04/10/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Spring is finally here and Amalia is ready to blossom into the dog loving, treat snuffling, soccer playing pet of your dreams! No one is keener to socialize than this beautiful girl and she lets me know loud and clear that the kennel life is not for her, vocalizing when she sees me and fairly leaping from her second-storey den in her eagerness to get out and about with a new friend. Amalia’s a great leash walker (though quite timid in the street) and seems to be house trained too as she uses the ‘little girls room’ almost immediately. She sits on command, takes treats very gently from my hand and absolutely adores other dogs, running to the fence to greet them with a happy tail and a big, friendly smile. Amalia may be pretty but she’s quite the tomboy at heart and watching her play with a ball is great entertainment for us both. Once I’ve thrown the tennis ball she’ll pick it up, drop it and then kick it all over the pen, play bowing and scampering so fast my camera can’t keep up before retrieving it, dropping it and starting the game all over again. Now that she’s aced her behavior assessment this gorgeous goofball is ready to leave for a real home and she’d make the perfect addition to almost any active family, especially one with some four-legged siblings. Spring is the time of year for new beginnings, can you give Amalia a fresh start of her own?

04/07/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Amalia walks calmly on leash. She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, wagging tail. She was calm and relaxed during handling. Amalia was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. She was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. Amalia was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Amalia did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. 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 likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Food 1. No interest. Toy 1. No interest. Rawhide 1. No interest. Dog – dog 1. Dog approaches the helper, soft body, tail neutral, but not playful. Helper:A1031765
