05/01/2017 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes: When I first interacted with Torro, he immediately was very sweet. He catches everyone’s attention with those big, brown, beautiful eyes of his. When I call out to him, he comes right away and lays his head in my lap. For the past almost 2 weeks since his arrival I have been visiting him in his kennel or taking him out in the play yard and overall just spending time with him. He loves to jump up to give hugs, he lets you pet him anywhere, and, he loves giving me a bunch of kisses!! He loves to play and run around and he just is so sweet that I look forward to seeing him first thing when I get here at work. But I look forward to seeing him find his forever home even more, because he desreves that chance!! Torro IS A MUST CHECK OUT!!!

04/25/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 4/18/17 Intact Male, Stray Other notes: Upon intake Torro was loose and wiggly, he allowed all handling. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 4/25/17 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 likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag:2. Dog follows softly buts mounts the assessor constantly. 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. Summary: Torro was friendly but also sexually motivated throughout the assessment. PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Torro was initially able to engage in cooperative play with a female dog, but has begun to persistently mount male and female dogs. Torro was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Torro go to a home with resident dogs that tolerant of his mounting behavior and that he be given adequate time to decompress from the shelter environment. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/18/17: During his medical examination, Torro was friendly and allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Torro so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _x_ No dog parks: Due to Torro’s persistent mounting, and the propensity for that behavior to not be received well by other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that he initally not be taken to dog parks until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed in a more controlled setting. _x_ Anxiety-Torro has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining) continually through play sessions outside. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Torro, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment.
