A volunteer writes:   Saint is so special you’ll want to make up words for him – like ‘huggle’ which is hug and cuddle in one word.   He needs a new dictionary to describe him!  Surrendered by his person due to a new living/work situation, Saint was clearly loved and well taken care of.   He’s found the fountain of youth, as no way would I ever guess his age.   He’s good on the leash with a nice spry walk, well fed (pleasantly plump), seems very housetrained, his coat is clean and groomed, and he loves to ‘huggle’.   Saint enjoyed some treats in the park, wanted to chase some squirrels, and wasn’t thrilled being tethered so we kept our photo shoot short.  My Saint dictionary now includes the following in addition to huggle:  ‘sniss’ (snuggle and kiss).  Come meet him and see how many words you can create.   He’s an awesome dog making the best out of this strange new world, and hoping to create lots of new words with you.

Another volunteer writes: Saint can often be found out playing with staff as he’s a favorite of all. Tug? Absolutely! You dropped your side? I’ll bring it back so you can grab it more easily! Bounce around with you? Love to! Cuddles? Yep, that too! An awesome dog, who has rewritten the definition of ‘senior’, Saint is playful, smart, affectionate and handsome. He’s ready to find a fun and active retirement home in which to share his golden years. Bring him home!

BEHAVIOR :

KNOWN HISTORY: None
Unaltered Male, Owner Surrender
SAFER ASSESSMENT:
Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.
Tag: 2. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Grabs leash but relinquishes.

Squeeze 2: 2. Dog quickly pulls back.
Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy.
Summary: Saint was social throughout his assessment and allowed all handling. He grabbed his leash during tag but quickly relinquished.

DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT:
Summary
PLAYGROUP:
7/6: When introduced off leash to a female greeter dog, Saint greets politely and wanders the pen.
7/7: Saint greets female dogs politely.  He displays brief intent to mount.

INTAKE BEHAVIOR
Upon intake, Saint tolerated all handling and had a relaxed body.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During his initial medical exam, Saint was social and allowed handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:
We have no history on Saint so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
