08/25/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/25/15 18:57 Profile wasn’t left due to lack of me understanding the owner and the owner not being able to understand the questionaire. Behavior During Intake: Francesco was brought into the facility on a leash by the owner. He was friendly with me and the staff and I was able to scan and handle him with no issues. He also comes from a home with children and he appeared to be fine when interacting with them.

08/29/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Francesco was nested very comfortably on his volunteer’s lap . His eyes were closing and opening, closing and opening. A little smile could be seen on his face. He was breathing peacefully, almost asleep. He looked so happy… The volunteer told me that he was very sweet, a good walker and seemed very nice with other dogs. Francesco is very cute and young, well nourished and his foxy coat is very well groomed. We know that he lived happily with children but his owner , unfamiliar with our language , could not leave much information about him…. So why is such a lovely pooch with us ? Francesco would suffer from seizures, a condition his former family was not equipped to deal with. We think that Francesco is worth his weight in gold…He is a really very endearing Chihuahua, a breed known for its loyalty to us, humans…Seizures are treatable, of course in experienced hands. Francesco needs you. His loving soul will be for ever thankful to the one who will open for him, his or her door and heart . Francesco is at the Manhattan Care Center, dreaming to be again part of a family.

08/28/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Francesco walks calmly on leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Francesco had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Francesco was not interested in toys or rawhide. He was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Francesco did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he 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, his eyes are averted, and his 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 low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Food: 1. Dog lifts head and ceases eating when you reach to pull the bowl away Toy: 1. No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog – dog: 1. Dog approaches the helper, soft body, tail neutral, but not playful. Helper: A1049076
