01/02/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes A wee bit shy but super affectionate once she feels safe, it wasn’t until I read her intake notes that I realized just what a wonderful testament our little beauty is to the resilient, forgiving nature of dogkind. Apparently in her past, she spent a decent amount of time living in a small room. And recently, she joins us at the Care Center, and I like to think that day was the first step on her journey to a new life. Eva’s understandably a little wary of strangers but some tasty treats (mouthed softly from my hand) and a nice fluffy change of bedding soon win her over and it’s not long before we’re firm friends and I can indulge my love of giving snuggles and her love of petting (especially butt rubs!) to both our heart’s content. When I hold her close for photos she can’t resist covering my face in a flurry of snuffly kisses and even leash-free in the yard she’ll stop her exploratory sniffing to join me by the bench for more cuddle time. What a privilege it’s been to spend time with Eva! I can’t wait to see her again during my next shift but more than anything, I look forward to the day Eva walks out of my life and into her own, taking her rightful place in the comfortable forever home of her humble doggie dreams.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Limited profile 3/11/17: Spayed female, stray Bite history: Yes, Eva was brought in by police after biting a child in the previous home. The child was bitten on the left forearm leaving two puncture wounds, and was treated at the hospital. Further details, including the age of the child and the trigger for the bite, are not known. Limited profile 8/15/16: Spayed female, stray Previously lived with: Unknown Behavior toward strangers/dogs/cats: Unknown Behavior toward children: Plays roughly, has snapped at a child visitor to the home. Further details are not available Resource guarding: Growls when food, treats, or toys are taken away Bite history: None reported Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: Friendly and affectionate Full profile 1/9/15: Spayed female, owner surrender (with previous family for 7 years) Previously lived with: Adults (3) Behavior toward strangers: Barks, but warms up and becomes playful Behavior toward children: Playful, exuberant Behavior toward dogs: Barks, not playful Behavior toward cats: Unknown Resource guarding: Growls if food bowl is touched while eating Bite history: None reported Housetrained: Partially; has accidents a few times a week. Not crate trained. Energy level/descriptors: Eva is described as playful, affectionate, shy, excitable, and friendly. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 8/18/16 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans in and accepts the touch, lip lick, lip long, tail wag Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, focused on exit Squeeze 1: 3. Dog head flips Flank squeeze 1 / 2: 2 leans in, lip lick Toy 1. No interest. Dog – dog 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip long Summary: She was difficult to remove from her kennel for SAFER assessment, growling but would soften once the kennel door was opened, she was receptive to treats and walks on leash. Once in the room, Eva warmed up considerably but was still uncomfortable with collaring, needed to be distracted. She was tolerant of all tactile portions of the assessment, though still a bit uncomfortable.

PLAYGROUP: 8/18/16 When introduced off leash to another dog in the care center, Eva is initially unsure of interaction. When solicited with play, she bounces away and offers correction when uncomfortable. With continued solicitation, she opens up and begins to engage fully in play. Eva arrived into our care as a stray, so there is no is no available history of previous interaction with other dogs, and it is unknown how his/her behavior will translate into a home setting. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 3/10/17 During her most recent veterinary examination, Eva was nervous, started to bark, and snapped at the muzzle and leash used for restraint. IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: 3/22/17 During her first few days in the care center, Eva was demand barking and snapping at the leash. She has since calmed considerably and her on-leash behavior and tolerance with her caretakers have improved steadily. She is soft and wiggly when her name is called, but she is generally aloof and does not solicit handler attention when out on walks. See Enrichment entries for more details. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to Eva’s history of snapping at and biting a child, we strongly recommend an adult-only home for her. _X_Place with a New Hope partner Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Eva is reported to growl over food and toy resources. It is important to leave Eva alone while she is eating and to never take anything directly from her mouth. When she is asked to drop something she should be traded for an item of equal or higher value, in order to reward Eva for relinquishing the item she has. _X_Leash-biting: During her first days in the care center, Eva snapped at the leash. This behavior has extinguished as the enrichment team has worked with her. We cannot be certain whether this behavior might be seen again when she moves to a new environment.

A volunteer writes:  Friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, well behaved and well trained…how is it possible this much perfection comes in one sweet brindlicious package?!! Eva is THE pet your family has been longing for and she arrived at our doorstep with some of the best owner notes I’ve ever seen. She’s lived in relaxed tolerance with babies, toddlers and another female dog who not only guarded her food (Eva would cower and wait her turn) but also got into the garbage (Eva didn’t participate) and she’s extremely well behaved on leash or off, loves little dogs and…wait for it…when she meets a cat in the street she’ll just sniff them politely and mosey on her way! Happy to share her toys, treats and food, eager to be brushed, to run, play fetch, swim or snuggle with her beloved family (she actually slept with her owner), Eva is the quintessential Good Dog every pet parent would love to claim and I simply can’t say a bad word about her. We’re told she was crate trained as a puppy but no longer needs to be and stays calm when left alone in her fenced yard too and I can certainly attest to her superior house training skills as ‘business’ was conducted promptly the minute we stepped outside! Eva knows commands for sit, stay and give paw and nuzzles her reward treats from my hand with the softest touch and she’s so patient as I hug and kiss her for the camera. Having aced her behavior assessment (of course!) Eva the Great would fit into a family of any size or shape with good humored ease. She’s already spayed and keen to head for home as soon as possible so don’t delay, bring your pack in for a meet’n’greet today and get ready to fall in love!
