12/08/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: An all white candy cane with just a smattering of freckles on his nose, our Candy Cane is as sweet as the confection after which he was named. Fun and funny, he’s a big boy, well fed and perfectly groomed, who loves to make new friends. He pulls on the leash, so some leash training and/or a harness will help, he’s likely housetrained, sits when asked (after a little hop), looks like he knows how to shake paw (sometimes), and takes his reward treats gently. CC loves to play with toys, can be a little mouthy in play, and has a wonderful energy that will thrive with an active person or family. Putting his head in my lap for some petting, he closes his eyes at one point, savoring the connection and enjoying being stroked. Even the most active among us cherish the quiet snuggly moments! CC play bowed to a dog walking by our pen, and in play group engages in running play. CC is looking for a person or family who is the equal of his big personality. He’s an awesome dog, a hunk, happy to please, sweet, friendly, curious and energetic and ready to hunker down with you for the rest of his life.

12/07/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Candy Cane came into our center as a stray so behaviors in the home are unknown. He was very social and hyper during his initial medical exam, but allowed all handling. Candy cane pulled hard on leash for his relief walk, fixated on chewing the leash. He jumped up on assessor and assistant in the SAFER assessment room. Candy Cane allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tail wagging. He leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, appearing to calm down whenever pet or touched, tail wagging, ears back, mouth open. Candy Cane followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, very soft and wiggly, chewing leash as he ran. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, chewed leash at end of item. Candy Cane playfully engaged in Toy, keeping a firm grip with loose body and wagging tail. The Behavior Team feels Candy Cane would do best with an Experienced adopter. He may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners and focus, as well as not to jump up. He may benefit from being walked with a toy in his mouth. Candy Cane may benefit from daily mental and physical stimulation to positively direct his high energy, such as durable toys like stuffed Kongs and Nylabones. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, chews leash. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds.

12/05/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Candy Cane engages in running play with female dogs, often with the intent to mount. This appears to be sexually motivated behavior (Candy Cane is unaltered). He has not been introduced to a male dog while in our care. Based on observations made in our care center, the behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction before placement into a home with another dog. When off leash with other dogs Candy Cane engages in running play, but will stop and stand tall with the intent to mount. 12/8 update: Candy Cane engages in play but has intent to mount. When she does not engage in play he is forward and will not cease attempting to mount,despite correction being offered. 12/9: Candy Cane engages in play with another playful female dog, with the unltimate goal to mount (likely sexually motivated behavior).
