10/13/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
10/13/15 13:14 Hawthorn was found tethered in the garbage area of an apt building. She’s covered in dirt/grease/soot and appears to have an isabella/lilac (dilute liver) colored coat, but may actually be yellow, tan, etc. once cleaned off. Her finder cared for her for 4 days. He reports that she’s was friendly, relaxed, affectionate, and played exuberantly with everyone she met-strange adults and strange children (ages 8-10) in the home as well as dogs she met outside. She seemed housetrained as she only pottied when she went for walks and didn’t go potty inside. Hawthorn had a loose, wiggly body and fast wagging tail during intake and handling-scan (-), collar, switching leashes, petting, positioning for pictures, medical exam/vaccines, and putting into a kennel. She took treats gently. She remained wiggly and tried to lick us during her vaccines. She was easy to encourage to walk into her kennel.

10/17/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Reclining like a princess on her throne (her doggie bed), Hawthorne wagged her tail gently and stood easily as she watched me unlatch her door. She took my breath away when she stood, her easy elegance and gorgeous latte color coat are stunning. Hurrying out the door she went potty as soon as we hit the street. Hawthorne pulls on the leash and will benefit from a harness and/or some leash training, and after a walk we head for the backyard. Hawthorne LOVES playing with a ball, able to amuse herself tossing it around, or bringing it back to me for another throw. She does a puppy pounce on the ball each time she approaches it and it’s the cutest thing ever to watch. Her playful pounce is so cute it attracted attention from staffers in another pen. Wagging her tail at dogs in other pens, in her first group she was a bit selective and assertive, so may need to learn better group play manners. Joining me on the bench Hawthorne gives me sweet kisses and we hug and share a moment. With a gorgeous ear to ear grin that lights up her face, her runway model legs and playful good nature will make her a perfect fit in an active home. Hawthorne was found tethered in a garage and her finder had her home for 4 days before she was able to bring her to our care. She stated that Hawthorne played nicely with her children, was good with strangers as well as her dog, and is likely housetrained. This gorgeous, playful girl is looking for her happily ever after. Will it be with you?

10/15/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Hawthorne a bit on leash. She was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, wagging tail. She was calm and relaxed during handling. Hawthorne did a lot of jumping up, body checking during tag interaction. She did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Hawthorne was not interested in toys or rawhide. Hawthorne show a bit of concern during the tag interaction she became a bit over arousal. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. 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: 3. Dog responds with her tail high, ears forward, mouth likely closed for at least half of the assessment item, body stiff and body checks the Assessor. Dog is often focused on other stimuli in the room. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her 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.

10/15/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Hawthorne has shown a concerning level of arousal when both on and off leash with other dogs. When off leash she becomes stiff and will assert herself over other dogs by jumping on them and growling. On leash she becomes focused on other dogs; pulling toward them and has shown a potential to redirect onto her handler when moving her away. Based on the observations made during playgroup, the behavior department feels that Hawthorne would be most comfortable in a home without other dogs at this time. When off leash with other dogs, Hawthorne is forward and assertive when greeting the male helper, jumping on his back, stiffening and growling. 10/17 update: Hawthorne greets a female politely but becomes stiff when introduced. She will chase the other dog and attempt to get on top, all while growling. She will slow down when offered handler correction but will go back and continue to pursue. 10/21: Hawthorne is a bit stiff when approached by a male dog. She corrects some solicitation.
