08/09/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: When you’re with a stunning dog in the park taking pictures, and that dog does a head tilt when you make noises at him, you’re bound to attract a crowd. And, that’s exactly what happened, everyone commenting on my handsome companion, his cute personality, and his extraordinary ears that much of the time come to a V, touching at the top. Waiting quietly in his kennel for a walk, he went potty right away, and then walked nicely on leash as we’re off to the park. He’s alert and attentive, watching all the park activities, poses for photos like a pro, does an amazing ‘sit’, and takes treats super gently. Mustard ignored a kid who literally bounced a ball in his face, and I was so proud of him! Friendly and tail waggy, enjoying a good ear scratch, our Mustard is the perfect condiment for your life. Well behaved, smart, mild with maybe a hint of spice, Mustard is hoping you’ll stop by to meet him today.

08/07/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mustard came to the care center as a stray so behaviors in the home are unknown. During intake, he sat and stayed on cue for treats, wagging tail and relaxed body, allowed all handling. Mustard pulled on leash for his relief walk. He was friendly upon entering SAFER assessment room, barked to solicit attention from handlers. Mustard remained focused on the exit door for a majority of the SAFER assessment, tolerated all tactile portions. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, eyes averted. Mustard stood still during Sensitivity item, body soft, ears and tail neutral. He playfully ran along during Tag game, mouthing leash briefly towards end of game. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Mustard took Toy away, body neutral/not stiff. When off leash with other dogs, Mustard approaches the gate to greet the helper dog and begins to bark and growl; he is muzzled for this interaction. When the gate is opened he is tense and then chases after the helper dog when she walks away. The Behavior Team feels Mustard would do best with an Experienced adopter. He may benefit from being the only resident dog as well as being walked only by adults. Mustard may benefit initially from a calm, quiet, structured environment so he can relax and know what to expect in his new home. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture, focused on exit. Dog 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: 2. Dog assumes play position and joins the game, briefly grabs leash Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed Toy 1: 2. Dog takes toy away, no growling or stiffness. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Mustard approaches the gate to greet the helper dog and begins to bark and growl; he is muzzled for this interaction. When the gate is opened he is tense and then chases after the helper dog when she walks away.

08/06/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Mustard approaches the gate to greet the helper dog and begins to bark and growl; he is muzzled for this interaction. When the gate is opened he is tense and then chases after the helper dog when she walks away. When he gets close he attempts to mount but responds well to handler correction. Mustard arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department recommends not placing Mustard into a home with other dogs at this time until his behaviors can be followed up on outside of the shelter environment.
