A volunteer writes: We volunteers so often wonder why those dogs who have been the most neglected always seem to be the sweetest. Mike is no exception. Seriously emaciated to the point where his hip bones jut out, his ribs show, he has some spots of alopecia from poor nutrition, and his nails are way too long curling in from the length, he nonetheless is the sweetest guy. His leash manners are amazing, he seems to be housetrained as we went potty as soon as we were outside, and when I bent down to pick up his poop he snuck in a kiss! I was in love! In the park he didn’t mind being tethered for photos, made soft eye contact and took treats hungrily but gently. As other dogs passed he wagged his tail appropriately, and made friends with a small dog who stopped to say hello. In the yard, Mike gave me more kisses, explored the area, enjoyed more treats and watched with a wagging tail as dogs came into the yard. He’s soft and gentle and when tethered inside so that I could clean his kennel before putting him back, he lay down and calmly surveyed the activity going on in front of him. Mike will need plenty of TLC to restore his weight and his coat. He’s a gorgeous boy and will be amazingly gorgeous once he’s where he should be weight and health wise. His sweet personality will see him through all of this. If you’re ready to be part of a wonderful dog’s journey to good health, come meet Mike today.

07/30/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mike came into the shelter as a stray; there was some behavior information post intake. It was reported Mike is intolerant of other dogs. It was also mentioned by the client that Mike is difficult during his walks because he would become fixated on any other dog he encounters; the client said Mike has been negatively reactive towards other dogs. Behavior during Intake: Mike displayed no concerns when he entered the shelter. During SAFER Mike came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, he had a loose body posture when interacting with the assessor, although he attempted to mount he responded well to correction and allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Mike was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment. Mike was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Mike appears to be sociable, and did not display any behavior concern, so the department feels can be suitable for an “experienced” adopter. The behavior department also recommends Mike be the only pet in the home. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He 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 is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed 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. Squeeze 1 & 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. Dog-Dog:Mike is muzzled before being allowed into the pen. He greets the female dog displaying stiff body language. He is tolerant of her greeting but immediately attempts to mount her. He is persistent after handler interruptions and the session is ended.

07/28/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
According to Mike’s previous owner, Mike is very aggressive towards other dogs. Every time he tried to take him out for a walk, he tries to attack every other dog he sees on the street. He can’t take him to dog parks. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Mike displays stress signals when greeting another dog. He immediately mounts female dogs and will become reactive if they offer appropriate correction. He requires a muzzle to be introduced to another dog and displays the same behavior. Due to the reactivity seen as the Care Center, as well as the information provided by his previous owner, the Behavior Department recommends that Mike be placed in a home with no other dogs. 7/28: Mike is a bit nervous as he greets the other dog. He displays stress yawns and look-aways and has a low, slow wagging tail. Once the other dog begins to greet him, he becomes uncomfortable and mounts her. When she offers correction, he begins growl and his arousal level begins to escalate. They were separated and the session was ended. 7/30: Mike is muzzled before being allowed into the pen. He greets the female dog displaying stiff body language. He is tolerant of her greeting but immediately attempts to mount her. He is persistent after handler interruptions and the session is ended.
