A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes:  What is this word ‘senior’ you keep using? I am Onyx and I am a puppy! I’ve always been a puppy, since the day I was born, and I still love to run, jump and play play play the day away…with a few short breaks for snacks, of course. Do you like to play, too? Nothing makes me happier than spending time with people (or other puppies) but I also enjoy going for walks, chasing after balls and getting into games of tug-o-war because I think toys are just the best. Y’all brought some toys with you today, right? Phew! I thought we might have to be boring for a moment there but now we can PLAY! And guess what? Not only am I good at sports, I’m a bit of a scholar too. I can sit on command for treats or to wait for you to throw the ball, though sometimes I just kind of hover my butt so I can run after it that much more quickly, and I’ll always come when you call. I heard my friends here at the Care Center say I am a good boy and that I ‘aced my behavior assessment’ which means I can live in just about any home, yippee! If you’re looking for a 12 year old puppy to share in all the good food and fun the world has to offer then this puppy is looking for you. You can bring the toys (and the treats) and I’ll bring the love! I am Onyx, ask to meet me today!

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment:1-Jul-2018
Look:1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity:1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.
Tag:1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body soft.
Paw squeeze 1:1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Paw squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw.
Toy:1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away.
Summary:
Onyx quickly approached the assessor with a soft body. He was social during the assessment, allowed all handling, and displayed no concerning behaviors.
Playgroup notes:
6/30: When introduced off leash to a female greeter dog, Onyx greets politely and wanders the pen.
7/01: After greeting the female helper dog, Onyx attempts to mount her and is removed from the yard.
Date of initial:29-Jun-2018
Summary:
Onyx was gentle.
ENERGY LEVEL:
We have no history on Onyx so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
