Slow and gentile, walks well on lead

05/02/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Perhaps named after Twyla Tharp, our Twyla’s moves are slow, gentle, easy and classic. So quiet in her kennel, lying down and watching the activity pass her, she’s ready when I am, getting up to be easily leashed. Lovely on leash, her tail wags slightly when we talk to her, and in the park she eyes the other dogs quietly, hoping for a playdate. So respectful! In her first group play with both males and females, she greets politely and offers paw slaps to solicit play. Twlya looks like she’s been a mom a few times, has callouses on her pressure points and may not have had the cushiest life prior to joining us. Beautiful, soft and mellow eyes survey her new environment, and she’s a bit camera shy, turning her head away as I pointed the lens at her. Her eyes seem to say, I’ve done a lot, and experienced much and am ready to settle down to be the pampered pet I’ve always wanted to be. She’s a gem, enjoying a good massage from a volunteer, going nose to nose and wagging her tail gently at a small dog on a retractable leash that ran up to us, and has that mellow, sweet disposition that calls out ‘this is best friend material’. Twyla hated going back into her kennel, and as I kissed her goodbye I promised her a new person or family to love. Please help my promise to this gentle girl come true and ask to meet her today.

Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still with eyes averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is open. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. No interest. Summary: Twyla displayed no concerning behaviors during her assessment and was social throughout. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Tolerant: These dogs are typically non-reactive on leash and will be either friendly or indifferent off leash. They can typically tolerate some rude behavior from other dogs and can be described as having a long fuse. They show relaxed, appropriate, easy-going body language around others. PLAYGROUP: Twyla is polite and tolerant while engaging and engages in bouts of play with other playful dogs. Twyla may be most compatible with other gently playful or tolerant dogs. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/30/17 During her initial medical exam, Twyla was calm and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Twyla so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a medium level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
