Date of initial:: 10/28/2017

Summary:: Ash was tense and resisted handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Ash so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium-high level of activity. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to how uncomfortable Ash is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: While Ash has warmed up and allowed handling from select handlers, he remains avoidant of and has snapped at others. For this reason, we recommend Ash be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Ash to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Ash to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Ash presents with outside of the care centers.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: While Ash has shown he warms up with select handlers, he has run away from and snapped at them. It is important to always go slow and give Ash the option to walk away from any social interaction. Ash should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Ash’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Ash would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
