A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes:    Jackie joined us with a large wound to his back leg, requiring immediate care to clean and suture it.   He’s quiet in his kennel, and as I opened his door his tail wagged a hello. Stepping out carefully we’re out the door and Jackie’s first priority is going potty.   We don’t walk far as I don’t want to hurt his leg so we spent time petting, enjoying treats and sweet talk.   As gentle as a lamb describes Jackie at this point during which must be such an uncomfortable and confusing time.   Medical staff tells me what a nice dog he’s been during treatments and he certainly is.  “Sweet and friendly” is how they’ve described him and I’d say that fits him perfectly.   He’s also a bit underweight, and despite that took my offered treats so gently.  Like people, dogs recuperate and heal more quickly in a home environment and we’d love for Jackie to find his healing place quickly.   He’s a sweetheart who responds so well to love, and is ready to share it with his new person.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Paw squeeze 2:  2. Dog quickly pull back.

Toy:  1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.

Summary:  Jackie approached the assessor in the assessment room with a soft body. He jumped up on the assessor a few times in a social manner. He allowed all handling and displayed no concerning behavior.

Date of initial: 20-Dec-2017
Summary: Jackie was social and allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Jackie so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:  Jackie has displayed highly social behavior throughout his stay. He displays loose wiggly body despite his injuries and wants to greet new people. He enjoys petting and shows no behavioral signs of being in pain. He is a highly social and energetic dog.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar
H – Healthy
Potential challenges:
Basic manners/poor impulse control
Potential challenges comments:

Basic manners/poor impulse control: Jackie jumps up on people in a social, exuberant manner. It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended.
