07/27/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/27/15 16:32 Behavior During Intake: Mabel is an American Pit Bull Terrier who is estimated to be about 8 years old. She was found in the street on 115th and Lenox and a bystander brought her to us. It appeared she had a problem with her back leg. When with staff she was wagging her tail, allowed us to pick her up, pet her and she also ate dog treats out of our hands. Mabel showed no signs of aggression during intake.

07/30/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A chunky senior angel who positively beams love and good cheer, Mabel is our resident ‘it girl’ and wherever she goes people are drawn to her like a magical magnet. She LOVES to socialize and offers a welcoming tail wag to all comers as her soft chocolate drop eyes silently appeal for more hugs, more kisses and especially more belly rubs! She has some hair loss in that area so her tubby middle is soft as velvet and impossible to resist. As a fellow volunteer massages her way from belly to butt, Mabel goes from blissed-out squinty eyes to ecstatic back leg ballerina stretches and her crowd of admirers (seriously, by this point we have an audience!) collectively awwwwwws over just how adorable she looks. Mabel does have some difficulty walking but she still gets around alright, hopping into and out of her den all by herself, doing all her business outside and even responding to ‘come’ and ‘sit’ like an old pro. As you might expect from her weight, Mabel has a very healthy appetite and she’s eager to snarfle a hot dog treat gently from my hand and then put on her best pleading puppy face once the supply runs out. Oh Mabel, how could I refuse you anything? There are so many wonderful pets at the Care Center but sometimes there is one who shines extra brightly. Believe me when I say that dog is Mabel, the once-in-a-lifetime soulmate you never knew you were missing.

07/31/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mabel walks calmly on leash. She was calm and relaxed during handling. Mabel was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. She did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Mabel took the toy and rawhide away but had soft body language. She was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Mabel did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that she can go to an Average home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Dog is likely crouching, may have long lip or lip lick. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Food 1. Dog lifts head and ceases eating when you reach to pull the bowl away Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Rawhide 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the rawhide. Dog – dog 1. Dog approaches the helper, soft body, tail neutral, but not playful. Helper: A1045558
