02/02/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/02/16 Smokey is a 5 year old neutered APBT. His family got him from a previous owner when he was about 1 year old. They had to surrender him because they moved to a home that doesn’t allow his breed. Smokey has skin allergies and takes Benadryl as needed. Smokey is friendly/outgoing with new people. He lived with 4 children ages 0-14 and is relaxed, playful, and tolerant with them. He plays gently with all people. He lived with 2 small dogs – one male and one female. He was relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. They were geriatric and didn’t want to play, so he was respectful of that. He lived with 3 cats and was relaxed, playful, affectionate, and tolerant with them. He likes to cuddle with adults, children, dogs, and cats. He’s never bit anyone. Smokey barks during severe storms. He loves being bathed and brushed. He’s friendly with strangers who approach his home/family and reportedly “thinks they’re there to visit him.” Smokey doesn’t mind when someone takes his food/treat/toy, moves him off furniture, holds/restrains him, or wakes him up. Since his paws have been sensitive when his skin was inflamed, he pulls his paw away when someone holds it. He had his nails trimmed at the vet. He runs away if sprayed with anything (e.g. flea preventative). He will ingest plastic bags if they’re left out. Smokey’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, loving, caring, and high energy. He follows his family/friends everywhere. He plays chase and tug and likes kongs with peanut butter, ropes, and rawhides. He lived inside and slept on a recliner or with his owners. He ate Rachel Ray dry grain-free food and boiled chicken. He loves carrots and broccoli. He’s mostly housetrained, potties anywhere outside, and never has accidents while a person is home with him. When he’s home alone without people for any amount of time, he gets into the garbage and has accidents (#1 and #2). His owner used to keep him in a pop-up crate for about 2 years, but he would escape daily. She reports that he seems less distressed when left with free roam. He also does better with rawhides or kongs to keep him busy. He is well-behaved alone in a yard with a 4′ metal gate fence. Smokey knows sit, come, let’s go, and where are the kids?. Smokey went for slow and brisk walks and pulled on his leash. Off-leash, he wanders but comes when called. Smokey was relaxed and tolerant during intake handling and vaccines.

02/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Like a little grey mouse with big pointy ears, this friendly little guy has a ‘smokey’ grey coat with the slightest hint of tan markings. Compact and tail waggy, his ears are so cute and tall that passersby look down at him with a smile, and staff makes comments on his cuteness. He’s likely housetrained, using the ‘facilities’ as soon as we were out the door, and after walking for a short distance decides that playing tug of war with the leash is a fun game. He’ll need some training, and perhaps a harness, to unlearn what may have been fun when he was a puppy and taught to play tug. Off leash in the backyard he joins me on the bench for some quick hugs and kisses, and while he ignored most dogs passing us, greeted a large dog in an adjoining pen with a high tail wag. Smokey was surrendered to our care so he’s understandably a bit anxious about this change in his life and is looking for a new person to love.

02/02/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Smokey pulls a bit on the leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Smokey was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He was not interested in toys. Smokey was surrender to us. According to his previous owner he is friendly and outgoing with new people. He lived with 4 children ages 0-14 and is relaxed, playful, and tolerant with them. He plays gently with all people. He lived with 2 small dogs – one male and one female. He was relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. They were geriatric and didn’t want to play, so he was respectful of that. He lived with 3 cats and was relaxed, playful, affectionate, and tolerant with them. He likes to cuddle with adults, children, dogs, and cats. Smokey doesn’t mind when someone takes his food/treat/toy”. Smokey did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his 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 is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. No interest.

02/02/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Smokey has exhibited different behaviors during each interaction while in the care center. He will play with some, mount others and avoid/correct others. He came from a home with two small dogs, one male and one female. His owner reports he was “relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. They were geriatric and didn’t want to play, so he was respectful of that.” Based on this information the behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placing him into a home with other dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Smokey greets politely, then solicits and engages in play with the helper dog. 2/3 update: Smokey greets well at the gate but when he enters the pen he stands tall, T-ing the shoulders of both the male and female dog. He eventually offers a low growl when the male dog continues soliciting from him. 2/4 update: Smokey is tense-bodied during interaction, and postures to mount the female dog.
