06/30/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Chili has come a long way. I met her in the beginning of her stay when it seemed that all she was really interested in was treats, treats and more treats. Although she still likes dry liver and roast beef, Chili is now rather seeking a relationship with her caretaker. She is quite cuddly, an excellent kisser and hugger and purrs with her head in my lap. Shelter and plenty of food, may be some antibiotics, have restored her coat that seems now intact and of a rich cinnamon color. Chili is quite a pretty girl, well nourished and healthy looking. She is very welcoming in her kennel, walks nicely on the leash and has shown me at each of our outings her housebreaking skills. Meeting other dogs in the street was never an issue but she has occasionally been uncomfortable around pushy pooches in playgroups. I like Chili. She is pretty, sociable, affectionate and well behaved. All what is needed now to make Chili’s wish is a wonderful adopter who will offer her a home and love. Chili is at the Manhattan Care Center. The same volunteer writes: Chili so knows her friends. She runs to her door when she sees me, sits and just waits to be leashed. At night, before I leave, I always treat her with a chew and that habit created a special bond between us… Chili is such a pleasant girl, a good walker and a wonderful ball player. She was so aloof at the begining of her stay and has transformed into a really nice dog to spend time with. I bet she would really make a lovely companion. Why don’t you stop by her den, ask to meet her and see for yourself. She most of the time lays or sits at the back, like the shy little mouse she is not…once she is out in the open…Chili is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

06/15/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Chili was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag. She was calm and relaxed during handling. She was calm and relaxed when playing tag with assessor. She showed mildly concerning behavior over the food bowl, stiffening and eating faster when the assessor attempted to push her out, but she did not escalate to a freeze, growl, or snap. She had minimal interest in the toy and took away the rawhide with a neutral body. Chili was brought to the care center as a stray and her finder reported that she was friendly and social. Upon intake, Chili was a bit tense and she low growled as counselor slowly approached her and began to bark and lunge at counselor at the site of the scanner and camera; she managed to relaxed, become lose and wiggly when offered a treat upon intake. Chili allowed for all handling to be conducted during the assessment and did not show any signs of aggression during the handling portion of the assessment. The Behavior Department recommends an experienced adopter who feels comfortable safely managing food guarding behavior in case similar behavior is seen in a home environment, and who will allow her to warm up to new people and new environments at her own pace. Due to Chili’s discomfort with having her food bowl moved while eating, we also recommend a home without young children. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. 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: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog gently places her open mouth over the Assessor’s hand without applying pressure. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Food 3. Dog gulps food, begins to eat faster and with bigger bites, body stiff. She lifts head when ample pressure from hand is applied to cheek. Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then walks away. Rawhide 2. Dog takes rawhide away, keeps a firm hold. Her body is between you and the rawhide, and she her body is not stiff. No growling or stiffness. Dog-Dog: Off leash Chili engages in gentle/dainty play with a calmer male. May be overwhelmed with a more high energy mate.

06/13/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
When off leash with other dogs, Chili engages in gentle/dainty play with a calmer male. She may be overwhelmed with a more high energy dog. 6/16 update: Chili overcorrected a male for sniffing her and then pursued the dog after he tried to move away. She was stopped when a loud auditory interupter was used.
