08/24/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Zeus came into our center as an owner surrender citing landlord issues. It is reported he lived with an 18 month old child, played gently, even if child played too rough. Owner states Zeus lived with large and small dogs, as well as lived with kittens. It is reported he will growl if Food is taken away, allows toys to be taken away. He is described as friendly, affectionate, and independent. During intake, Zeus stayed close to owner, allowed collaring but snapped at counselor when attempting to pick him up. Zeus allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands. He stood still for Sensitivity item, soft. Zeus did not follow at the end of the leash for Tag game, though this may be due to medical reasons. He was unresponsive to each pass on Tag. Zeus did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He showed no interest in Toy. The Behavior Team feels Zeus would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have Young Children. He will benefit from a calm, quiet, structured environment at home. 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.
