ENERGY LEVEL: We have limited history on Blue so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Blue is a social, enthusiastic dog who will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Potential challenges: Destructive behavior

Potential challenges comments: Previous owners have reported Blue was chewing on household items when left alone. Due to Blue’s current limited profile, we have no way of knowing whether this past behavior has subsided.
We advise future adopters to make sure to provide mentally and physically stimulating, appropriate chew toys to keep Blue occupied when left alone.

Profile (Previous Name Clancy) 10/27/15

Basic Information:

Clancy is a 1yr old neutered male Pit Bull that has no medical issues that the owner is aware of.

Social Life & Personality:

Clancy has been around children and interacts with them in a somewhat rough manner due to his size(Not aggressive). He has also been around other dogs and he interacted with them in a somewhat rough manner as well. Clancy has also been around cats and he is friendly with them but he is rough when engaging in play with them. Clancy is an indoor only dog that is house broken. Clancy is describe to be friendly, playful, excitable, anxious, and affectionate with a very high activity level.

Behavior Issues:

Clancy has never bitten a person or another animal according to the owner. Clancy does have destructive issues and he likes to destroy house hold items as well as other items. Although the majority of the time Clancy is house broken there are times where he relieve himself in the home. The owner stated this only occurs when someone is home, never when Clancy is left alone. Clancy doesn’t have any guarding issues. This applies to food, treats, and toys. These items can be given and taken away with no issues. The owner has never tried to bath or trim Clancy’s nails. However he does enjoy having his coat brushed.

For a New Family to Know:

Clancy knows a few basic commands like sit, down, and give paw according to the owner. Clancy went for slow walks on a leash and let out into the yard for daily exercise. He enjoys all sorts of dog toys and its suggested that you get him very very durable toys. Clancy has been crated but doesn’t do well and will bark or try and break free from the crate. When in the home Clancy is the type to follow you around seeking attention or be in the same room. When left alone in the yard Clancy is destructive and need to be supervised while in the yard. Clancy was brought up eating both wet/dry food and the brands the owner gave were Beniful & Pedigree.

Behavior: Experienced No Child Home

On 10/27/2015 Clue came to us as a returned adoption. According to the owner, Clue was displaying “destructive behavior” chewing on various items inside and outside the home. The owner further describes Clue as “friendly, playful, excitable, anxious, and affectionate with a very high activity level”; no bite history. The Assistant’s observations: Friendly and walks well to the assessment area. During the assessment, Clue appeared to be calm, but not overly friendly. He allowed the Assessor to perform all tactile assessment items and accepted handling. During the “toy” assessment item, Clue relinquished the toy. No behavior issues; no aggression noted. According to the owner surrendering Clue he kept as an “indoor only” dog, which may account for the chewing behavior. Although Clue did well during the assessment, the claimed chewing issues and the rough play with children must be taken into consideration. It is the opinion of the Behavior department Clue may be adopted by an experienced owner with no children who will provide him with daily stimulation and exercise.  This should include (but not limited to) brisk walks. Clue may benefit from a behavior modification plan to address the chewing issues.
