04/21/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: WARNING! I am going to be super praise-worthy in this bio. This cutie-patootie is O’Conner. Smushed face, pink nose, low-rider body, stunning golden eyes, and flappy lips and jowls, this boy is a sight to behold. Aside from his obvious good looks, O’Conner is the perfect package as far as personality goes. He’s happy and affectionate, smart and explorative. O’Conner appears to be extremely housetrained and walks nicely on the leash. He is food motivated, and though at times he gets pushy with the treats, he will work for them and takes them nicely from your hand. When I put my bag up out of his reach, O’Conner sought it out (it had the treats in them of course) and then looked back at me as if to say, “Did you forget something in there?” While in the yard, O’Conner was pleasant and wagged his tail at another male dog through the fence, both seeming to act as if they’ve known each other for years. But O’Conner was more interested in me, his new friend. He repeatedly approached me for petting, pushing his head into mine, encouraging me to rub his big blockhead. And as I sat on the bench, he flopped himself over my legs, taking in the sights around him, periodically licking my face as if to thank me for letting him enjoy the beautiful day. I could go on and on with my praises for O’Conner, but you’ll never really know how great he is ’til you ask to meet him at the Brooklyn ACC!

04/22/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
O’Conner was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body, low wag. He was calm and relaxed during handling. He was calm and relaxed when playing tag with assessor. O’Conner and cannot be pushed out of the food bowl, but his body remained neutral and did not growl, snap or bite. He was playfully engaged with the toy and kept a firm grip but remained loose and wiggly and had minimal interest in the rawhide. O’Conner came to the care center as a stray. Upon intake, he was playful and affectionate. Although O’Conner could not be pushed out of the food bowl he did not become stiff. The Behavior Department believes O’Conner can go to an Average home that understands he would benefit from learning trade up games or being taught a “leave it” command if taking away resources, such as food, is necessary. 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 stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his 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: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft and comes toward the Assessor in a friendly manner when the Assessor ceases moving. Squeeze 1&2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Food: 3. Dog follows the dish, his tail is neutral, ears relaxed. His body neutral. Dog does not lift his head from the bowl when hand is applied to his cheek. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Rawhide: 1. Minimal interest in rawhide, dog may smell, licks and mouths, then turns away. Dog-Dog: When off leash with other dogs, O’Conner is polite and friendly with a female dog.
