06/04/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: With the cutest little face on the planet, Wincey greeted me quietly from her kennel, ready for a walk. Surrendered by the only family she’s ever known as they don’t have time to care for her, we’re told that she loves children, is respectful of other animals (dogs and cats) is crate trained, loves water, doesn’t guard her things, and will bring a toy over to her person when she wants to play. Aww! She sleeps in her crate at night and likes white rice in her food. Wincey is a petite and slender girl, her brindle coat gleams, her weight is perfect for her size, and while she was a bit shy when we first met, she soon joined me on the bench giving me soft kisses. We’re told she knows ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘lay down’, doesn’t pull on leash (she didn’t) and while she seemed to startle easily at loud noises, it seemed more like initial anxiety at the newness of her situation. Wincey seems to like other dogs, running over to greet those that passed our pen, and in her first group play session, greeted the helper dog with an easy tail wag. She’s delicious, sweet, low key and ready to begin her happily ever after with a new person or family. Run, don’t walk, and ask to meet our Wincey today. A volunteer updates: Sing it with me: “Once in love with Wincey, always in love with Wincey…” And it’s so true. I loved her when she was first with us, and I love her now. Returned as someone in the adoptive home was not treating her well, Wincey is snuggly, happy, gorgeous, delighted to be out for a walk to show off her housetraining skills, good on leash and a total wiggle butt with everyone she meets. Wincey loves playing with toys, loves to snuggle, gives everyone she meets a sweet kiss and is adorablicious! Yes, it’s worth adding a few words to the dictionary to describe this little peanut! Her kennel card is already filled with love notes from volunteers who’ve spent time with her. Using another cliché: “To know her is to love her”. Her former owner tells us she’s active, playful and enjoys long walks. We were also told that she was put into a crate for “punishment” and told ‘no’, and as a result now associates a crate with bad things and is frightened by yelling. Dogs are resilient, amazing creatures and all of that will be put behind her when she finds her new, loving home.

06/03/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Wincey remains highly human-social and affectionate outside with her caretakers, but she is beginning to show signs of distress inside the kennel. She is easily aroused in her kennel and may lunge and bark at dogs walking by. She is also beginning to spin in her kennel. Due to this behavioral deterioration and Wincey’s stress level, we recommend that she move into a home environment as quickly as possible. We feel she remains appropriate for an adopter with an average amount of experience. 5/31 update: In an adoptive home briefly, Wincey was described as playful and active. Based upon her experiences in that home, Wincey may have developed a negative association with the crate (though she is noted to be both crate trained and house trained). We recommend that the crate be made a positive place again through giving treats and meals in the crate and through free access to rest in it as she pleases. The crate should never be used as a punishment. We also advise that Wincey is frightened by yelling and recommend that harsh tones not be used with her. However, Wincey did not escalate to human correction or to being pushed into a crate in her previous home, so she shows a high level of tolerance. We feel that she is appropriate for an adopter with an average amount of experience, though we advise that she is a high energy dog who will likely do best in an active home where she is provided consistent mental and physical stimulation and exercise. 5/10 SAFER: Wincey pulls a bit on leash. She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, wagging tail. She was calm and relaxed during handling. Wincey did a lot of jumping up, body checking and mouthy the assessor with a moderate pressure during tag interaction. She took the toy with a soft body language. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1.Stands still and accepts touch, eyes averted, tail in neutral position, relaxed body posture. Mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 3. Dog responds with her tail high, ears forward, mouth likely closed for at least half of the assessment item, body stiff and body checks the Assessor. Dog is often focused on other stimuli in the room. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy.

05/09/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Wincey engages in bouts of play with other dogs, at times offering correction when overwhelmed, or for mounting. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction to ensure compatability with resident dogs. Her previous owner cites: “She has been around other dogs and cats and she is respectful of them” 5/9: When off leash with other dogs, Wincey greets the helper dog politely with a small wag. 5/10 update: Wincey briefly shows interest when solicited with play, and becomes bouncy. However, when play becomes more exuberant, she offers a correction and backs away. 5/11 update: Wincey engages briefly in play, in short bursts. After extended time she becomes increasingly anxious and runs frantically throughout the yard. 5/12 update: Wincey engages in bouncy play in a group of playful large and small dogs. 5/13 update: Wincey engages in bouncy play but tenses and vocalizes when solicited with rough play. 5/14 update: Wincey solicits running play with a group of females. She offers correction if mounted. 5/31 update: Wincey engages in play with other dogs. 6/1 update: Wincey engages in play, offering bows and ‘paw slaps’. She offers correction for mounting. 6/2 update: Wincey displays playful behavior, however does begin to pursue and carry on hard corrections for mounting or pushy play. 6/3 update: Wincey continues to display the above behaviors.
