03/08/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Dorito the dog is twice as tasty as his corn chip namesake and whether you’re looking for a pet who’s zesty, cool, cheesy or sweet, this cute little guy has got you covered! An anxious young adult with the innocent curiosity of a puppy, Dorito hates being stuck in his den and I’ll always find him waiting and whining for his chance to go for a walk. He just can’t get enough of the great outdoors and does pull quite strongly in his enthusiasm at first but a quick switch to a harness leash and we’re trotting nicely down the street in no time. He loves to sniff and explores every last nook and cranny along the way, occasionally marking one as his own and taking care of his remaining business promptly too. Free in the yard Dorito wanders about investigating but he comes when called for some butt rubs and a few stolen kisses and when other dogs approach he’s very keen to see them, happily wagging his tail and whining to play through the fence. Always on the go, keen for adventure and ready to make new friends, though I hesitate to call him a high energy dog, unlike his namesake you’ll find that spending time with this Dorito actually helps you burn calories! Now that he’s rocked his behavior assessment Dorito is ready to be adopted into almost any active, attentive family and with his good heart and great looks, I hope he won’t be waiting too long.

03/22/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
3/22 update: Dorito appears to be showing signs of behavioral deterioration and distress, likely as a result of his long stay in the kennel environment. While he remains human-social outside the kennel, he has begun biting at the leash and may redirect onto human hands. He has not broken skin. He has also begun elevator jumping in his kennel. We feel it is in Dorito’s best interest to move into a stable home environment as quickly as possible, where he can be provided with the mental and physical stimulation and exercise he needs. 3/2 SAFER: Dorito pulls a bit on the leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Dorito was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He was not interested in toys. Dorito did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Playgroup Notes: Dorito greets politely. He becomes anxious with prolonged yard time and seeks to exit.

02/29/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Dorito greets female dogs politely. He has engaged in bouts of soft play with other playful dogs. He has briefly attempted to mount but responds well to correction from other dogs. When greeting a male dog through a barrier, Dorito became stiff and begun to growl. The behavior department recommends that Dorito may be placed into a home with a social, respectful female dog. A pre-adoption interaction is encouraged to ensure compatability with a resident dog. At this time, we advise against placement with another male dog until Dorito’s comfort level around them can be followed up on. He arrived into our care as a stray, so in-home behaviors with dogs are not known. When off leash with other dogs, Dorito greets politely. He shows continued interest in approaching and sniffing with soft body language. 3/1 update: Dorito greets politely. He becomes anxious with prolonged yard time and seeks to exit. 3/2 update: Dorito engages in bouncy play with the intent to mount. 3/3 update: Dorito engages in bouts of soft play with female dogs. When greeting a male dog through the fence, Dorito stiffens, grows, and hard barks at the gate. 3/8 update: Dorito briefly greets and sniffs a female dog. 3/9 update: Dorito greets politely. He becomes persistantly sexually motivated with time out in the yard with a female. 3/10 update: Dorito interacts politely before solely attempting to mount the helper dog. 3/11 update: Dorito immediately attempts to mount as soon as he enters the pen and ignores any solicitation from the female. 3/13 update: Dorito is persistantly sexually motivated when introduced to a female dog. He does not slow down when corrected by the other dog. 3/15 update: Dorito engages in a bit of play, but becomes reactive in response to a male dog in the next pen, and is difficult to distract. 3/16, 3/17 update: Dorito is highly anxious and is persistant with mounting, difficult to interrupt.
