06/23/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Have you ever made a meal that took all day to cook but it was so delicious you didn’t care? Romey is that meal! She may need a bit of time to warm up to new people, but she is well worth it. When I first encountered her she was on her bed, alert to her surroundings, with her tongue poking half way out of her mouth (it does that a lot and it is adorable!). She would eat the treats I would toss her way, and eventually was ready to come out with me. Once outside, she showed that she was willing to open up and even initiate contact. When I sat down, she clambered her way up to my side, lay down next to me, and then put her head in my lap! On subsequent walks she’ll greet me with a wiggly tail, lick my hands when I pet her, readily take treats outside, and show glimpses of her playful side as she bounds on and off the little playground we have in the yard. She has previously lived with an infant and a male dog, and we’re told she was relaxed, gentle, respectful and playful with them. She is mostly housebroken, knows basic commands, and loves to play with toys. Romey is a very sweet girl that is looking for someone that will respect her space, and in return will be showered with love, loyalty, and getting to see that silly tongue every day!

06/18/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Romey previously lived adults and an infant age 6-12 months. The owner stated Romey is shy around strangers for a few minutes and will growl, but with the adults and infant in the home she is gentle, relaxed and playful towards. The owner mentioned Romey spent time with a male large breed and was respectful and gentle towards. The owner describes Romey as affectionate, shy and playful. It was reported by the owner Romey is house trained, has a high activity level and well behaved when home alone. At intake it was reported Romey had tense body language with her tail tucked, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Romey came into the assessment room anxious and tense, she was social towards the assessor with a slow approach. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Romey follows anxious and an attempt to exit during the tag interaction and during the resources portion of the assessment Romey was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to Romey fearful/ Stress level in our care center, the behavior department advises that future adopters should be able to provide positive modification. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter with no small children. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is tense and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is between her legs, body tense with her mouth closed. Tag: 2. Follows at end of leash, body anxious, nervous and attempts to exit. Squeeze 1 & 2: 3. Dog closes mouth, becomes tense. Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Flank squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. No interest. 6/24 update: Romey remains social with her human caretakers outside the kennel, but she does not appear to be adjusting well to the kennel environment and has begun to demonstrate some kennel/barrier reactivity. She may growl, lunge, and snap when approached in her kennel. Due to these behaviors, we do not feel that she is a suitable candidate for the busy adoptions room, and we feel she will benefit from moving out of the kennel and into a stable home environment quickly.

06/20/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Romey’s previous owner reported that she has spent time with a male dog and was respectful and gentle. 6/20: When off leash with other dogs, Romey is very hesitant to greet and is nervous once in the pen- tucking her tail, ears back and wide eyed. She greets very briefly but is uncomfortable with a genital sniff and whips her head around to correct the helper dog. 6/23: Romey is less nervous today. She engages in short bouts of gentle play, occasionally mounting the male greeter dog and constantly lip-licking. She listens to handler interruptions and continues to play. She is tolerant of his play solicitations.
