08/16/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Coconut looks so silly, when he smiles his ears point in different directions, it’s so cute he makes me giggle… Coconut was found abandoned and brought to the Care Center. Coconut is easy in and out of his kennel and loved being in the yard running and chasing a ball. Coconut proudly showed me he can sit for a treat. Coconut has a lot of energy and would make a great companion for an active household. If you’re interested in adopting Coconut, please come to the Care Center and meet him.

8/09/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Coconut came into our center on 8/2/2016. He was friendly upon intake, allowed all handling. Coconut pulled slightly on leash for his relief walk. He displayed high energy and movement, jumped up hard on assessor upon entering SAFER assessment area, paw slapping. Coconut allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, eyes averted. He leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, tail wagging, open mouth. He was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game, became playful towards end of item, jumping up on assessor. Coconut did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, sniffed hand on first attempt, mouthed hand with no pressure on second Squeeze. He kept a firm grip on Toy, loose body. Coconut investigated helper dog and then turned away. The Behavior Team feels Coconut would do best with an Experienced adopter. He will benefit from obedience classes to learn body awareness in regards to mouthing and jumping. Any children should have an in depth interaction due to his energy level and hard jumping. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, playful at end of game, jumps up on assessor Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not pull back paw, sniffs hand Squeeze 2: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Toy 1: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip, body loose Dog-dog: 2.

08/22/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Coconut is forward and pushy when greeting an older female but reponds well when she offers him a correction. 8/22 update Coconut continues to be very playful and tolerant of an extremely rowdy, mouthy and rambunctious female. 8/25 update Coconut appears to have become less tolerant of a rowdy female. He avoids any interactions with her and often corrects when she becomes very mouthy and pushy. However, with a different female, Coconut was very playful, tolerant and respectful. 8/29 update Coconut engaged in running bouncy play with a social female. He does attempt to mount at times but will respond when corrected. Coconut also enjoys playing in the doggy pool. 9/1 update Coconut engaged in brief play with a social female. He often explores the yard and can get fixated on mounting at times. 9/6 update Coconut was polite and relaxed when greeted by a social male. He did not engage in play at first due to him being fixated on mounting a female but after a short while, Coconut engaged in running play with male and female dogs. 9/12- 9/13 update Coconut continues to be social. He engaged in brief running play but mostly was fixated on mounting. He is tolerant of a pushy female.
