09/05/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: An affectionate gentleman of a certain age who knows he has no business being stuck in a lonely kennel when he could be out adventuring, Mr Stoney is always at the top of my must-walk list at the Care Center. If I had to describe him in one word it would be ‘refreshing’ and like an unexpectedly cool breeze on a humid day he’s a welcome respite from everyday stresses, a dog whose zest for life makes the world seem suddenly that much brighter. He’s usually up at the front of his kennel begging to be noticed, just so excited to get outside and taste the sweet air of freedom. Stoney walks well on leash, responds promptly to my voice and seems quite house trained too and as we make our way down the street he acknowledges passing dogs with keen interest and happy tail wags. Walking through the park his curious nose snuffles for hidden treasure and when a few treats drop to the ground he finishes gently vacuuming the rest from my hand before making sure he tracks down every last piece in the long grass. Stoney is fascinated by all the baseball games and picnickers and those cute gremlin ears are constantly up and on the alert for sounds of summer fun he could be joining in with. He may be too excited to sit still for long but once I have him in my arms he lets me hug and smooch him any which way I please and even returns the favor with his own flurry of sweet little chin kisses. According to his former owner he could have some anxiety issues over being left alone and a forever home where he can share lots of attention and exercise with family would be his idea of heaven. Stoney is young at heart, full of love and ready for the adventure of a lifetime…are you?

08/30/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Stoney came to our center as an owner surrender but no information was given other than he chewed through a door. He was friendly upon intake, politely approaching employees with loose body and allowed all handling. Stoney held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, tail wagging. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, ears back, lip lick. Stoney followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft, settling easily at end of game. He did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Stoney allowed the Food dish to be moved but required a bit of pressure to lift his head out of the bowl. He playfully engaged with Toy, firm grip, loose, wiggly body. Stoney took Rawhide away, body a bit stiff. Stoney approached the helper dog by rushing in, tail at spine level, ears forward, body not relaxed. He stopped before getting all the way to the helper dog, somewhat frozen, slightly vocal. Due to potential possessiveness, the Behavior Team feels Stoney would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. Any older children should have an in-depth interaction before considering adoption. Stoney may benefit from obedience classes and crate training in regard to anxiousness when left alone in the home, as well as learning the drop it command and trade up games. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, mouth closed, lip long, ears back, lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed . Food: 2. Dog follows the dish with his tail down, body neutral. Dog lifts head after a bit of pressure from hand to cheek. Toy 1: 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: 3. Dog takes rawhide away, keeps a firm hold. His body is a bit stiff. Dog-dog: 3. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with his tail at spine level, body not relaxed, head tall, and ears erect. Did not fully approach, stopped and froze, slightly vocalized.
