03/14/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
03/14/16 18:38 BASIC INFO Roady is a 5 year old Shih Tzu mix. His owner got him from a family member when he was 1 month old and surrendered him due to lack of time. SOCIALIZATION Roady is friendly with some new people and barks at others, with no distinct pattern. He lived with a child from ages 0-1. The child often pulled his hair and he would snap at her (without biting). He bit his owner 2 years ago on her arm while she was bathing him and touching his face (his fur is matted). This didn’t break skin and is his only known bite. Roady is relaxed, playful, tolerant, and plays exuberantly with small dogs. He barks and large dogs. BEHAVIOR Roady doesn’t mind storms. He howls when he hears a fire truck siren. He doesn’t mind when someone takes his food/treat/toy, moves him off furniture, holds/restrains him, or wakes him up. During baths, he may bite if someone touches his face, but otherwise doesn’t mind. He doesn’t hold still while brushed. He had his nails trimmed by a groomer. Her barks when strangers approach his home and growls when they approach his owner. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Roady’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and high energy. He follows his family around. He likes balls and plays fetch. He lived inside and slept in his owner’s room. He ate dry Alpo food and got bacon treats. He used to potty on wee-wee pads but has been having accidents (#1 and #2) daily for the past year, since the new baby has been around. He barks while home alone loose or in a crate. He escapes while alone in a yard, but his owner doesn’t know how. He sits when asked. He went for brisk walks and pulls on his leash. INTAKE Roady approached me at the end of his leash with a loose body, open mouth, and wagging tail while he sniffed me. His owner collared him, which he tolerated. When I approached him and put his leash on, he lunged at me once while growling. I held his leash away from me and he sat in front of his owner. I didn’t scan him. He sat on the backdrop for pictures when asked. While I worked, he sat under a chair next to me or sat at the door, watching out the window.

03/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Roady was difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth, grabbing at the leash with a stiff body language. The behavior team had to use a towel to remove him from the kennel. Once he came out Roady walks calmly on leash. He was not sociable but he stays close to the assessor with a low body and tail. Roady had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. He became stiff and uncomfortable during paw handling Roady wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth. He was not interested in toys. Roady was surrender to us. Roady’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and high energy. Roady is friendly with some new people and barks at others, with no distinct pattern. He lived with a child from ages 0-1. The child often pulled his hair and he would snap at her (without biting). Roady is relaxed, playful, tolerant, and plays exuberantly with small dogs. He barks and large dogs. He doesn’t mind when someone takes his food/treat/toy”. 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. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff and fearful; his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, shy body language, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 5. Dog freezes Toy 1. No interest.
