03/06/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/06/16 13:25hrs Mr T has been cared for by his owner since he was 5 weeks old. He is described as energetic, playful and friendly. He has lived with children aged 9 and 12 years old. Mr T was very playful with the children, allowing them to pet him all over. Mr T has interacted with a yorkshire terrier and schnauzer mix dog in his owner’s home and he was very playful with them. When Mr T notices other dogs outside, he will lunge and bark after them. His owner is unsure how he will react with strange dogs because he isn’t allowed to approach them. BEHAVIOR Mr T is accustomed to following his owner around the home. He is not bothered if he is touched while eating or having food removed from his mouth. When he is left alone, he is crated for up to 10 hours and he would bark non stop for at least an hour. Mr T will wait until he is out of his crate to relieve himself. When Mr T is introduced to new visitors in the home, he will bark at them initially. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Mr T understands the commands “come, sit, up and lay down.” Mr T enjoys playing with hard rubber toys. He is walked 2x a day for up to 10 minutes. He is allowed to run off leash with his owner when he is alone in the park. Mr T eats Gravy Train dry dog food mixed with a little bit of water or canned dog food. He sleeps next to his owner’s bed at night. DURING INTAKE Mr T displayed a soft body and wagging tail but was very eager in solicting attention. He would jump onto the Admissions Counselors legs to be petted. When another dog was nearby him, he would whine continously while pulling hard towards the dog. He was collared, scanned for a microchip(positive) and photographed.

03/08/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A young Prince who spent his entire life as a devoted companion to his family, Mr T must have felt quite safe and secure in the knowledge that he had a kingdom all his own and a pack who’d always have his back. Then came the fateful day his Daddy took him on a one-way trip to the Care Center. Suddenly everything familiar was gone…home, family, friends…his whole world shattered and his comfort and security along with it. Though they’d had him since puppyhood, Mr T’s people sheltered their Prince from the outside world and he spent long hours in his crate and little time getting to know those beyond his family circle. He greets large dogs in the yard with eager tail wags and a soft body but while we’re told he played nicely with the two small dogs who frequented his home, Mr T’s lack of socialization does show itself in the presence of strange little dogs we encounter on our walk. When one casually strolls past us in the hallway he quickly becomes very vocal and upset, pulling hard toward the tiny intruder, and his new parents will need to be careful when introducing him to pups of the smaller persuasion. Mr T is a brisk walker who does all his business (we’re talking more than one bag, folks!) along the way and we share some treats and enjoy a good stroll’n’sniff through the park together until his nervousness and pent up energy get the better of him and he turns on the leash, grabbing and pulling hard. A quick tether to a lamppost calms him down and it’s smooth sailing the rest of the way, but it’s clear that Mr T is not a dog for just anyone. He needs a smart, experienced ‘pack leader’ who’ll tucker him out with plenty of play time and teach him new tricks and games to occupy his lively mind. If you’re that special someone ready to help Mr T make his slow and steady debut into the wider world then come on in to our Manhattan Care Center–your handsome Prince awaits!

03/09/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mr T pulls hard on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up, Mouthy (moderate). He was overexcited during handling, jumping up, grabbing at the leash and was hard to position, but showed no aggression. Mr T did a lot of jumping up, body checking and played tug-of-war with the leash during tag interaction. Mr T took the toy with a soft body language. Mr T was surrender to us. His previous owner described him as energetic, playful and friendly. He has lived with children aged 9 and 12 years old. Mr T was very playful with the children, allowing them to pet him all over. Mr T has interacted with a yorkshire terrier and schnauzer mix dog in his owner’s home and he was very playful with them. When Mr T notices other dogs outside, he will lunge and bark after them. His owner is unsure how he will react with strange dogs because he isn’t allowed to approach them. He is not bothered if he is touched while eating or having food removed from his mouth”. Mr T was very active, mouthy and jumpy during the assessment. He appears to be a high-energy dog that will likely do best with an adopter prepared to provide mental and physical stimulation and appropriate outlets for his energy. The behavior department feels that he can go to an experienced home no children that can follow up on this behavior. Look: 3. Dog jumps on the Assessor, consistently rubs his shoulder on the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 2. Dog repeatedly turns toward the Assessor’s hand, with loose body and open mouth, mouths the hand, but does not apply pressure. Tag: 3. Dog responds with his tail high, ears forward, mouth likely closed for at least half of the assessment item, body stiff and body checks the Assessor. Dog is often focused on other stimuli in the room. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 2. Dog gently places his open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Playgroup Notes: When off leash with other dogs, Mr T is conflicted when soliciting, bows and bounces, then baring teeth when reciprocated.
