05/02/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I love the seniors. The calm, the acceptance, the gentle spirit of a dog who has experienced much, and has learned that life is best served with quiet and good will. Papichulo is the ambassador of that philosophy, quiet in his kennel, happy to step out for a chance to go potty and a walk to enjoy the cool spring afternoon. Loosely translated, Papichulo means “cool daddy”, “hot stuff”, and yes, that’s our Papichulo. His leash manners are lovely, and although his eyes are a bit cloudy, he doesn’t miss a thing, from the squirrels in the park, to kids playing ball, to other dogs passing by. Not a fan of being tethered for photos, I snap quickly so as not to stress him, and then cuddle him close for a hug which he accepts graciously. Papichulo didn’t like either of my treats, turning up his nose in a polite “no, thank you”. At times seeming a bit confused as to exactly what has changed in his life to bring him to this new place, he’s nonetheless gentle and determined to make the best of it. He won my heart with his dignity, gentle manner and brave acceptance of things he can’t change. But, we can change it for him. Meet him today and I guarantee you’ll want to take him home for his golden years. He deserves it, and you deserve him. A volunteer updates: My main man, Papi!! A “senior” who doesn’t know what that word means, and defies all odds about aging. Age is only a number, he says. Long flight of stairs? No problemo! Brisk walk? I got this! Papichulo’s eyes are brighter, his step more lively, and his tail wags at the chance for a walk to go potty. I even get some sweet kisses for a reward from this awesome little guy. His offer of quiet, easy friendship is a promise of years of sweet companionship. He’s an awesome little guy, so ready to move right into a soft bed and a bowl full of good food. Can we make that happen today?

04/23/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 4/20/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 4/23/17 Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is tense, his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is down, body stiff, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low, and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. Minimal interest, dog sniffs toy. Summary: Papichulo appeared a bit fearful during his assessment, keeping his body tense and trembling at times. However, he did approach the assessor and allowed all handling. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Selective: These dogs can succeed with certain other dogs, but may be more selective or picky. They may dislike certain ‘types’ of dogs or styles of dog play so they may require extra supervision when interacting with other dogs. PLAYGROUP: When given time to warm up, Papichulo has become comfortable engaging in soft play, and interacting with polite dogs in the care center. The behavior department recommends slow introductions between Papichulo and respectful dogs at this time. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/20/17 During his initial medical exam, Papichulo was tense and had a tucked tail but allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Papichulo so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: Papichulo is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Papichulo the option to walk away from any social interaction. Papichulo should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Papichulo’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Papichulo would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
