04/15/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
4/15/15 Honest’s family bred him at home. His father is an APBT and his mother is half APBT and half Lab. Honest’s family is moving to a home that doesn’t allow pets. Honest lived with adults, teenagers, and a 1-5 year old child. The child grew up with him and they were best friends. Honest is relaxed, playful, gentle, and tolerant with him. Honest is friendly with strangers but barks at them in their home. His family thinks this is because one of the teenagers has noisy friends that teased/provoked him. They keep him in a crate when strangers come over. He’s friendly with familiar people in their home. He hasn’t bit anyone. Honest avoids and walks passed dogs outside, sometimes staring at them. He got loose once and fought with a small dog (no blood drawn). He lived with his mom and had play dates with another large female dog. He was relaxed, playful, and played exuberantly with them. He lived with 2 cats and was relaxed, playful, respectful, and tolerant with them. He played with them when they wanted to and left them alone when they didn’t want to. Honest’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, smart, and high activity. He likes butt scratches and sitting in people’s laps. He sits up like a person in chairs. He follows his family sometimes and settles in favorite spots. He plays fetch and chase and likes bones, water bottles, and chew toys, but will chew them apart if they’re not durable. Honest lived inside and slept on the bed or couch. He ate dry Pedigree food. He went for brisk walks and played in the yard and will potty anywhere outside. Honest is housetrained and doesn’t have accidents. He’s well-behaved when home alone. He’s crated when people come over and barks. He ran through the gate in his yard while outside with his owners. He knows sit, down, shake, jump, and roll over. Honest chews water bottles. He plays when someone takes his bone/toy. He doesn’t mind when someone takes his food, moves him off furniture, brushes him, holds/restrains him, wakes him up, or approaches his owner. He’s nervous but tolerant during baths. He doesn’t mind storms. Honest was slightly tense and panting a little during intake. He approached and stood close to me often. He wagged his tail while I pet, scanned, collared, switched leashes, and photographed him. He didn’t react much to dogs passing in the hallway (he didn’t stare at them or move towards them or away from them).

04/19/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Butt scratches seem to the quickest way to Honest’s heart, an engaging and energetic pup with a “waggity wag” tail! Not only does he do a happy dance, but he leans against you, slender frame and all, as he gleefully expresses his joy. A butt scratch – that’s all it takes to become his friend. And then you learn that Honest also loves to play ball, retrieving and then dropping the ball for more play. Honest’s former owner left wonderful comments for his new family, including a note that he was “best friends” with children in the household with whom he “grew up”. He has also lived with cats, which he left alone when they were not in the mood for play; plus, he played exuberantly with a neighbor’s large dog. Honest has a great smile and a personality that can lighten up any cloudy day. Won’t you be his new best friend?
