10/27/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Mia is a home body. Her happy world starts and stops at her door…The rest of the universe was never really explored by her and accepted as good or safe..She did not particularly care for strangers, other pooches and felines..Imagine how Mia feels at the care center where everything is new to her. No familiar shoulder to cry on and all those people, dogs and even….cats…Much too much….Mia , purchased as a puppy from a pet store was owned all her life by the same family counting children of all ages. Mia was cool with them, played nicely, was an integral part of the household, went for walks, jogging and always was well behaved when left alone. She was, it seems, a loving and sweet friend wonderful to live with. Still, as the owners were moving to a place not allowing pets, beautiful Mia is now with us. She is looking warily at me from the very back corner of her kennel. She does come slowly forward as I speak to her, even gets leashed without issue and shoots through the backyard door. She relieves herself right away. Leash free, she paces, looks for exits, up and down. She seems ok with my picture taking of her, aims for my treats then thinks better….She does not like my attempt at caressing her. Mia needs time and maybe she will be more accepting if she understands we mean well. She is really gorgeous, petite and I really wonder what mix she is. She has been so well cared for down to her “manicured” nails…Little Mia needs a Sharpei lover, experienced in the breed’s cautious nature but so loyal to its masters. She is waiting and hoping that a better world lays ahead of her. Mia is at the Manhattan Care center.

10/27/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mia is fearful of the shelter environment she walks with a fearful body language. Once she came out of her kennel she pulls her lips up and back so that her mouth is open and her teeth are exposed. The behavior department decided to place her back in the kennel. Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter the behavior department believes that Mia is not an appropriate candidate for SAFER at this time. A SAFER assessment will not be conducted due to safety and stress level concerns. Mia was surrender to us. According to her previous owner Mia around strangers is aggressive she growls, barks and lounges at people she is unfamiliar with more so towards male strangers. With her family she did play with the adults and when she did she was gentle, she has also lived with children on all ages she also plays gently with them. Mia is uncomfortable around cats and dogs she doesn’t know. It is unknown the reactions she get when someone attempts to touch her food or bowl, and attempt to take treats from her”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.

10/27/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Mia’s previous owner states she has a history of conflict with other dogs, including a prior bite. First attempts at greeting Mia backs away and attempt to distance herself from the helper dog in the pen. When placed in an adjacent pen, Mia approaches the helper dog, sniffs and quickly becomes stiff. She growls and bare teeth before walking away. She is uncomfortable with handling, so the behavior staff was unable to muzzle her.
