01/10/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
01/10/16 09:20 Joliette A1062627 is an older female white & tan AMPBT mix that was found in a park 3 days ago near the finder’s home. They stated Joliette was walked 1-2x a day, she ate dry store brand dog food & slept on linen in the living room. There weren’t any children or other animals in the home. The finder stated Joliette had some difficulty urinating and seem to have some discoloration to her stool. She was also well behaved when left in the home alone. During intake Joliette had a low body posture possibly due to her trying to urinate. When approached she had a wiggly body, she would position her body to be right next to mine and she would lean into my side. Joliette allowed all handling. She sat nicely when asked and allowed to be scanned (-), collared & taken pictures of. Joliette hopped right into the kennel on her own and ate mostly the wet dog food.

01/12/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: WHITE FACES ROCK! Dignity, experience, a calmness pervades the seniors….they’ve “been there, done that”, and now they want to quietly live their lives surrounded by love and warmth. I find Joliette curled up on a soft quilt in her kennel and she lifts her head when I open her door. She’s petite and it’s clear from looking at her that she’s spent her life nursing many litters….giving them love, giving them nutrients from her own body and then doing it again and again and again. I put a coat on Joliette as its cold, but she still shivers as she’s too thin and too tired perhaps. Her leash manners are outstanding and we take a quick walk to the park, stopping to take some pictures. Joliette sits right away when I point the camera at her, tail tucked, shyly waiting. Off leash in the backyard she sits by my side as I take some notes, shows me her ‘sit’ again and takes treats gently. Joliette was found wandering the street and a good Samaritan kept her for three days before bringing her to our care. We’re told she was well behaved when left home alone. Soft, gentle and so in need of a family or person to love her, the love she will return unconditionally is beyond measure. Joliette has earned the right to know what it means to be a pampered pet. Can we make that happen for this very deserving girl?

01/12/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Joliette walks calmly on leash. She was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. Joliette was calm and relaxed during handling. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. She was not interested in toys. Joliette did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Tag: 2. Dog is not 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 her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy 1. No interest.

01/12/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Joliette allows greeting from the other dog. She offers correction for mounting. Based on observation made during playgroup, the behavior department recommends that Joliette may be placed into a home with another calm dog. A pre adoption interaction is encouraged to ensure compatability with a resident dog. Joliette arrived into the care center as a stray so her in home behaviors around dogs are unknown. 1/13: Joliette ignores the other dog and instead seeks to exit the yard. 1/14: Joliette briefly greets then attempts to mount a more nervous, female dog.
