08/22/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/22/16 09:59 BASIC INFO King Pup is a 3 year old male APBT mix. His family got him as a puppy from previous owners and is moving and doesn’t have time to care for him. King has alopecia, ear infections, and very long nails. SOCIALIZATION King is friendly/outgoing with new people. He has met some new people but hasn’t spent a lot of time with strangers. He plays exuberantly with adults. He hasn’t spent time with children. He ignores dogs outside. He hasn’t bit anyone. BEHAVIOR King doesn’t mind storms. He doesn’t mind when someone takes his food bowl. When someone tries to take his toy, he holds on to it, and his owner thinks he’s being playful (loose bodied, wagging tail). When someone asked him to get off furniture, he would just look at them (not stare), wouldn’t move, and would tolerant being pushed off. He doesn’t mind being woken up or bathed. His owner reports that he doesn’t mind being held/restrained. King growled and tried to bite the vet when he restrained him for ear cleaning, but his owner reports that he allowed restraint and began reacting only once his sensitive ears were touched. King is friendly/outgoing with strangers who approach his home/family. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW King’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, and medium-high energy. He follows his family. He plays tug and chase and likes chew toys. He lived inside and was usually kept by himself in his own room. He ate dry Blue Buffalo food. He’s housetrained, potties anywhere outside, and doesn’t have accidents. He’s well-behaved while home alone. He went for slow walks and doesn’t pull on his leash. INTAKE King approached me with a soft body and soft wagging tail, mouth sometimes open. He took treats gently from me and allowed light petting. He jumped up on me and his nail got caught in my pants. He yelped until he was able to pull his paw away. He gently put his mouth on my hand while I started to collar him; his body was still soft with a wagging tail and his owner thinks he was playing. His owner collared and scanned him (-), and he remained soft. He sometimes looked at and barked at me (high-pitched), possibly soliciting treats. He sat and watched the door where his owner left. He became tense and a little low-bodied meeting new staff in the rest of the shelter, his hackles beginning to raise. He sat and wagged his tail during pictures. His eyes appeared red.
