02/24/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/24/2017 17:57 Oscar A1104593 is a 2yr old male AMPBT mix that was spotted tied up to a light pole on a corner in the Bronx. The Police was called and they were told by someone that the owner tied Oscar up and told them they didn’t want him anymore. The officers stated Oscar is nice but flinches a little when you go to pet him but he allowed them to untie him and Oscar jumped into their patrol car. During intake Oscar allowed all handling. He allowed to be scanned (-), collared & taken pictures of; it took me several tries to get a not so blurry picture of Oscar due to him moving around quite a bit. Oscar walked nicely alongside me to the transport van where he jumped in on his own.

02/27/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Oscar’s no grouch and this crop-eared cutie had me wrapped around his little paw from the moment we met. Full of the curious playfulness of puppyhood and all the trusting loyalty of a well-socialized pet, he’s keen to explore and to love on his people and makes for the most wonderful sharing-is-caring partner when it comes to games of fetch or tug. A cinch to leash, seemingly house trained and a breeze to walk (though he does literally stick to my side at times), Oscar meets other pups with friendly good manners no matter what their size. Toys, snacks and snuggles (in that order) are the things that make his world go round and when he offers up a pleading head-tilt it’s impossible not to shower him with treats and praise. Active and athletic yet easy to handle and even easier to love, Oscar is going to make his new family very happy. Set up a playdate with Oscar the Great today, he can’t wait to meet you! Another volunteer writes: Got lap? You need Oscar!! Adorably snuggly in his brindlicious, gleaming coat, his tail never stops wagging, he wants to be as close as possible to his person, and when he gets a bit mouthy because he’s so excited to make a new friend, all is forgiven as he wiggles and waggles his way into my heart. Oscar sits when asked, loves treats, does that head tilt thing I love. He seems younger than his estimated age of 2yo and is looking for a loving person or family to provide structure, positive reinforcement training (easy because he loves treats), and a lifetime of love. Got lap? Get Oscar!

02/27/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 2/24/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 2/26/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game with coaxing. He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Minimal interest, dog sniffs toy. Summary: Oscar displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment, he was social throughout. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Social: These dogs truly enjoy the company of other dogs. They generally get along with all other dogs and can tolerate even very rude or inappropriate behavior. PLAYGROUP: Based on behavior observed in the care center, the behavior department feels that Oscar may be most compatible with other social, playful dogs. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 2/24/17 During his initial medical exam, Oscar was tense. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Oscar so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for a home with an average amount of dog experience)
