04/22/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: So quiet in his kennel, but welcoming of my leash, Gennadi is thrilled for the outing and a chance to go potty. We head first for the back yard where Gennadi finds his prize – a tennis ball!! Happy to chomp on it – but not pull it apart- Gennadi is a happy boy as he plays. His tail wags, his eyes sparkle as he bats the ball around and carries it around the pen. He drops the ball with the offer of a treat, gives me a nice ‘sit’, and then catches the treat on the fly. How rockstar is he?! After taking some pictures I leash him again, and we head outside, Gennadi carrying the ball with him. When we get to the street, Gennadi drops the ball in order to ‘go’, and picks it right up as we continue our walk. He is beyond adorable and I can’t help but laugh at his antics. His leash manners are excellent as he walks perfectly by my side, ball in his mouth! In group play he’s happy to be involved, not terribly interactive, but happy for the company of other dogs. Rocking his behavior assessment earning an ‘average’ rating meaning he’ll be a good fit in most homes, Gennadi is hoping to come home with you today. Bring a tennis ball, or we’ll supply one, and come meet our all-star today. He’s looking for a position on your home team and has earned it! Another volunteer writes: The world will never have enough dapper, distinguished older gentlemen in it, teaching the rest of us the meaning of elegance of spirit and kindness. Gennadi has been in the shelter since February, and he has borne it with such grace we are as stunned by that as by the fact that no one has swept in to swoop up this extraordinary pet–beautiful on a leash, a great playmate to people and dogs alike, social to all he meets, filled with joy, house trained, and gentle. You may come meet him because you feel sorry for him, and that’s as fine a motivation as any, because we know the minute you set eyes on him you will fall in love. Please, make room in your family for this wonderful dog!

04/10/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Gennadi came to us as a stray on 2/23/15. Upon intake it was reported by the finder that Gennadi is friendly toward strangers. Gennadi allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile items of the assessment without any signs of aggression, but showed some uncomfortable body language during the sensitivity test. On the sensitivity item Gennadi became stiff and turned very quickly with his muzzle toward the assessor. He proved a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. He took the rawhide away with soft body language, but showed no interest in the toy on this portion of the assessment. The behavior department believes that Gennadi would do best in a home with no small children. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 3. Dog repeatedly turns toward the Assessor’s hand with a very fast head movement. If able, he muzzle punches the hand. His body is a bit stiff and he has an open mouth. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Food: 2. Dog follows the dish with his tail down, body soft. Dog lifts head after a bit of pressure from hand to cheek. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy or rawhide, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness. Dog-Dog: When off leash with other dogs, Gennadi is interested in play and interacts well. He will corrects when appropriate.

03/14/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
