04/14/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
04/14/16 16:57 BASIC INFO Coop is a 7 month old APBT mix. His family got him as a gift from a friend 2 months ago and surrendered him due to personal problems. He was healthy but was attacked and injured by a large, adult male dog. SOCIALIZATION Coop is friendly/outgoing with new people. He lived with 4 children from 0-12 years old. He’s relaxed, playful, and tolerant with them. He played super gently with children (mostly sat or lied down next to them and sniffed them while they pet and touched him) but somewhat rough with adults (jumping up on them). He’s never bit a person. He lived with a large adult male dog. They had been relaxed and playful and played somewhat rough together. One day, the other dog bit Coop, leaving a large puncture in his neck (requiring a drain and sutures), and lacerations on his legs and neck. Coop inflicted minor lacerations on his ears and neck. The family thinks the older dog must have started the fight but weren’t there and aren’t certain. BEHAVIOR Coop doesn’t mind when someone takes his food/treat/toy, moves him off furniture, holds/restrains him, or wakes him up. He plays during baths and nail trims. He’s friendly with strangers who approach his home/family. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Coop’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and high energy. He follows his family around and likes to play chase. He lived inside and slept in the living room. He ate dry dog food. He’s housetrained, pottied in grass and dirt, and didn’t have accidents inside. He sits when asked. He went for slow and brisk walks and pulled on his leash. INTAKE Coop has been friendly and energetic and has allowed handling at ACC.

04/14/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
According to the owner Coop has lived with 4 children from the ages of 0 to 12, and is relaxed, playful and tolerant when around them. The owner stated that Coop mostly sat or would lie down next to them while they pet him, and would play more roughly with adults. Coop lived with a larger dog in the home and it was recorded that both dogs would play roughly with each other. Unfortunately, both dogs did get into an altercation and the owner believes the older dog started but they are not certain as they were not there. The fight required Coop to get a drain and sutures with lacerations on his legs and neck. Coop only inflicted minor lacerations on the other dog’s neck and ears. The owner stated that Coop is very friendly with strangers and does not mind if someone tries to take away his food, toy or treats from him. Coop walks calmly on leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, wagging tail, jumping on the assessor. Coop was excited (mouthing lightly) during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He engaged in play, body is loose and wiggly, mouth open. Coop was easy to handle when chewing on toys. He approached other dog with friendly body language. Coop did not show any concern during the behavior assessment but he did show some possible guarding issues in his kennel. Coop was guarding a rawhide in his kennel and was growling when a staff member attempted to take him out. Another staff member traded with Coop and was able to remove Coop from his kennel without any further issues. Coop may require positive reinforcement behavior modification to address this possible guarding behavior. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog repeatedly turns toward the Assessor’s hand, with loose body and open mouth, mouths the hand, but does not apply pressure. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you. Dog-dog: 1. Dog approaches the helper dog in play position. His mouth is open.
04/09/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Coop greets other dogs with a loose body and wagging tail, but due to his history he is muzzled for the interaction. He engages in typical puppy play, although he is frequently distracted by his muzzle and will cease engaging until solicited again.The behavior department recommends slow, positive introductions and additional solicialization/follow up to ensure that Coop remains comfortable around other dogs, as he arrived into our care citing an incident with a resident dog.
