06/19/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/19/15 20:56 Zoey was surrendered due to toy guarding behavior displayed as her new adopters took her home. During intake, she was friendly and allowed all petting, but growled if anyone moved to take the toy from her; and while she would drop the toy for a treat, she would very rapidly snap it back up again. She would also growl while pushing her head into the handler’s side; the growling increased as the attempts to remove the toy continued.

A volunteer writes: Zoey … What a beautiful girl … Such a delight to be with … In my mind, one magnificent dog, in every way. From the moment I saw her, I knew this doggie was going to give one lucky owner and family the time of their lives, and chock full of heart felt experiences and lasting memories. With her gorgeous gray and white coat and her perfectly placed patched design on her face, “Wow what a looker!”. With her cute white paws and her tender, playful nature, who could ask for more. Zoey is at the perfect age to come in your life, at just 6 months old she’ll be so easy to teach all the right things, every good doggie should know as a pet … Like “Sit”, “Stay” and hopefully “Fetch”, “Wont that be fun!” … Zoey shows all the signs of going that route, and the rest is up to you. On our walk, Zoey was a good, good girl and did her business outside and not in her kennel, “Good, good doggie!” And Zoey didn’t pull too, she was mindful of me, as her walker, “Yeah Zoey!!!”. Believe you me, dogs want to do nothing more, than to be guided in the right direction … Because there are no bad dogs, only dogs that have been taught through a misguided handler, negative behavior. So with all these good thoughts in mind, let’s think another … Adopting a dog is one fantastical experience, one that can bring joy to both your life, your family, and of course the wonderful animal you’ll be adopting. Wont you please come into our Brooklyn Care Center today and meet with Zoey, her future is depending on it. “Make a difference … Adopt a pet today!”.

06/22/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Zoey has shown some potential guarding issues while in the care center. In addition to the growling over food reported by her previous owner, Zoey also growled over a new toy she was given while in a car. She did not escalate to snapping or biting and would take treats but immediately picked the toy back up with a tense body. She did not show this behavior during her SAFER and has been given toys in the kennel without issue, but we feel that this behavior needs additional follow up in a stable home environment and possible positive reinforcement-based behavior modification to address this guarding behavior. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner at this time. 6/12 SAFER: Zoey came to us as an owner surrender on 5/9/15. It was reported that Zoey has lived with two adults and a 6 year old child. She was described as being relaxed, playful and respectful towards everyone in the household. The owner also stated that Zoey will growl if someone touches her food bowl while she is eating. Upon intake she was recorded as being docile and allowed all handling. Zoey allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items without displaying any signs of aggression. However, she did become quickly over aroused on the tag test and is quick to use her mouth in play and has poor body awareness, resulting in her mouthing handlers with moderate pressure. She proved a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. Because of her high-energy Zoey will likely do best with an experienced adopter who is prepared to provide mental and physical stimulation and appropriate outlets for her energy. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 3. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Becomes quickly over aroused, mouths the assessor with moderate pressure, and jumps on assessor strongly. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog gently places her open mouth over the Assessor’s hand applying moderate pressure. Squeeze 2: 2. Dog gently places her open mouth over the Assessor’s hand applying moderate pressure. Food: 2.

Rawhide: 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then walks away.
