02/21/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Rushmore is an imposing and statuesque dog, a masterpiece, well named after the famous mount…He has such gorgeous eyes that become so sweet and focused when they look at treats or a ball…And he sits so beautifully for both. Rushmore is calm in his kennel but becomes all wiggly and tail wagging when he sees a potential caretaker. He is ready when you are…He is strong and pulls on the leash, marks slightly his territory and meets properly other dogs in the street. Free in a pen, he explores, comes when called, settles for reward or none and has this magic way to look at you, like you are the most wonderful person in the world. Rushmore is nicely built but his eyes are really doing all the talking…He is really a very attractive dog. Rushmore might be a stray but he has been well cared for, is perfectly built , dressed and looks quite healthy. He does well with other dogs in playgroups, passed his behavioral evaluation with flying colors and is waiting to meet you in our adoptive quarters. Ask for handsome Rushmore, walk him with us, get to know him and take him home as your new forever best friend

02/19/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rushmore pulls a bit on the leash. He was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. Rushmore was calm and relaxed during handling. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Rushmore took the toy away with a soft body language. Rushmore did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog is active and focused on the Assessor and all other stimuli available. His body is soft, likely panting, likely to display high movement between attempts. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1.Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly.
