A volunteer writes:   HI!  My name is Ten…maybe because they think I’m 10 months old?  Or maybe because I’m going to love you TEN thousand thousand thousand times?  I get lots of ‘awwwwws’ when I go for a walk, as I’m tiny and shy and I’d really prefer to be snuggling than walking on leash.  I let my new friend, Volunteer, put a coat on me because it was cold and we walked to the park.  I haven’t had much practice walking on leash but did pretty well, ’cause I’m smart like that.  I also know how to sit for a treat, and take it gently so I don’t hurt your fingers.  I was happy to see other dogs as we walked, and then I had a chance to meet a couple off leash in the yard.  It was fun!  I’m a bit shy but liked to play. My favorite thing though was snuggling with my human friend; she laughed at me as I climbed into her lap and gave her kisses.  She called me a “Velcro dog” whatever that means as I sat by her feet when she wrote stuff on a piece of paper.  She called them ‘notes’.   I do need a little TLC for my coat as I have some patches of thinning fur because I didn’t get the best food where I lived before.   I’m ready to be your best friend and love you TEN hundred thousand million times, so come meet me and lets snuggle together forever and ever!

Behavior:

Ten walks calmly on leash.  She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag. Ten was calm and relaxed during handling. She was calm and relaxed when playing tag with assessor. She took the toy away but had soft body language. Ten did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she 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, 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. Follows at end of leash, body soft, ears back, wagging tail.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw.
