Exam Type BEHAVIOR

KNOWN HISTORY: None 8/7/17 Unaltered Female, Stray Other notes: SAFER ASSESSMENT: 8/9/17 Look:1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity:1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her 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. Squeeze 1& 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Summary: Nova was friendly and affectionate towards the assessor. PLAYGROUP: When off leash at the Care Center, Nova enters the pen with a neutral posture. She investigates the area, mostly keeping to herself. She becomes tense around the novel male and female dog. Nova was brought in as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department believes that Nova would be most comfortable as the only dog in the home, however if she is to be placed in a home with another resident dog, the other dog should be well socialized and match her calm demeanor. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 8/7/17: Upon intake Nova was calm and allowed all handling. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 8/8/17: During her medical examination, Nova was friendly with her tail wagging, she allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Nova so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
