A Volunteer Wrote: Faith, Hope and Charity. If we didn’t believe in those three tenets we wouldn’t be doing what we do. This dog couldn’t be more aptly named. Found as a stray, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time but she seems to have nothing but faith that better times await, and such an extraordinary dog cannot be wrong! She is playful when invited to play but mellow and happy to snuggle, taking her cues from her human companion. She is delightful around other dogs. She has eyes you could stare into forever they’re so ridiculously beautiful. We hate to pun on intake names but this is one we mean: We have every faith that this is a family dog, just waiting for her family. And now…we hope!

Re Exam 01/20/16

S/O: weight bearing lameness noted in left hind leg. Positive for cranial drawer on palpation. A: cranial cruciate ligament rupture in left stifle; P: start rimadyl 50 mg PO BID x 14; recommend new hope placement and surgery for stabilization of the left stifle joint

Behavior:

Faith walks calmly on leash.  She was a bit shy at first but she warm up quickly to the assessor. Faith was calm and relaxed during handling. Faith had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. She was not interested in toys. Faith did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home.

Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.

Toy 1. No interest.

Playgroup Notes:

Faith allows brief greeting and is uncomfortable when mounted but does not offer correction.

Group Behavior:

When off leash with other dogs, Cinderella is nervous and avoidant of the female greeter.

1/20 update: Cinderella allows brief greeting and is uncomfortable when mounted but does not offer correction.
