A Little Bit About Me…

A staff member writes: Enchilada was found as a stray and brought to ACC when the finder had no luck finding her owner. Enchilada is a sweet girl that will need follow up medical care (please see medical below)

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment:  15-Feb-2018

Look:  1. Dog’s eyes are averted, ears are back, tail is down, relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:  1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag:  1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:  2. Dog quickly pulls back.
Paw squeeze 2:  2. Dog quickly pull back.
Toy:  1. No interest.

Summary:  Enchilada approached the assessor in the assessment room with a soft body. She was social, allowed all handling, and displayed no concerning behaviors.

Summary (1):  2/15: When introduced off leash to dogs, Enchilada keeps mostly to herself.
Summary (2):  2/16: Enchilada keeps mostly to herself.

Date of initial:  13-Feb-2018
Summary:  Enchilada allowed most handling but growled when her rear end was handled.

ENERGY LEVEL:  We have no history on Enchilada so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a medium level of activity.
