12/10/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Awwww, Pookie…..staff already loves this little guy enough to have given him a term of endearment name…..how sweet is that? A handsome brindle boy who didn’t mind me putting a coat on him, his tail wags as we head out the door. He’s a delight on leash, posed for pictures in the park like a perfect model, showed off his sit (without me asking) in exchange for a treat which he takes so gently. As we pass other dogs he offers a bow to play, and on play dates engages in bouncy running play with females. Pookie loved playing with a squeaky toy, gave me some stand up hugs for more treats, and has a lively, fun, friendly personality that would definitely get him voted “Most Popular” in school. Our behavior team’s equivalent of ‘most popular’ is a vote that Pookie will likely do well with a person with average dog experience. He’s adorable, he’s fun, his sparkling personality is a joy. Come meet him and see for yourself.

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: Pookie may be selective when greeting other dogs. He has displayed playful behaviors when interacting with female dogs.
