DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Checkers solicits and engages in gentle play in a group of playful male and female dogs. Checkers was surrendered as a stray so her past behavior around dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Checkers be placed with resident dogs that match her gentle play style. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/17/17: During her medical examination, Checkers was shy but very sweet and allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Checkers so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
