Helper: 1034133
Max came to us as an owner surrender on 4/23/15. The previous owner reported that Max has been around children and strangers, and is described as an affectionate dog. When entering the behavior room Max can be visibly seen with very tense body language. Not all tactile assessments were able to be completed for safety reasons as Max tried to bite the assessor during the sensitivity item. Due to this behavior the behavior department believes that Max will be best suited if placed with a rescue.
Look: 4. Dog holds eye contact while remaining motionless with ears forward. His body is stiff and becomes stiffer as assessment progresses.
Sensitivity: 5. Dog freezes, growls or tries to bite.
Food: No interest
Toy 1: No interest.
Rawhide1: Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then turns away.
Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, lip long or neutral.
