03/07/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Native American in origin, the name Anuk means ‘popularity’, and based on the number of accolades this boy has on his kennel card I would say he is perfectly named! Friendly, easy, playful, tail waggy with just the perfect amount of energy, Anuk walks nicely on the leash, pulling slightly from time to time to get to the next best place. As we walk down the street he stops in front of every doorway we pass, perhaps wondering if his people are behind the door, or that’s the entry door to his next home? Only he knows what he’s thinking, but he clearly had a purpose. He’s likely housetrained ‘going’ as soon as we were outside, and his tail wags as we walk. Off leash in the back he explored our pen, running back for hugs when I called him. He listens to the birds chirp, following their sound overhead. Smart, alert, good looking and a sweetheart, he sits for a treat as soon as he sees my hand go in my bag, and then takes it so gently. Anuk is ready to move into his new home….will it be behind Door #1? Let’s make a deal and get Anuk home!

03/05/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Anuk pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up. Anuk was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Anuk did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. He was not interested in toys or rawhide. Anuk rushed in quickly during the dog-dog test, but showed no aggression. Anuk is an active dog he need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Anuk needs an adopter that provides him long walks someone that loves to run or walk long distance. Look: 3. Dog jumps on the Assessor, consistently rubs his shoulder on the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 2.
