11/14/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Violet is not a fan of her kennel…If she could, she would leash herself and go for a walk… Cropped ears have not taken away Violet’s girly looks…She looks absolutely delicious and petite in her little grey dress. We are quickly in the street as Violet has to attend to business. She pulls a little on the leash and toward other dogs, big and small. In playgroups with his peers, though, she is polite and social and engages in play. Free in a pen, Violet is all wiggle and wag….Her tail disappears in a blur . She comes on my lap for kisses. She is one friendly character and quite sociable too, putting a nice smile for staff who come to say hello. She sits on command with or without treats that she takes politely from my hand. I sense that under her sweet looks, Violet is a gal with character. I am looking forward to meeting her again and learn more about her. Meanwhile, come and meet her soon at the Manhattan Care Center. She might be your next forever best friend.

Summary: Violet displayed no behavioral concerns on her assessment. 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: 11/12: When off leash with male and female dogs Violet is polite and social. She engages briefly in play but ceases once the male dog repeatedly attempts to mount her despite correction. She will, afterward, seek attention from handlers. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/11/16 During her initial medical exam Violet allowed handling and appeared friendly. ENERGY LEVEL: IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Violet has been observed to displayed a low threshold for frustration on leash, she has been observed to lunge/growl at passerby on leash. Violet remains human-social with caretakers in the shelter and has displayed no other concerns though due to these observations, an experienced home is recommended. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with an previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control (It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended.) _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
11/12/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Upon first meeting dogs Violet is typically tense but once given time to sniff everyone, she engages in bouts of play. She will offer loud correction once no longer interested in engaging or if mounted and will continue snapping/barking even when the dog is moving away from her and typically needs handler intervention to stop. The behavior department recommends slow introductions between Violet and other social, respectful resident dogs. 11/12: When off leash with male and female dogs Violet is polite and social. She engages briefly in play but ceases once the male dog repeatedly attempts to mount her despite correction. She will, afterward, seek attention from handlers. 11/16-19: Violet engages in bouts of running play, and begins to offer correction once overwhelmed. 11/22-23: Violet is tense when she enters the yard and needs time to warm up. She then begins to engage in running play with males and females. Violet offers loud corrections if mounted and will continue to follow the dog until the handler intervenes.
