When there loud noise or fireworks she isn’t bothered by the noise. She isn’t bothered when touching her food or toys when she’s chewing on them. She will get a little stiff when touching her bones. She isn’t bothered when being in the bath or being brushed afterwards. She isn’t bothered when someone approaches a family member but may bark when someone comes to the home.

At night she sleeps in her bed in living room or with the kids. On her walks she goes potty on the dirt and grass. She is crate trained and does well inside for about 4 or 5 hours. For commands she knows, sit, come here, down, shake, relax and get in her cage. She pulls very hard on the leash and is never off the leash. Behavior During Intake: Eve had a stiff body but mouth open, she was moving left to right while I was asking the owner what was going on. She allowed petting and almost jumped up a little on me.

A volunteer writes: This is a story about ears. Gorgeous ears reaching to the sky placed atop of a beautiful face on a dog named Eve. Eve means ‘source of life’, and our Eve is now with us as the source of her life has been turned upside down when her family lost their home. Other than needing a mani/pedi, she’s been gorgeously taken care of, her cocoa coat clean and groomed, her figure perfect, and her manners impeccable. We’re told she lived affectionately and exuberantly with children ages 9+, is playful with large breed dogs and tolerant of small ones, doesn’t guard her things, but cherishes her bone above all else, loves to play tug, slept with the kids, is housetrained, crate trained for 4-5 hours, and knows ‘sit’, ‘come here’, ‘down’, ‘shake’, ‘relax’ and ‘get in your crate’. Ignoring other dogs we pass, Eve showed off her housetraining skills and her lovely leash manners as we walked to the park. Although we just met and she’s a bit shy in this strange new environment, she showed off her sit, took treats super gently and gave me some soft kisses as a thank you. As of this writing, Eve is finding her balance without her family, but as I kissed her good when putting her back into her kennel, I promised her that with her wonderful resume as a family a dog, a new person or family will find her soon. Please help us make our wish for her come true. A volunteer updates: Our fabulous family girl has gotten into the rhythm of ACC and waits patiently for her walk, so happy to see a human with a leash. Her tail wags and her eyes sparkle. Having lost her family, the kids she slept with and everything she held dear, she’s adjusting as well as can be expected. Eve showed off her sit, took treats gently, wagged her tail as we chatted and shared some kisses with me. I straighten my clothes and walk a little taller when I’m with this gorgeous girl, as all eyes are on us as we walk down the street. Yes, she’s that gorgeous, and her sweet personality shines through. It’s all about Eve, and the new family she needs to spend her forever with.

Bite history: Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: Confident, playful, affectionate, and excitable with a high activity level. Other notes: Eve is anxious when left alone. She is crate trained. Eve pulls very hard on leash. SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 9/15/2017 Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted, her tail is low and not moving, lip lick. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, body a bit tense, mouth closed, , lip lick. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, does not follow at the end of leash. She is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor (other handler). Does not readily approach at end of game. Squeeze 1 / 2: 2. Dog does not pull back paw, lip lick, stress panting Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog sniffs, does not fully engage. This may be due to environment as owner reports Eve loves to play tug and chew on rope toys. Summary: Eve appeared anxious and will seek comfort from handlers, showed good coping skills when uncomfortable. PLAYGROUP: The previous owner of Eve cites that she has displayed playful and tolerant behavior around dogs that she has met in the past. Eve has been fearful during interaction with dogs in the care center. The behavior department recommends allowing Eve a period of decompression before immediate introductions to dogs. Future introductions should be conducted at a slow pace to respectful dogs. INTAKE BEHAVIOR: Date of intake 9/13/2017 Eve was tense during intake, pacing. She was reluctant to go into kennel. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 9/13/2017 During her initial medical exam, Eve was timid but allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: Owner reports Eve has a high activity level. In the care center, Eve displays a medium level of energy but this may be due to stressful environment. She will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend daily walks, runs, exercise, and play. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially in the behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5)- Eve seems a bit uncomfortable with quick movements and may be most comfortable in a home without very young children. Dog savvy older children may be considered pending an in-depth interaction. She otherwise shows good coping skills. We recommend adopters prepared to go slow with Eve and allow her to warm up to her new home and new family at her own pace. Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding – Eve was observed growling and showing teeth while standing over her food in kennel. We recommend that Eve be left alone while eating and only give quick bite treats instead of longer lasting chews/bones. She should be taught the cue “drop” and trade up games. _X_Anxiety – Owner reports Eve is anxious when left alone. This matches what we have seen in the care center, as Eve whined in the assesment room and paced upon intake, at times lightly jumping onto handler to seek comfort. Eve may do best with a structured routine, so she can learn what to expect and decrease any uncertainty in her new home. She should be spoken to softly and gently. _X_Strength/leash pulling- Owner reports Eve pulls very hard on leash. She is a large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. Her adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that Eve be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish her strength through leverage, and that she be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
