04/22/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What a gorgeous, gorgeous former–we hope just for the moment!–family pet. Nobu was surrendered by his family because of personal issues (theirs, not his), and what beautiful owner-surrender notes they left. Nobu lived with a ten year old and played “very gently” with both children and adults, likes to follow his family from room to room, is house trained, and is “super friendly” with strangers. Needless to say, finding himself here has been disorienting for him, but he is doing a mighty job to adjust–he is kind to the other dogs in playgroup, he is kind to the volunteers and kennel officers trying to offer him comfort. But there is only so much we can do for a family dog, given that the shelter is not a place where a loving dog can follow anyone room to room. Please, won’t you come meet Nobu and offer him a forever home? He is in need of leash training or a back yard in which to roam free! Another volunteer writes: So quiet in his kennel, up front gently waiting for his turn for a walk. Leashed easily, we head outside, where his “business” is his first business, and we’re off for a walk. Nobu pulls on his leash a bit, and after a short walk we head into the backyard. He comes when called, joining me on the bench for some hugs and kisses, poses for some pictures, sits side saddle (which melts my heart every time), greeted other dogs passing our pen with bouncy tail wags, and in group play greets politely and solicits soft play. Surrendered to our care as his family no longer had time to care for him, we know that he is “super friendly” with strangers, plays gently with adults and children and lived respectfully with a 10 year old child. He’s housetrained when walked regularly, doesn’t like to be left alone for too long, doesn’t guard his stuff, and is described as “friendly, affectionate and playful”. Nobu has been gorgeously taken care of, his brindle coat shines with good care, he’s calm and quiet and doing his best to adjust to temporary life without a family. He’s looking for a new family to love, and we’re cheering for this sweet boy. Ask to meet him when you visit.

04/20/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Nobu interacts well with males and females, engaging in brief play with dogs of both sexes. He was initially startled in the yard but became more comfortable after multiple interactions and began to engage. During an extended play session he did begin to mouth and jump on the other dogs, but he seems to be unsure of how to engage appropriately. His owners do not report any interactions with other dogs, so any in-home beahviors are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing him into a home with other dogs as well as allowing him time to acclimate to his surroundings before introducing him to any resident dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Nobu greets politely. He is easily startled at sudden sounds and movement in the yard. He begins to solicit a bit of soft play. 4/21 update: Nobu is less easily startled, and greets and sniffs politely. 4/22 update: Nobu is interested in solicitation but does not engage in play. 4/23 update: Nobu is more comfortable and will engage in soft play with males and females. After an extended play session he begins to engage in running play and nips at the other dogs.
