07/06/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/06/16 18:49 Oreo A1080221 is an approx 8 year old AMPT and is being surrendered because her owner can not afford vet bills. She has not been to the vet and has bloody discharge from vulva and nipples. Behavior during intake Oreo was very friendly upon intake. She has bloody discharge, foul odor from her private area and mammary tumors. She loved being pet and was very excited to see the staff. She wagged her tail and layed on the floor for belly rubs. She has mammary tumors. She was collared, photographed and transferred into a kennel.

WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes:  Oreo has given her all to her family – she loved them, took care of them, gave them puppies, gave them unconditional love and loyalty.  Now when she has significant medical issues her family has given her to our care as they can’t afford medical bills. Oreo’s coat is shiny so it appears that she was fed well, she’s social and happy to meet me and go for a walk.   She smiles, her eyes sparkle and she wags her tail when I talk to her and she comes when I call her.     Gentle, calm and sweet, she enjoyed some treats, enjoyed some sweet talk, and enjoyed some petting.   What she needs most of all is a person or family to love her, to take care of her medical needs, and to let her live out the rest of her life in the warmth of a new family.  She deserves nothing less.

07/08/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Oreo was surrendered to the care center by her previous owner, but we have no information on her behavior in her previous home. Please note that Oreo is being treated for a significant medical condition at the time of evaluation. Oreo has been social with the medical team during her medical examinations, loose-bodied and tolerant of all medical handling. She seemed a bit distressed when brought into the behavior room for her SAFER assessment; she was not social toward the assessor but could be coaxed into position. She returned at every opportunity to the exit door – she did not vocalize or scratch at the door, but would stand near it. She was distracted and a bit tense during the handling items, eventually raising a lip on paw squeeze. She did not escalate to a head flip, growl, or snap, but out of concern for her stress level the handling was ended at this point. Oreo did not engage with the toy. After consideration of all behaviors observed, we feel that Oreo is appropriate for an experienced adopter willing to allow Oreo to warm up to her new home and new family at her own pace. We recommend someone familiar with dog body language who can make sure to cease interaction if Oreo gives “back off” signals (like a lip raise) and make sure those signals do not escalate. We also recommend an adult-only home (no children). Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, mouth open, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) She is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 4. Dog tenses, lip raises. Dog-dog: Outside on a walk, Oreo approached a dog through the pen gate. She had neutral body language, sniffed for a few seconds and then turned away.
