PROFILE:

Lucky is a 11 year old male neutered poodle mix dog who is being surrendered because the family can no longer take care of him.  Lucky has been with the family for 10 years.

Lucky lived with 4 adults and 1 small child.  Lucky is described to be very tolerant of the child and affectionate with the family but is also independent.  Lucky is very insistent on leash when walking and gets very aroused by other dogs he sees on walks.  He is house broken and does not have accidents inside.

Lucky is reported to be good at the groomers for bathing and nail trims.  He will not guard his food but will flee with his bowl if he feels someone is going to take it and will do the same with toys.  Lucky does not mind being handled.

Lucky enjoys stuffed animals that he likes to destroy and does not play any games with the owners.  When the family is home he likes to be where they are and when alone he is well behaved.  Lucky enjoys wet food. When strangers approach he will alert the family.

Upon intake Lucky was receptive to introduction and was loose for all handling.  Counselor was able to scan for microchip (negative) and collar.  Lucky walked well on leash and was responsive to guidance.

SAFER: AVERAGE HOME

Lucky previously lived with 4 adults and 1 small child. The owner stated Lucky is described to be very tolerant of the child and affectionate with the family but is also independent. The owner mentioned Lucky is house broken and when home alone he is well behaved.

At intake Lucky had loose body language and allowed all handling. During SAFER Lucky came into the assessment room calm and quiet, he was friendly towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Lucky was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Lucky was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Lucky appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.
