10/15/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Butterscotch was a bit shy and lost when she first arrived at the care center. At 8 months of age, she already lost her home and her family although she seems to have been well cared for. She was found attached to a pole and now she finds herself in a big new world full of people and other dogs…. A lot to absorb for a little girl…She walks well on the leash, seems to want to meet other dogs and even play bows to some. She was at first taken aback in playgroups with other pooches but found her balance and started to mingle and play. Butterscotch is a very pretty cinnamon color gal, well groomed and healthy looking. She comes when called and can sit on command. She is polite taking treats from my hand. I know she will come quickly out of her shell and I hope she will enjoy a ball game. Butterscotch can be met in our adoption quarters. Do ask for her, get to know her and hopefully, walk away with her as your new forever best friend.
10/11/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Butterscotch came into our center after a member of the public found her tied to a pole. She was friendly upon intake and allowed all handling. She was a bit hesitant and nervous of sudden movement and sound on her relief walk, flinching but continued to walk, no pulling. Butterscotch barked and whined to solicit attention in the SAFER assessment room at the beginning of the assessment. She jumped up and licked assessor’s face during Look item. Butterscotch was distracted during Sensitivity item, displacement sniffing with soft body, but accepted the touch. She followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft. Butterscotch did not pull her paw back on both Squeeze attempts. She lifted her head out of the Food bowl when assess-a-hand was applied to her cheek. Butterscotch enthusiastically engaged with Toy, keeping a firm grip with loose wiggly body. She took away Rawhide, body a bit stiff. When off leash with other dogs Butterscotch is a bit stiff when greeting but over time loosens up and begins to interact comfortably. The Behavior Team feels Butterscotch would do best in an Experienced home. She may benefit from puppy obedience classes in regards to any anxious behaviors that may manifest in the home as well as desensitization of loud noises and sudden movement. Look: 1. Dog leans forward or jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted. Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but accepts touch with soft body. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are back. Food 1.
