04/12/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Is that a tiger I just saw fly by? A greyhound? A raccoon maybe? Nope, it’s Charleston, darting around as fast as he can to make sure he’s taken in absolutely everything around him and sniffed it or peed on it just a little, just to be safe. Whether he’s chasing a group of birds, grabbing a quick bite of grass, or running after a ball to then immediately forget about it–Charleston is a ball of energy and curiosity. This guy is young, enthusiastic, and interested in just about everything. He’d do great with an adopter with an active lifestyle who can give him the exercise, structure, and love that he needs. When Charleston and I hang out outside in the pen, he alternates between checking up on me and climbing all over to give me a few quick (attempted) licks on the face, and doing laps around the pen to see everything that’s going on around us. When he gets tired of that, he noses my fanny pack trying to get treats, til he gets distracted chasing a fly. This guy really is a character. Charleston seems to be housetrained, and while he’s not great with other dogs, I think he could be a great match and a faithful companion for the right adopter. Please come and see him today!

03/29/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 3/26/17 Neutered male, Stray Other notes: Charleston was loose and wiggly during intake. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 3/29/17 Toy: 1. No interest Summary: Charleston was anxious and easily aroused during the assessment. He was fixated on the leash, he began to leash bite in addition to jumping up and air snapping. He was hard barking and had to be placed back into the kennel. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Charleston was brought in as a stray so his past behavior around other dogs was unknown. Charleston becomes reactive when greeting a novel dog, hard barking and bearing his teeth. Due to this display of discomfort, the Behavior Department recommends that Charleston be the only dog in the home. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Charleston associate other dogs with things he enjoys, like toys or treats. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/26/17 During his initial medical examination, Charleston tolerated minimal handling, uncomfortable. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Charleston so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, 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: New Hope Only _X_Single-dog home/Recommend no dog parks (Due to Charleston display of defensive behavior -hard barking and bearing teeth- the behavior department recommends that he not be placed in a home with other dogs at this time. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Charleston associate other dogs with things he enjoys, like toys or treats.) _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to all noted concerns displayed in a care center environment, the behavior department recommends Charleston be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Charleston to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Charleston to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Cinnamon presents with outside of the care centers.

03/27/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Charleston was brought in as a stray so his past behavior around other dogs was unknown. Charleston becomes reactive when greeting a novel dog, hard barking and bearing his teeth. Due to this display of discomfort, the Behavior Department recommends that Charleston be the only dog in the home. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Charleston associate other dogs with things he enjoys, like toys or treats. 3/27: When off leash at the Care Center, Charleston approaches the female helper dog at the gate, stiffens his body, leans forward and begins to hard bark while baring his teeth. Due to this defensive behavior we attempted to muzzle him before allowing him off leash with the helper dog. Unfortunately we were unable to safely muzzle Charleston; he was head-whipping on each attempt.
