01/29/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Harold: a big name for a shy little boy. He is so cute in his beautiful latte merle coat and his one blue eye has gotten me under his spell. Harold was scared upon arrival and when we first met, was hesitant to come out of his den. He is still timid, keeping his tail under his belly, but he has already made huge progress. Today, he was tail wagging in his den and got leashed easily. He sat for me upon request and took nicely some treats from my hand. He did not go for cover under the bench and even came on my lap for very gentle hugs. He certainly needs some as he is all alone in this big world. Balls can have a very big effect on dogs. I held one in my hand and it immediately caught Harold’s attention. His eyes were bright and his mouth opened up. Now we are talking the same language… the language of play. Harold is happy and runs after the ball, catches it and brings it back toward me. That really made my day! Seeing him running, all relaxed and tail up… a winner!!!! I know that Harold will do better and better as days go by. Still, what this babe really needs is a home sweet home and the love of a human. Harold did quite well on his behavioral evaluation and is ready to jump into your life as your forever best friend….

01/28/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Harold is fearful of the shelter environment he walks with a low and fearful body language. He was shy but friendly during the assessment – low body and tail, but trying to stay close. Harold became a bit fearful while playing tag but unresponsive to the touch. He was easy to handle when chewing on toys. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Harold is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. Harold is nervous and trembling throughout the assessment and has a crouched body posture. The behavior department advises that future adopters should be able to provide positive experiences for Harold. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Harold be given the opportunity to interact at their own pace. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff and fearful; his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, shy body language, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Dog is likely crouching, may have long lip or lip lick. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you. Playgroup Notes: Harold offers brief greeting before keeping to himself in the yard.

01/26/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Harold is polite and comfortable interacting with both male and female dogs. He may lack confidence in social situations, so he is often the target of rude behaviors from other dogs ie mounting or pushy solicitation. He entered the care cetner as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. Based on these observations the behavior department feels that Harold could go to a home with another dog that is calm and respectful; as well as letting him gain confidence and learn play skills. When off leash with other dogs, Harold is nervous but offers a small greeting. He eventually corrects when mounted by another male dog. 1/27: Harold offers brief greeting before keeping to himself in the yard. 1/28 update: Harold greets the other dogs politely, but only engages in play with his littermate. He offers correction when mounted by a male. 1/30 update: Harold is tolerant of a male that is mounting him. He is more interested in exploring his surroundings. 2/2 update: Harold greets well and is comfrotable interacting in a large group of male and female dogs.
