03/28/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What a rare find! Sheba is apparently house broken and crate trained and lived with a child and a cat. She is also one of the sweetest dogs that I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with. Sheba is looking for a best friend to snuggle with her on the couch, play fetch with her and feed her treats. Could that be you? Come meet her today!

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Sheba previously lived with 2 adults and a young child. The owner stated Sheba got along well with the child, she plays somewhat roughly and likes to jump up on people including children and has knocked them over. The owner mentioned Sheba has also lived with a cat and got along with them but she did not interact with the cat. And with dogs Sheba will bark and growl when they pass by. The owner describes Sheba as friendly, affectionate, and playful. It was reported by the owner Sheba is house trained, crate trained and does well up to 6 hours and has a high activity level. The owner stated Sheba eats wet and dry food and eat natural balance limited ingredient because of her allergies. At intake it was reported Sheba was friendly and social, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Sheba came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly and social towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Sheba was easily aroused, mouths the leash and quickly de-escalates during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Sheba was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to some concerns with Sheba being a bit rough around young children and not knowing her own energy, and also not being comfortable around other dogs so the behavior department feels she can be suitable for experience adopter with no young children and we recommend no other animals in the household. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog gets easily aroused, mouths the leash and quickly de-escalates once the game ends. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Sheba freezes from several feet beyond the gate and gives a hard stare. She charges the gate with a tense and stiff body, lunging, barking and guttural growling directly at the helper dog. Due to this behavior she was not introduced to the helper dog nor was she muzzled and let into the pen. Given her extreme behavior, we decided to give her a day or two to acclimate and attempt an introduction again while muzzled.
