12/08/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Tomtom is hubba hubba handsome and fun fun FUN! Outgoing, athletic and full of energy, this snowy-coated hunk knows what he wants (toys toys toys!), and isn’t afraid to leap for the sky to get them either, but he’s a good boy at heart, never guarding his things and following ‘come’ and ‘sit’ commands like a champ. He does pull on leash but seems quite house trained, and with a nice harness and his bottomless appetite for treats, I’m sure he’ll learn quickly. Tomtom loves back rubs, butt rubs and general all-over-his-body rubs, and just can’t get enough of socializing with people, and while his manners may be a bit pushy for more reactive dogs, that silly blur of a tail never stops wagging regardless of his reception. Smart but goofy, strong yet snuggly, and always on the lookout for new adventures and toys tough enough to withstand hours of playtime, Tomtom would thrive in a family as social and extroverted as he is. ‘Oh, I love Tomtom!’ was the reaction from staff when I returned him to his kennel, and I couldn’t agree more, he’s larger than life and so ready to get out and live it. Will you be the lucky one to welcome him into yours?
12/27/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None Unaltered, Stray Other notes: Upon intake Tomtom allowed all handling. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/21/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. 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 closed. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game. He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Flank used due to medical: Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Flank squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. Minimal interest, dog sniffs toy. Summary: Tomtom displayed no behavioral concerns on his assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Tomtom appears neutral in the presence of other dogs. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/19/16 During his initial medical exam Tomtom was social and allowed all handling. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Though Tomtom remains social with handlers he has shown concerning behaviors around other dogs as well as concerning resource guarding. When he has a toy or other similar object Tomtom stiffens and when a handler nears he quickly stiffens and snaps. When around other dogs (on-leash) Tomtom remains neutral until the distance decreases and he quickly stiffens, growls and begins to snap—he is not able to be distracted. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended as aversive methods may heighten fear level and increase the risk of future aggression. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_Place with a New Hope partner _X_Resource guarding (Tomtom, potentially as a result of his lengthy stay in the care center, has shown the potential to guard his toys. He will stiffen and snap when the handler is nearby while he has a toy) _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration (Tomtom has shown the potential for barrier frustration with other dogs, growling and snapping when he is close. Exercising caution is recommended while walking Tomtom around other dogs on the street.
