08/22/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Handsome, slender, well groomed, likely housetrained, excellent leash manners, social, tolerant and playful with other dogs in group, Simon was clearly someone’s companion before joining us as a ‘stray’. He’s easy to walk, greets dogs we pass with an easy tail wag, and he’s always happy to make a new friend. The name Simon means ‘he has heard’, and indeed, Simon is listening for his new person or family. He’s hoping, as are we, that they are just around the corner.

08/19/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Simon pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up. Simon was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Simon did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. He took the toy and the rawhide with a soft body language. Simon rushed in quickly during the dog-dog test, but showed no aggression. Simon is an active dog he need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. The behavior department feels that he can go to an experienced home. Look: 3.
