A volunteer writes:
Egypt may not be Queen of the Nile but she’s definitely the Queen of all our hearts here at at Care Center, a wonderfully huggable girl with the softest, sweetest face and a stellar temperament to match. Easy-going but a little shy at first, Egypt enjoys walks, toys, fetch, petting and the company of other pups but if you want to see her golden eyes really light up then bring on the treats! At first she’ll wait politely, even sitting on command, but when I take too long to hand over the goods Egypt literally steps up her game by standing her front paws on my lap and giving me her best ‘why are those treats not in my mouth?’ face until I relent. Oh, you! She’s a dream to handle, walks well on leash, takes care of business promptly and of course she meets other dogs very politely so I wasn’t surprised to find she passed her behavior assessment with absolutely perfect scores across the board. Independent yet affectionate, Egypt is everything you’d want in a family dog and she’s ready and waiting to make your family complete!
BEHAVIOR :
SAFER ASSESSMENT:
Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed.
Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft.
Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds.
Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds.
Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy.
Summary: Egypt displayed no concerning behaviors on her assessment.
DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT:
Summary
PLAYGROUP:
9/1: When introduced off leash to a male greeter dog, Egypt greets politely with wagging tail then wanders the pen.
9/2: Egypt greets politely and wanders the pen.
9/3: Egypt is polite and soft when greeting male and female dogs.  She shows brief interest in gently play.
INTAKE BEHAVIOR:
Upon intake, Egypt was tense but allowed handling.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During her initial medical exam, Egypt was calm and allowed all handling.
ENERGY LEVEL:
We have no history on Egypt so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a medium level of activity.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
