A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: Epiphany is hoping that any minute now you’ll have a revelation and realize she’s the pet for you. I mean, c’mon, just look at that sweet face! Age is no barrier to love and though she’s 11 years old, our frosted beauty still has plenty of personality and even a little playfulness tucked away for the happy day she leaves for her new home. Epiphany welcomes visitors with tail wags and she’s never anything but soft and affectionate, greeting people and pups politely and allowing all handling fuss-free. She’s slow moving on leash as her paws are still healing but can take the stairs up and down with ease and in playgroup she’ll even bounce around with the younger dogs, though she’s not above scolding them if they get too rough! Epiphany earned a stellar behavior rating, seems quite house trained and is still very much ‘with it upstairs’ (as my Mom would say) and would be such an easy pet to welcome into your life. She’s making the best of things here at the Care Center but in her heart Epiphany knows that a forever home is the real golden ticket to living out her dreams of a joyful, comfortable retirement. Will you be the one to make those dreams come true?

Details on my behavior are…

Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. 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 stands with tail low and wagging, and comes toward the Assessor in a friendly manner when the Assessor ceases moving.
