07/07/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Once upon a time Jerome was a playful wee puppy and it probably seemed cute when he tugged on the leash…So funny! What a sweet little clown! A few years passed and he grew into a strapping young lad; friendly, energetic and handsome as can be. He learned to come when called, sit on command and catch treats from the air and was soon a master at the game of fetch and the even more satisfying game of tennis ball deconstruction. Enjoying petting, snuggles and doggie socialization came as natural as breathing but in all this time there was one thing that Jerome’s former owner neglected to remedy (or perhaps even encouraged) until it became an obsession…’playing’ with the leash. Puppies need guidance and what’s adorable at 2 months old is not so cute when that same puppy weighs 50 plus pounds and has the pulling power of a freight train and while it’s clearly all a game to Jerome, no one else is laughing now. It’s the thrill of the tug that draws him in, as soon as the leash is dropped or untethered he releases his hold but as long as there’s someone at the other end of the rope he will jump, chew and pull for all he’s worth. Take the leash out of the equation and you have a beautiful, affectionate and attentive youngster who just wants to have fun and for all these reasons I like Jerome very much. But we have to be honest for his sake and for the safety of his new family — he belongs with a serious, experienced adopter fully committed to getting him the professional leash training he should have been given years ago. Jerome isn’t looking for sympathy and he doesn’t need a high-horse hero, what he needs is a firm but compassionate guardian who sees his potential and won’t give up if the going gets tough. In the right hands this beautiful, playful, loving guy could be magnificent…are you the one he’s been waiting for?
07/08/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jerome was difficult to remove from his kennel, he began biting at the leash, over-aroused, and did not calm down easily. Due to this leash biting behavior and Jerome’s focus on the leash we are unable to proceed with a behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.
