07/30/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Mamook A1114885 is at risk for concerns that he is not thriving in the shelter environment, and for observed behavioral deterioration over his long stay. He has been showing challenging behavior in the kennel, at times lunging and growling when approached. This behavior is unlikely to resolve in this environment, and in order to decrease its rehearsal along with minimizing his stress and frustration, we believe he should leave a kennel setting.

A volunteer writes: Mamook is as sweet as can be! He has such a calm, loving demeanor it’s hard not to fall in love. His greying muzzle is evidence of his more seasoned attitude, and it’s so so cute! Mamook walks calmly on the leash, is reportedly very housetrained and even knows the commands sit, speak and give paw (though he’s a bit camera shy and wouldn’t let me get it on film!). Mamook’s former owner described him as friendly and affectionate, says that he loves car rides and was good with a three year old child he spent time with. He’s the kind of guy who, after a leisurely walk in the neighborhood, would be perfectly content lounging on the couch with you, having a Netflix marathon, or watching your favorite romantic comedy. If you’re looking for a laid back guy who won’t demand much more than some good food, a soft place to sleep and a loving home, ask to meet Mamook today!

DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: When off leash at the Care Center, Mamook displays soft and social body language in a group of calm male and female dogs. Mamook’s previous guardian reported that he has never been around other dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that Mamook be placed with resident dogs that match his calm sociability. IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: 7/19/17 Mamook was moved out of isolation today and is displaying the same level of sociability as he showed before being diagnosed with CIRCD on 6/23- with human handlers and other dogs while outside in playgroup . Unfortunately his behavior while in his kennel has deteriorated. Mamook has been growling and lunging at staff when his kennel is approached. Due to this behavior, we do not feel that he will be able to return to the public adoption rooms and placement should be sought as soon as possible for Mamook. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/10/17 Mamook was energetic, interactive, allows full exam easily. ENERGY LEVEL: His previous owner reports a high activity level, which matches what we have seen in the care center. Mamook will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) Potential challenges: _X_ Anxiety: Mamook has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining,) continually through the SAFER. This behavior was not reported at intake, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment. _X_ Kennel presence
