11/22/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Brady is as cute as they come. Brady is a little terrified of the leash, but once outside he is very sociable and friendly. He was shy at first, but then started to follow me around the yard looking for attention. At 12 years of age, he hasn’t lost a step. He wanders the yard like someone half his age. I really like this little guy. All he needs now is a new home to go to. Brady is looking for a new start in life. But first he needs a home to make that happen.

PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/19/2016 Brady was nervous during her initial medical exam, growling and snapped at his handlers.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13) _X_Place with a New Hope partner (Brady would benefit best from placement with a New Hope rescue group who can further assess this behavior in a stable environment) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Brady has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Brady may easily startle and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement and will display proper warning signals as well as increase distance from anything that may present a threat. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.) _X_Handling Sensitivity
