PROFILE

Cinnamon A1056924 is being surrendered because the owner cannot afford to keep her. She’s had her for 6 months. She received her as a gift from the previous owner. Her last vet visit was in 2015 and she has no known health issues.

Socialization: Cinnamon is nervous and tense around strangers. She is very protective of her owner and will bark at strangers. She is nervous around dogs and has not been around cats. She is fine around children as long as the owner is not around. She has not bitten anyone or any other animal.

Behavior: Cinnamon was walked 3 times a day. She goes potty indoors as well. She likes baths and nail trimmings and was regularly groomed. She is not bothered when taking her food bowl, toys or treats away. She sleeps in a basket on the owner’s bed. The owner states that she is having trouble training Cinnamon. She says that Cinnamon likes to go in the trash and goes potty indoors even after she is walked.

For a new family to know:  The owner describes her as protective, affectionate, friendly, playful, and excitable. She has a high activity level. She loves to play and likes to be pet. She follows the owner around the house and likes to be with the owner on her bed. She has plenty of toys. She has been mostly kept indoors. She was being fed wellness small bites.

Behavior during intake: Cinnamon was very fearful and was shaking in her owners arms. She allowed to be scanned but had wide eyes. she allowed me to leash her and collar her after speaking to her softly. I photographed her and transferred her into a kennel. I took her back out and sat her on my lap. She allowed me to pet her and she sat calmly as I typed.

BEHAVIOR

Cinnamon is fearful of the shelter environment she walks with a low and fearful body language, she tries to hide under the desk and chair. She was fearful and repeatedly attempted to get away from the handler during the assessment.  Cinnamon becomes extremely frightened during the tag interaction, tail tucked, and trying to exit room. She was not interested in toys.

She is fine around children as long as the owner is not around. She is not bothered when taking her food bowl, toys or treats away”. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter without children .  Cinnamon is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. Cinnamon has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Cinnamon is more comfortable and settled in a home environment.
