09/07/2017 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes: I can’t help but hum this Fleetwood Mac song and sing the lyrics whenever I see this beautiful girl. “And it all comes down to you. Well, you know that it does. Lightning strikes maybe once, maybe twice and it lights up the night. And you see you’re a gypsy. To the gypsy that remains. Her face says freedom, with a little fear. I have no fear. I have only love.”

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 9/4/17: During her medical examination, Gypsy was shy, nervous with her tail tucked. She allowed most handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Gypsy so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: The behavior department recommends allowing Gypsy to approach her potential new adopters at her own pace. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Gypsy to new and unfamiliar situations.
