12/30/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I so feel for Shea, a proven family dog who lived happily with children and mingled nicely with other large dogs…Her world fell apart when her owners encountered housing issues and had to leave our state. She pulls on the leash until she does her business and her pent up energy wears out. Then, she is all lovy dovy, a snuggler and a kisser who seems to try to get all the warmth she can get from her temporary caretaker before to go back to her den.. Shea sits very nicely on command and absolutely loves treats. She seems fine meeting dogs in the yard and has been shy with her peers in the one playgroup she attended. Shea comes with lovely comments: smart, playful, intuitive, affectionate and a good listener, all attributes we like to see in a family pet. Shea is a pretty gal who can make the sweetest eyes… and will bring joy to the new owners or family who will open their home and heart to her. Please, do count Shea in your New Year wishes for happiness. She will be your loyal and loving friend for ever.

May benefit from daily mental and physical stimulation in the forms of walks, runs, exercise, play. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Proximity Sensitive: These dogs have had a poor history of social experience with other dogs or could be extremely fearful in the shelter environment. They are socially shy and may exhibit fearful body posturing (tucked tail, head low, snarling etc), defensive posturing (lunging, barking, snarling etc.) or physically avoid/ignore other dogs. They will emit warning signals to the other dog to back away but if they are forced to interact they may snap. PLAYGROUP: Shea has not yet been comfortable interacting with dogs in the care center. Due to limited observation, and lack of history around dogs, the behavior department feels that Shea may be most comfortable as the only resident dog until followup outside the care center. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 12/23/2016 Shea was friendly and allowed all handling during his initial medical exam. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
