mount female dogs but is able to listen to handler interruptions. He engages in gentle play with male dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that Chance be placed in a home with dogs that match his gentle play style and that a dog-dog interaction is conducted with a potential adopter’s dog to ensure compatibility. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/14/16 During his initial medical examination, Chance was active and difficult to position for restraint, attention-seeking, rolling over, and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: Chance’s previous owner describes him as mellow. In the care center, Chance has been active and exuberant, though mostly directed at gaining attention from his handlers. We cannot be certain what level of behavior Chance will display in a future home, but we suggest that potential adopters be open to both possibilities. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
