11/12/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Anyone that has ever met her talks about Treasure, it’s like you can see the heart being drawn around her spoken name. She is incredibly, unbearably, ridiculously, crazy sweet. She previously lived harmoniously with a cat (the cat made the rules) and another dog (who was also surrendered to our care, and is just as sweet!). She is as charismatic as they come; she makes eye contact that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever and has the most beautiful smile! She is easy to handle on leash and seems housebroken. She is well out of her puppy years, but still very playful and wiggly. She knows some commands, but “paw” usually turns into her propping both paws up and soaking up some lovin’ and “down” is the perfect excuse to roll over for belly rubs! She is very affectionate and diligently gives kisses. A volunteer on her first shift, already a little intimidated by Treasure’s size and strength, wasn’t quite sure what to do when Treasure immediately laid down on the floor when they reached the hallway. Treasure, though, was happy to fill in where training left off – slowly rolling over onto her back and adding one more fan to her many! It seems that for Treasure, anywhere and anytime are the best ones for belly rubs. And I’m sure that with her at your side, you’ll find that every where and every time are so much better than they’ve ever been! Please come meet her today!

Treasure previously lived with 1 adult, another pit-bull and a cat. The owner stated Treasure is tolerant of the cat and the cat likes to maintain the boundary for interactions and she is playful and affectionate with the other dog in the home. The owner mentioned Treasure has been exposed to small children and is exuberant in her play. It was mentioned by the owner Treasure is house trained but at times may have accidents inside, she is also well behaved when home alone. At intake it was reported Treasure was friendly and very energetic, she allowed all handling. During SAFER Treasure came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly, social and very playful towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Treasure joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Treasure was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Treasure appears to be a high-energy dog that will likely do best with an adopter prepared to provide mental and physical stimulation and appropriate outlets for his energy. The behavior department feels she can be suitable for an average adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. 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. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Treasure greets politely but is quick to offer correction when the other dog attempts to re-engage with her.
11/04/2015 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Treasure allows brief greeting but may become uncomfortable and offer correction if the other dog becomes too interested or energetic. Based on her behavior during playgroup, the Behavior Department recommends that Treasure can go to a home with a male dog and may be placed with a female dog but we recommend that a pre-adoption interaction be required. She seems to become uncomfortable with energetic dogs so we recommend she be placed with other calm dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Treasure greets politely but is quick to offer correction when the other dog attempts to re-engage with her. 11/6 update: Treasure allows brief greeting but is quick to offer correction if the dog attempts to interact for too long. 11/7 update: Treasure greets the other dog briefly and seems a bit uncomfortable but is mostly focused on interacting with the handlers. 11/9 update: Treasure greets the other dog but is anxious and paces around the yard most of the time. 11/10 update: Treasure may sniff the other dog briefly but is more focused on interacting with the handlers. 11/11 update: Treasure greets the other dog briefly and seemed more interested in interacting with the other dog today. 11/12 update: Treasure sniffs the other dog briefly but is more focused on interaction with the handlers.
