01/18/2017 WEB MEMO

A volunteer writes: Harriet has a tongue worthy of it’s own Instagram account!  Really!  It’s like it has a mind of it’s own.  I can imagine pictures of Harriet (and her tongue) in front of the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower or even the Taj Mahal!  It might even steal the show. Ha! Harriet is missing one of her teeth, hence the constantly protruding tongue—and it is adorable.  Harriet’s tongue isn’t her only asset.  She is super sweet, walks nicely on the leash and seems very housetrained.  Her personality is soft and wiggly, and she’s eager to make friends with staff and volunteers. Harriet knows some basic commands, but she could use some more training.  Given her food motivation, that won’t be hard at all.  I know you’ve started to think of all the places you can picture her posing with that tongue.  Not only will you gain a new friend in Harriet, but you’ll have a million “followers” in no time!  Ask to meet her today!

KNOWN HISTORY: N/A Unaltered female, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT:1/10/17 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Flank squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Harriet was sweet and relaxed throughout the assessment, she displayed no concerns. PLAYGROUP: Harriet was brought in as a stray so her past behavior around other dogs is unknown. When off leash at the Care Center, Harriet lunges and barks at the helper dog when he approaches the gate. Her arousal increases as he backs away, and she continues to bark and lunge as he is moved to the adjacent pen. Due to the extreme weather and her behavior, Harriet was not introduced further utilizing a muzzle for safety today. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/7/17 Harriet was very energetic and active, pulling on the handler, tolerated handling and petting. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _x_Single-dog home, recommend no dog parks (Harriet’s body language –lunging and barking at the other dog- indicates that she is uncomfortable around other dogs and does not wish to interact. The Behavior Department recommends that Harriet be placed in a home with no other dogs until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed once Harriet has adequate time to decompress from the shelter environment. The Behavior Department recommends reward-based, force-free training only to desensitize and counter-condition Harriet using toys or treats to help Harriet associate other dogs with positive experiences.)
