07/30/2009 WEB MEMO
VOLUNTEER WROTE: As I was about to leave the shelter one day, two volunteers said, “You’ve got to photograph Gordon. He’s the greatest!” “How is he the greatest?” I asked. They told me how he walks nicely on a leash, and once they arrived at the park with Gordon, he hopped up on the bench beside them to snuggle and give kisses. And so far, they said, he basically has ignored other dogs. Gordon is a 1-1/2 year old Shiba Inu mix who arrived here as a stray on 7/28/09. He weighs 43 pounds. And he is absolutely gorgeous.

During SAFER Magic came into the assessment room nervous and tense, not all handling items were able to be conducted as Magic tried to bite the assessor when attempting to put the leash on him. He displayed no interest in any of the resource items during this portion of the assessment. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Food: 1. No interest. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs Magic is uncomfortable and will bare teeth and growl when the helper dog approaches him. He will run away from interaction.
