08/07/2016 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes: Albeit nervous upon entering our shelter environment (understandably so), Jaguar was a “Nervous Nelly” who had a sad puppy look in her eyes. In her kennel, Jaguar sits on her bed, looking up, wondering what’s going to happen next. When I show her a treat, Jaguar looks curiously, then stretches out to sniff it. She gently takes it, and snacks on it like someone with popcorn at the movies. Jaguar looked at me with those eyes again, so I had to take her out. Jaguar consistently looked up, checking in with me on our walk with weary body language. I later showed her a treat, and I saw a completely different Jaguar. Without cueing her, she sat politely for me looking right in my eyes with a soft gaze. The look in her eyes changed from “sad puppy” to “let’s have fun and do some training exercise”. I was smitten by sweet Jaguar. The cherry on top is, she again gently took the treat from my hand! I knew right then she just needed some time out of her kennel to open up. The brief time I had with her showed me that she just needs someone who’s willing to be patient with her, someone she can trust, and someone who can trust her back. I think in the perfect home environment, she will be a great companion. Unfortunately, the time came when I had to give other dogs like Jaguar a chance to come out of their kennel. Going back into her kennel, Jaguar gave those “sad puppy eyes” again, wondering when she’d go out again. Since then, I think the same thing, wondering when is the next time I’ll be walking Jaguar again.

08/10/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jaguar has improved during her time here at the center, over the past several days she has warmed up to several staff members and allows petting and handling all over. She allowed collaring and is very treat motivated, knows the cues sit and down. When comfortable, Jaguar is friendly, play bows, wiggly, affectionate, will lay her head in staff’s lap. Jaguar would do best with a slow approach/slow introduction, with treats. She would benefit from the opportunity to warm up at her own pace with less focus on her neck area, perhaps with a harness. It should be noted when comfortable Jaguar does allow handling around her collar and neck, but after some fumbling to tighten collar becomes uncomfortable and jumps away. Jaguar has shown potential but will require more time to warm up and acclimate to her new environment. 8/6/2016 Safer Assessment Jaguar was stiff and did not show social behavior. She tries to avoids any interaction in the care center . Jaguar had a hunched body, lowered head, flattened ears and tucked tail. When the handler tried to collar her she was giving a direct stare and her lips was pulled over her teeth. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Jaguar was not interested in toys. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Playgroup Notes: Jaguar is fearful in the yard but when she approaches the gate she relaxes and begins to softly wag her tail. However, when attempting to collar her, she head flips and snaps at the handler; she is not introduced off-leash at this time.

08/04/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Jaguar arrived into the care center as a stray, so her history around other dogs is currently unknown. Jaguar has displayed interest in play and interaction with a greeter dog, offering correction in response to sexually motivated behavior. The behavior team feels that Jaguar should require a preliminary interaction and slow introductions to any resident dogs in a potential future home. 8/4: Jaguar is fearful in the yard but when she approaches the gate she relaxes and begins to softly wag her tail. However, when attempting to collar her, she head flips and snaps at the handler; she is not introduced off-leash at this time. 8/7: When off leash with other dogs, Jaguar engages in bouts of play with the male greeter. She offers strong correction for sexually motivated behavior. The behavior team recommends a pre-adoption interaction for Jaguar before immediate placement with any resident dog.
