Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Kemo came into our center as an owner surrender citing landlord issues. It is reported he lived with children ages 9-14 and is relaxed, playful, and tolerant with them. Kemo is reportedly friendly and outgoing with strangers. Owner reports Kemo is housetrained to go outside on grass and dirt. Kemo had a soft body during intake, often leaning into admissions counselor and putting face in counselor’s lap. Kemo pulled hard on his relief walk. He came into the SAFER assessment room with a lot of energy, investigating the whole room. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tail wagging, body soft. Kemo leaned in during Sensitivity item, tail wagging. He was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game. Kemo did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, tail wagging. He lifted his head out of the Food bowl when assess-a-hand was applied to his cheek. Kemo playfully engaged with Toy, keeping a firm grip with a loose wiggly body, play bowing and engaging assessor. He engaged briefly/minimally with Rawhide, but quickly lost interest. Off leash with other dogs, Kemo greets politely. The Behavior Team feels Kemo would do best with an Experienced adopter.

10/18/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Kemo is tolerant and will engage in play with a solicitous female. Based on his interactions in the shelter the behavior department feels that Kemo can go to a home with a social female. He has not interacted with another male, so a pre-adoption interaction is recommended for a home with a male dog. When off leash with other dogs, Kemo greets politely. He is a bit sexually motivated. 10/20 update: Kemo briefly attempts to solicit play. 10/21, 10/22 update: Kemo engages in play with a playful female.
