01/30/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Do you love dogs? Dippin Dots does and he’s so excited to see them you’ll be going along for the ride! Nothing gets his tail wagging like meeting new four-legged friends and he whines to play with pups of all shapes and sizes on our walk, pulling strongly to be closer to them. When other dogs aren’t around he’s pretty good on leash and always takes care of his business outside and of course, Dippin likes his human friends too and enjoys petting, treat time and short games with toys. He’s blessed with stunning good looks but doesn’t court my camera so you’ll just have to trust me when I say this guy has the look of a doggie supermodel, gorgeous with a capital G! A new home where he’ll have another dog to fill his days with fun would be Dippin’s dream come true and no doubt help to combat some of the anxiety he’s feeling at the moment. If your pack is missing a handsome clown then come on down and ask for Dippin Dots, he may not be the ‘ice cream of the future’ but he might just be your future BFF.

Summary: Dippin Dots was social when he first entered the assessment room. He became fearful at the end of tag and began avoiding the assessor, whining and keeping distance for the rest of the assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Tolerant: These dogs are typically non-reactive on leash and will be either friendly or indifferent off leash. They can typically tolerate some rude behavior from other dogs and can be described as having a long fuse. They show relaxed, appropriate, easy-going body language around others. PLAYGROUP: When off leash with male dogs Dippin Dots engages in bouncy, running play offering play bows to solicit. He is tolerant of mounting as well as status seeking behavior from another male. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/27/17 During his initial medical exam, Dippin Dots was active and social. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Dippin Dots so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
