07/21/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Diamond is an incredibly beautiful doe-eyed girl that can be very timid. She was with her previous family since she was a mere two weeks old, and is said to be very shy and fearful with new people. She cries and hides when there are loud noises (including, but not limited to fireworks, thunder, and trucks). She hasn’t been around cats or children, but we’re told she is relaxed and playful with other dogs. She hid under her owner when she was being surrendered, but has really warmed up to the new people she’s met in this strange place, but is still very fearful outside. She is very wiggly and bouncy in her cage, but her demeanor changes the closer we get to outside. I usually have to do some serious coaxing to get her into one of the pens and once I do she almost immediately tries to jump out — like she’s on a trampoline! She can be distracted by toys — she LOVES them and will briefly play fetch with me or cock her head at a squeaky toy until her nerves get in the way. She seems housebroken, takes treats nicely, and will even graciously lick my face…so, so sweet! When I bring her back to the safety of her cage she goes to town playing with the extra toys provided to her and makes soft eye contact as if to say “party’s in here!!” and invite me in to join her. Diamond will need someone patient to help build her confidence (and learn that the party can be outside too!), but she is more than worth it! She is very gentle, playful, loving and still very puppylike….come meet her today!

07/13/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Diamond previously lived with 3 adults and has not been around children. The owner stated Diamond is fearful and shy around strangers. The owner mentioned Diamond is fearful when she hears loud noises, she will cry and hide. It was reported by the owner Diamond is house trained, crate trained and does well for several hours with a medium activity level. At intake it was reported Diamond was shy and fearful, she did allow all handling with a slow approach. During SAFER Diamond came into the assessment room shy and fearful, she was friendly and social towards the assessor with a slow approach. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Diamond was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Diamond was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Diamond has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Diamond is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Diamond be given the opportunity to interact at her own pace. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is a bit tense and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is between her legs, body a bit tense with her mouth closed. Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Dog is crouching with her mouth closed. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog smells, then turns away. Dog-dog: Diamond displays loose and wiggly body language in a group of male and female dogs. She solicits and engages in gentle play.

07/11/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Diamond’s previous owner reported that she is relaxed and playful around other dogs. When off leash at the Care Center, Diamond was initially nervous but became more relaxed as the play session continued. With further play group sessions, Diamond is able to solicit and engage in gentle play with male and female dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that Diamond be placed in a home with a dog that matches her gentle play style. 7/11: Diamond at first is nervous, with a tense body and face. She eventually loosens up and offers first, a single play bow. Then after a little more time she does engage in very brief, bouncy chase play. 7/12: Diamond displays loose and wiggly body language in a group of male and female dogs. She solicits and engages in gentle play. 7/15-19:Diamond greets the other dog at the gate with a soft body and face. When she enters the pen, she tucks her tail and becomes anxious. She placed herself in a corner and attempted to escape by jumping on the gates. She ignored human interruptions. 7/23: Diamond is able to engage is a short burst of gentle play in a group of male and female dogs. As the session continues she becomes anxious and whines at the gate to leave. 7/24- 7/25: Diamond solicited and engaged in running chase play with another female dog today. She remained engaged in the interaction longer than any previous play session and her anxiety level seems to have diminished. She did not whine or jump up at the gate until the very end of her time outside.
