05/31/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: My impression of Sheeva in the first few minutes that I met her and the last few that I spent time with her are drastically different. And we can thank a ball for that! Let me explain. When I first took Sheeva out, she reminded me of a nervous little fox that had just been caught in the hen house. She literally looks like a fox, with her sleek body, caramel coat and tail that looks like it was dipped in black ink. She was eager to come out and relieve herself, but a bit hand shy. The cuts on the top of her head and some eye inflammation could be an indicator to what happened to her prior to her arrival and why she may be so anxious. However, once I showed her a ball, a totally different Sheeva emerged. In a matter of minutes she was bounding after it, quick to retrieve it over and over again. When she tired of the game, she cuddled up on the bench with me, ball in her mouth, begging for belly rubs and attention. You can imagine it was no surprise that when I looked up the name “Sheeva” it means charming-and that’s exactly what she is! Ask to meet her today!

PLAYGROUP: While off leash with other dogs at the Care Center, Sheeva displays anxious body language around a novel male dog. She stress pants, paces in the pen, and frequently vocalizes. She briefly greets the male dog before returning to this behavior. Sheeva displays soft body language when greeting a female dog. She solicits and engages in gentle play, respecting the other dog when she no longer wishes to engage. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 5/26/17 During intake Sheeva was panting and seemed a bit nervous. She allowed the counselor to collar her and take her with no problems. When her finder left the admissions office she began to bark and cry. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/27/17 Sheeva was afraid of fast movement, but she did allow handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Sheeva so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. Sheeva displayed medium energy and movement throughout assessment. Sheeva will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below). _X_No young children (under 5): Sheeva seems a bit uncomfortable with quick movements and may be most comfortable in a home without very young children, particularly until the reason for her anxiety is determined. Dog-savvy young children can be considered pending interaction. She otherwise shows good coping skills, even when uncomfortable, and has been quite human social with her Potential challenges: _X_Anxiety: Sheeva has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, barking) continually through the SAFER and through play sessions outside. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Sheeva, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment.
