04/29/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
04/29/16 12:43hrS Star Fox is described as friendly, energetic and playful. His finder cared for him for a week and stated that he was initially scared the first three days. He would cower when approached and remain with his tail tucked between his legs. However spending more time with his finder, Star Fox had become more comfortable. He interacted with his finder’s 10 year old daughter and he was playful with her her. He allowed petting and would jump up to solicit more attention. His finder stated that if you walk past him without acknowledging him, he will whimper and bark at you until you play with him. Star Fox was kept in the yard during his time with his finder but it appeared he may be house trained. When he was allowed into the inside of his finder’s garage, he wouldn’t relieve himself. Star Fox wasn’t bothered by having his food touched while eating. He would accept food from his finder’s hands. Star Fox would spend alot of time off leash running free in his finder’s yard. Star Fox enjoys chewing on hard toys. He was fed Pedigree dry dog food. During intake Star Fox displayed a soft body, wagging tail and would jump up on everyone that approached him. He allowed petting. When another dog entered the room on the opposite side, Star Fox would attempt to pull toward him while wagging his tail. He was collared, scanned for a microchip(negative) and photographed.

05/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Star Fox is one handsome dude, perfectly made and smartly dressed. He could pass for the King of the neighborhood if he was a little less stressed. He is leashed easily and seems glad to be out. He pulls slightly on the walk, strolls tail up, marks on the way and does not chase the pigeons. He seems a bit too interested in little dogs, although, who knows, he might have lived with one. Indeed, we do not know much about Star Fox as he was found as a stray. Free in a pen, he paces a lot, surveys the premises but comes when called, even sits and accepts caresses. Star Fox appears to have been well cared for until his abandonment. He seems like a strong and willful pooch who has had some basic training but will need some polishing to become a perfectly mannered companion or family dog. He has great looks and clearly the desire to make friends. Come and meet him at the Manhattan Care Center. You could be Star Fox’s new teacher.

05/02/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Star Fox came into our center after a member of the public found him tied to a gate. Finder kept Star Fox for a week, he was initially scared the first three days, would cower when approached and have tail tucked-however after a few days Star Fox warmed up and became more comfortable with Finder. Star Fox interacted with Finder’s 10 year old child, playful and allowed petting, would at times jump up or whimper to solicit attention. It is reported Star Fox wasn’t bothered if anyone touched his Food while eating. During intake, Star Fox displayed a soft body and wagging tail, jumping up on everyone that approached him, he allowed petting and all handling. He pulled on leash for his relief walk. Star Fox held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, relaxed. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, body soft, open mouth. Star Fox ran ahead of assessor during Tag game, focused on other stimuli. He attempted to mount assessor during Squeeze positioning, requiring a reset walk out of the room. Once positioned, Star Fox did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, tail slightly wagging. He showed no interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as Finder reports that Star Fox enjoys chewing on hard toys. Star Fox approached the helper dog a bit quickly, multiple lip licks, slight whine. The Behavior Team feels Star Fox would do best with an Experienced adopter. He may benefit from a slow approach/slow introduction, as well as obedience classes to learn leash manners and no jumping up. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body, tail wagging. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog slightly leans in and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture, open mouth Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, runs ahead of assessor, focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog a bit quickly, body soft, tail well above spine level, ears forward, slight whine.

05/03/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Star Fox greets a female dog with a slightly tense body. He persistantly attempts to mount the female greeter. When greeting a male, Star Fox’s body appears much more tense. He also attempts to mount a male dog, and vocalizes then begins to growl when the male dog tries to move away. The behavior department recommends allowing Star Fox time to acclimate and decompress as the only resident dog in a new environment, before following up on his behavior around other dogs. 5/4 update: Star Fox is sexually motivated, and persistantly attempts to mount.
