08/05/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes Julie is a stunning girl with a gorgeous smile made all the more devastating by how little we see it at the Care Center. She’s trying hard to keep up a brave face and likes to get out and about, enjoys petting (especially back rubs) and is never anything but soft and gentle when meeting new friends of both the human and canine persuasion yet there’s a sadness in her eyes that no amount of walking, snuggles or playgroup can heal. It’s clear Julie misses her family and she roams the yard in search of a way back home, peering hopefully through the gate as if each passing person might just be her person, the one to whom she gave so many years of loyalty and friendship. Out in the street she walks calmly and sniffs thoroughly, showing off her seemingly impeccable house training skills by doing all her business within minutes and then waiting patiently for me to gather up the evidence. Julie is a lady first and foremost so it’s no surprise she did very well on her behavior assessment, earning praise for her calm nature and soft body language and scoring a great ‘rating’ that says she’d be a wonderful fit for almost any home. There’s only one cure for darling Julie’s summertime blues and it’s the loving arms of a forever family and the sweet feel of her very own bed as she settles down for the night, safe and secure in the knowledge that this time she’s home for keeps.
08/03/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Julie was a bit aloof when entering the assessment, but would approach when called with a soft body and low wag. She was calm and relaxed during handling. She was not fearful but did not engage in the game during tag and stood unresponsive to touch but approached at the end of the game. Julie did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. She had no interest in toys or rawhide. Julie was brought to the care center as a stray; upon intake, Julie had a wiggly body and wagging tail allowing for all handling to be completed and was relaxed, rolling over to receive belly rubs while in the admissions office. Throughout the assessment Julie remained calm and although she was a bit aloof she allowed all handling and would come whenever called, with a soft body. The Behavior Department feels Julie can go to an average home. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is open. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful but unresponsive when touched and does not engage in the game. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Squeeze 1&2: 2. Dog is a bit tense but does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are back. Food 1. Dog calmly allows the food to be moved, follows the dish, but does not interfere with the dish’s movement. Dog’s body is soft and loose, eyes soft, tail neutral. She lifts her head when hand is pushed against her cheek. Toy 1. No interest. Rawhide 1. No interest. Dog – dog 2.
