10/18/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: At only a little over a year old, Kurry is still a puppy, with all the typical happy puppy characteristics–LOVES toys, LOVES to play, LOVES treats, and LOVES licking your face (and maybe giving a few little ear nibbles). Kurry is an absolute snuggle bug who tried to climb into laps, give lots of kisses, and play with anything he thinks could be a toy (plastic bags, his own reflection in a car, pigeons, you name it). Like most young dogs, Kurry does need some puppy training–he’s great at sitting for treats and taking them gently, and he’s mostly housebroken, but he would do great in a home with adopters who can give him regular, structured walks and keep up a routine for him so he knows exactly how he’s supposed to behave. This guy has energy to burn, and a new family that can help give him the mental and physical exercise he needs will get to experience the incredible reward of a happy, well-trained, and loving pet. Please come and see this sweet ball of infectious joy today!

10/21/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: 7/27/16 Unaltered, stray 9/29/16 Altered, in foster home for 7 weeks Lived with: 1 adult, 1 cat Behavior toward children: Toward a 1-year-old, Kurry was interested in playing. When he sees children outside he ignores them. Behavior toward dogs: Very playful, but can play roughly Behavior toward cats: No aggression reported, though when excited he may chase FG/RG: None reported Bite history: None reported Housetrained: Mostly housetrained, though he does have occasional accidents. Energy level/descriptors: Kurry is a young, active dog who needs considerable daily mental and physical exercise. He has shown some potential barrier frustration and tendency toward overstimulation when on-leash, and Kurry may begin jumping on and nipping at his person. He engages with interactive toys but becomes bored with them after a few days. His foster mom thinks he will benefit from agility training Other notes: Please see the thorough Foster Feedback sheet (Behavior memos) for more information on Kurry’s behavior in the home. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 7/29/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he 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, his eyes are averted, and his tail wagging with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is open for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy 1: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Summary: Kurry showed no concerns on the SAFER assessment DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Kurry was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Kurry solicits and engages in high energy and gentle play. He may become sexually motivated but is able to continue to play. He listens to a correction when his play style becomes too rowdy and engages in gentler play.

7/28: Kurry greets the other dog with a play bow. He solicits gentle play but becomes uncomfortable with higher energy play. He is able to relax as the session continues and engages in play again. 7/29: Kurry solicits and engages in high energy play. He is sexually motivated, attempting to mount the female dog and she continues to play. He is tolerant of her persistent play solicitations. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/27/16: During his initial medical examination, Kurry was friendly and allowed all medical handling and restraint. ENERGY LEVEL: Kurry is exuberant and very active. He will need considerable daily mental and physical exercise, as well as guidance on how to appropriately channel his energy and enthusiasm. We recommend engaging environmental enrichment (toys), feeding via puzzle toys rather than bowls, rotating toys, and activities like agilities to keep Kurry’s mind and body busy. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience) Potential challenges: _X_House soiling: Kurry has had occasional accidents in his foster home, so adopters will likely need to continue to keep a close eye on him when he’s inside and take him for frequent walks. _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: Kurry’s energy seems to be directed at soliciting human attention but he does engage in jumping and nipping behavior when excited. Kurry will need guidance to learn alternate ways to seek attention. We recommend only force-free, positive reinforcement-based methods.

07/28/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Kurry was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center during Kurry’s first stay at the Care Center, Kurry solicits and engages in high energy and gentle play. He may become sexually motivated but is able to continue to play. He listens to a correction when his play style becomes too rowdy and engages in gentler play. Since returning to the Care Center, Kurry continually solicits and engages in high energy, mouthy play. The Behavior Department recommends that Kurry be placed with neutered male and female dogs that match his high energy play style and that a dog-dog interaction be conducted to ensure compatibility. 10/21: Kurry continually solicits and engages in high energy, mouthy play with a playful female. 10/27: In a group of playful dogs, Kurry targets an intact male, displaying stiff body language and low growling as he bounces behind him. He is able to be momentarily interrupted by the handlers before resuming targeting the male. 10/22- 11/1: Kurry engages in high energy play in a group of playful female and neutered male dogs. He continually solicits to play and is tolerant of mouthy play styles.
