02/11/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/11/16 19:42 BASIC INFO Cinnamon is a 4 year old APBT mix. Her previous family had left her in their apt when they moved out 3 years ago. At the time, she had little fur. Her family had to surrender her due to personal issues and cost. Cinnamon has been vomiting regularly for the past 2 weeks (currently every other day). She went to a vet 1.5 weeks ago who thought she had inflamed intestines, and recommended a bland diet or her dog food with rice. SOCIALIZATION Cinnamon is friendly/outgoing with new people. She lived with 3 children ages 0-15 and her best friend and primary caretaker is a 10 year old boy. She’s relaxed, playful, and tolerant with children. She plays exuberantly with people. She had play dates with a small female dog and was relaxed, playful, and tolerant with her. She’s respectful of other dogs on walks. She’ll pass and ignore them. If they approach, she’s relaxed and sniffs them. If they growl, she growls back. She’s never bit anyone. BEHAVIOR Cinnamon picks up food off the ground on walks. She doesn’t mind storms. She’s friendly with strangers who approach her home/family. She doesn’t mind when someone takes her food/treat/toy, moves her off furniture, holds/restrains her, wakes her up, bathes her, or brushes her. She had her nails trimmed at the vet. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Cinnamon’s family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, and medium energy (though she’s been low energy since being sick). She follows them around. She uses her head to pick up their hands to encourage them to pet her. Cinnamon plays chase and plays fetch with balls. She lived inside and slept with her 10 year old human best friend. She ate Natural Choice dry and wet food. She enjoys any people food. She’s housetrained, doesn’t have accidents, and potties anywhere outside. She can hold it for up to 10 hours. She knows sit and give paw. She goes for slow walks with her best friend and doesn’t pull him on the leash. He sometimes walks her off-leash and she wanders but comes back when called. INTAKE Cinnamon approached me with soft body and eyes and maintained this while I pet her, scanned her (+), collared her, and positioned her for pictures. She sat when asked and took treats gently. She drank water we gave her. She sat next to me, leaning into my lap very gently while I pet her. She sat next to me quietly while I worked at the computer. She walked nicely with us on her leash.

02/14/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Another volunteer sums it all up: “The Perfect Dog !!!” Of course each of us has his/her own definition of the perfect pet but Cinnamon is really very special, a low key, gentle, well mannered and sweet little bun that must be a blessing to be welcome by at the end of a very busy day… The cherry on top is that Cinnamon is a tiny gal and is as pretty as can be…She was surrendered to our facility as her owners could not afford the costs for her care. Cinnamon, indeed had some digestive troubles requiring a special diet and probably more veterinary work up. She seems to be doing well at the care center, although she is quite thin and rather quiet. Cinnamon comes with beautiful comments ..She does really sound like the perfect family dog…She lived happily with a few children, had playdates with a little dog, was well behaved on all counts, gave paw and appears to be house trained..A keeper….I fell in love the moment I saw her curled up on her bed, so tiny and vulnerable looking. She came right away at the call of her name. A shy girl..She was shaking and the bitter cold was not helping. She walked beautifully on the leash and met other pooches in the street without issue. She did her business and back inside we were, cuddling in the staircase, sheltered from the weather and the noise. What a tender soul she is….In the one playgroup she was in, Cinnamon was uncomfortable which does not mean of course that she does not like other dogs. Cinnamon is a lovely and tiny gal, sociable, affectionate and well mannered. She was a beloved family dog and could be once again holding the same title if you give her a chance… Cinnamon will need follow up medical care but she is really all worth it. Come and meet her soon. Cinnamon is dreaming to be loved again…

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs Cinnamon is uncomfortable, only allowing a brief sniff from the helper dog before walking away. When she is approached again she growls when the greeting lingers. Her owner reports she had play dates with a small female dog and was relaxed, playful, and tolerant with her. She’s respectful of other dogs on walks, ignoring them. If they approach, she’s relaxed and sniffs them. If they growl, she growls back.
