08/18/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/18/16 12:44 The last time Pudgy has visited the doctor was about a month ago and he had a clean bill of health. Around strangers he is shy but he only takes a couple of minutes to acclimate to someone new and novel environments. He loves when people rub his head and under his chin, this will probably make him comfortable around you faster. He is relaxed and friendly around kids and has lived with an 11 year old in his home that was his owner. He is friendly around other dogs but will get scared if they bark at him and he will run. His behavior around most cats is unknown but he has been around a family cat and he tries to play with it even tho the cat does not like him, he is not aggressive towards it. Pudgy is absolutely house trained and never destroys anything in the house whether alone or not. he is very scared of loud noises and anything with a siren or loud motor. If someone touches his food bowl or takes it he will growl unless it is his owner in which case he is fine. He is not bothered by his treats or toys being touched or taken by anyone. Pudgy is not bothered by any type of grooming and allows all handling. He is not a big barker but might bark if someone approaches the home but not at all times.

08/20/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Pudgy walks calmly on leash. He became uncomfortable when the behavior team tries to collar him Pudgy wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth with a stiff body language. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Pudgy was not interested in toys. Pudgy was surrender to us. According to his previous owner around strangers he is shy but he only takes a couple of minutes to acclimate to someone new and novel environments. He loves when people rub his head and under his chin, this will probably make him comfortable around you faster. He is relaxed and friendly around kids and has lived with an 11 year old in his home that was his owner. He is friendly around other dogs but will get scared if they bark at him and he will run. His behavior around most cats is unknown. Pudgy is absolutely house trained and never destroys anything in the house whether alone or not. He is not bothered by his treats or toys being touched or taken by anyone”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.
