11/29/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/29/16 12:14 Basic Info: Spotty A1098116 is a 1yr 1/2 old neutered male white & brown AMPBT mix who was given to the owner as a gift from a family member 1yr 1/2 ago and is being surrendered due to no time. He was last seen by a veterinarian in 2015 and currently has no known health issues/injuries. Socialization: Around strangers Spotty is friendly/outgoing. He hasn’t lived with other animals or children but has spent time with a 1yr, 4yr & 7yr old and was gentle, exuberant, relaxed, playful with them; (sometimes he doesn’t know his own strength and can knock them down at times) also the adults in the home. Spotty has never bitten/scratched any person or animal. Behavior: Spotty isn’t bothered by the following: having his food/food bowl, toys/treats touched/moved, being moved off of furniture, being brushed or being bathed. He hasn’t had his nails trimmed or been disturbed while sleeping/resting. If someone approaches the home/family member Spotty will bark for attention/affection. For A New Family to Know: Spotty is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident & excitable with a high activity level. Spotty enjoys playing although he hasn’t gotten much play time and is an indoor only dog who sleeps and spends his days in his crate (only taken out for crate clean up about 1-3x a day) & is walked once a month where he pulls strongly on his leash. Spotty eats dry Pedigree 2x a day (with water). Spotty “goes” in his crate or in the home as he isn’t walked or taken out of his crate much. Intake Behavior: Spotty allowed all handling, he had a super loose, wiggly body and it took several minutes to get a clear picture of him. He allowed to be scanned (+), collared and taken pictures of. Spotty was then walked to the transport van where he tried to hop in on his own but required some assistance.

12/03/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Named Spotty for obvious reasons, this gorgeous boy was surrendered by his person for ‘no time’. So happy to come out for a walk he went potty right away and even pulled towards the curb to do so. Pulling on the leash a bit in his sheer joy at our excursion (we’re told he was only walked once a month), he’s tail waggy and friendly to all. Spotty and I stopped in the park to take some pictures, Spotty showing off his ‘sit’ in exchange for gently taking a treat. Off leash in a pen he comes when I call him, so thrilled to have the freedom to roam the pen. We’re told that he’s relaxed and playful with young children, but of course, sometimes can knock them down not knowing his own strength. He also doesn’t guard his things, spent all day and night in his crate (only taken out to clean the crate because that’s where he went potty since he wasn’t walked). Romping and chasing in his playgroups with both males and females, when he’s done playing he’s ready to leave the area. Spotty is lively, fun, friendly and his enthusiastic exploration of everyone and everything is a joy to watch. For him the world is unfolding with each new experience. Although it’s clear he’s had limited exposure to just about everything, he’s doing amazingly well with each new experience. His face and body language is joyful and happy; this is a dog ready to join a new family and make himself right at home. Shouldn’t it be yours?
