06/08/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jack came to our center as an owner surrender. It is reported he has been around a newborn baby and lived with a cat. He was very nervous and tense during intake, barking at admissions counselor. Jack was difficult to get out of the kennel for his relief walk, barking and lunging/biting at the rope. He raised his lip and tried to bite during Look item, so other tactile items were skipped. Jack had no interest in Food or Rawhide, with minimal interest in Toy, sniffing before walking away. Owner reports Jack as being playful with squeaky toys, stuffed toys, and balls, so this behavior may be manifesting due to the environment. Jack was also difficult to leash to return back to kennel, jumping up at assessor, vocalizing, and shaking his head to remove the rope. Due to Jack’s attempting to bite during tactile handling portions of the assessment, he must be placed with a New Hope partner. Look: 5. Dog freezes and/or growls or tries to bite. Food: No interest Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog may smell and/or lick, then turns away. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-to-Dog: No play. Nervous, no real interaction with others, roams.

Meet Jack the chi chi. This boy came into our care center as an owner surrender, and is very fearful here in the shelter. Due to a new family member addition Jack was surrendered because he did not like the new family member. This boy is in need of his new forever home that is peaceful and quiet without many changes in his environment. Pull him today from MACC!!!
