11/23/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/23/16 15:51 Max is a seven year old poodle shih tzu mix. He lived his entire life with his previous owner. Max was surrendered because his previous owner no longer wants to take care of him. Previous owner stated that Max will bark and growl at strangers. During intake, Max sat quietly and wagged his tail even after his owner left. He stood near counselor and under counselor’s legs. He liked to lean on counselor. he allowed ACO to hold him during vaccinations, and allowed for petting. Max lived with a one year old and a 14 year old. Max was reported to be friendly with them, and generally ignored the one year old except for occassional sniffing. max has never lived with other animals. Max was reported to be potty trained. He likes to go into the garbage can and try to eat garbage. When left home alone, Max was reported to be anxious. Previous owner stated that Max would whine and scratch the door and floor when left home alone. previous owner says that Max allows him to take away food, toys, and treats. Max was reported to tolerate baths and brushing. Max reportedly barks when strangers knock on the door. Max was stated to have a high activity level. Previous owner reported that he likes to follow them around the house, and that he loves playing catch. Max was mostly indoors, and previous owner would take him on walks 2-3 times a day for 20 minutes. max is used to eating dry food and pulls very hard on his leash. When walked off leash he will stay by owner, and has been taught to cross the street by himself and then wait for owner on opposite sidewalk.
11/26/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I’m lucky that I got to witness the ‘before’ and ‘after’ grooming of sweet Max. Surrendered by the only family he’s ever known because they were no longer able to care for him, he joined us in need of a bath and a haircut. He was a bit shy when I first leashed him, perhaps due to shyness of strangers as we’re told, or because his mats hurt him to walk. Nonetheless he joined me for a walk, tail wagging as he took care of his business and we head to the park. Wanting to meet every dog we passed, he greeted all with a happy wagging tail, posed for some pictures and took treats softly. Off leash in a pen he sat next to me enjoying some petting after he let me know it was OK. We’re told that Max lived with both a 1 yo and a 14 yo child and was friendly to both, mostly ignoring the baby. We’re also told he’s housetrained (check), and likes to get into the garbage (so secure your garbage when you adopt him), and doesn’t guard his stuff. The ‘after’ of Max introduces a whole new look – he’s tiny, with adorably floppy ears and can now move about freely. I’m looking forward to spending time with the ‘new and improved’ Max, but even better than that will be Max wagging his tail out the door with his new family.
11/27/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Unaltered, owner surrender Previously lived with: Adults/Children (ages one and fourteen) Behavior toward children: Friendly Behavior toward dogs: Unknown Behavior toward cats: Unknown FG/RG: None reported Bite history: None stated Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: high activity level Other notes: Max is reported to bark/gowl at strangers SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/27/2016 Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body a bit tense, his tail is low wagging Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes wide, ears and tail neutral, mouth closed Tag: 3. Dog follows at the end of leash, body and head low, turns towards the touch on second and third pass Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, sniffs, then turns away. Summary: Max was overall uncomfortable, but tolerated up-close tactile handling. He may do best initially in a calm, quiet, structured environment so Max can warm up at his own pace. Recommend slow approach/slow introduction. PLAYGROUP: 11/28: When introduced off leash to other dogs in the care center, Max engages in brief play. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/23/16 During initial exam max appeared to be very nervous and tense and also struggled when being restrained ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Max has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Max may easily startle and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.)
