Profile:

Bradley was returned to ACC only after being in his new home for a few days because he snapped at two of his new owners. He lived in a home with two adults and one little girl. The little girl was very happy to have a new dog so she often tried to pick up the dog and play with him. Bradley’s body would get stiff, he would bark and growl at her. She hovered over the dog on another occassion trying to pet his head, Bradley jumped up and nipped her lip (without breaking skin). Bradley did not play much in his new home. Bradley often had a low activity level and he would follow the female adult in the home. Bradley often hard barked at the male adult in the home when he walked past Bradley. Bradley also nipped the finger of the male adult when he was trying to touch him (not breaking skin). The rest of his stay, everyone left him alone and their were no more occurances. Bradley ate dry food Science Diet twice a day.

Behavior:

Bradley had several bite/nip/snapping incidents in a home environment over the course of a few days with several different human caretakers. Due to this escalation to high-level warnings and some human-directed aggression, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. We advise that Bradley will likely need time to acclimate to his new home and new family, and he may be uncomfortable being handled and picked up by children.

SAFER: 2/24

Bradley came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Bradley was friendly and allowed all handling. During SAFER Bradley came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Bradley joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Bradley was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Bradley appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for a “Average” adopter.

Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.

Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Toy 1: No interest.

Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Bradley tolerates the other dogs and will correct for behavior that makes him uncomfortable but spends most of the time with the handler.
