06/13/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Little Shamy is with us as his owner died….He is a really cute elderly with the most lovely face…He was a bit wary when he came in, having parted from his home and loved one…He seems more comfortable now and welcomes caresses and the lap. Shamy walks well on the leash, appears quite fine with other dogs met, big and small and does his business on the way although we can not assure that he is fully housetrained. Shamy has been reasonably well cared for by his former master. A stop at the groomer, though , would transform him into a fluffy posh pet… Come and meet our Shamy at the Manhattan Care Center and make him yours.

06/07/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Shamy came into our center after his owner died. Family reports Shamy is shy when first meeting strangers but will warm up. He is described as friendly, affectionate, playful at times, and mellow. During intake, Shamy allowed all handling. He was calm upon entering SAFER assessment room. Shamy allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, relaxed. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, ears and tail neutral. Shamy did not follow on the end of the leash for Tag game, focused on exit and unresponsive to each pass. He pulled his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, turned head towards assessor. Shamy showed minimal interest in Toy, sniffing a few times before turning away. When off leash with other dogs, Shamy did not interact and mostly kept to himself, then walked into the pool to cool off. The Behavior Team feels Shamy would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. He may benefit from initially entering a calm, quiet, structured environment so he can relax and know what to expect in his new home. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1.
