09/22/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: While one person might see Orlando as a run down skin and bones dog, another person will discover the socialite in him… Orlando absolutely loves to be with people and to be cared for. And care, well, he needs lots of it. His weight needs a lift, his coat craves for more hair and his general health could use a boost. He is ready when you are, gets leashed in an instant and strolls at a slow pace around the block, not forgetting to do his business. He is interested in his peers, big and small and is polite in playgroups, not really actively playing like his younger and healthier counterparts. Stay tuned, though as Orlando once “renewed” might prove to be a lively and spunky gentleman .He is a cute red fox perched on long legs who never fails to come when called, sits with some difficulties(although he does the stairs well) and enjoys to stay around his caretaker for petting. He likes treats and although thin, takes them quite politely from my hand. It was also funny to see him going with determination through my belongings, i guess in search for treats. It would be great to see Orlando landing with “his tush in butter” like we say in my former country, Belgium…A house with good food, treats, a warm and cushy bed and plenty of love…What a handsome and happy lad he would be… Come and meet Orlando at the Manhattan Care Center and make his dream and ours, a reality.

09/20/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Limited Profile Date of intake 9/18/17 Unaltered male, stray Behavior toward strangers: Finder reports Orlando walked up to everyone he saw, gentle and social. SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 9/20/2017 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he 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, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture, mouth closed Tag: 1. Follows slowly at end of leash, body soft Squeeze 1: 2. Dog pulls back quickly, flinches Flank squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog sniffs, then turns away. Summary: Orlando pulled his paw back quickly and flinched during Paw Squeeze, though this may be due to medical/skin issue. Therefore, the remaining item was conducted using Flank. PLAYGROUP: Orlando is polite and tolerant when interacting with other calm dogs in the care center. History around dogs is unknown due to arriving as a stray. Based on behavior observed while in our care, the behavior department feels that Orlando may be most compatible with other dogs who are respectful and calm. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Date of intake 9/18/2017 During intake, Orlando was relaxed and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 9/18/2017 During his initial medical exam, Orlando allows all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Orlando so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Orlando is calm, quiet, gentle, and low energy. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)

09/19/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION

9/19: When introduced off leash to the female greeter dog, Orlando greets politely, then otherwise wanders away to keep to himself. 9/21: Orlando keeps mostly to himself. 9/22: Orlando greets a female dog politely, and greets a male dog through the fence politely. Once together, he sniffs the male dog slowly, then climbs onto his back and begins to growl and bite at the face and neck. He holds on despite interrupters, but does not break skin.
