Caesar previously lived with adults and a 1 year old. The owner stated Caesar has been introduced to the child but wasn’t around much due to his high energy, but he is relaxed and was his tail. The owner mentioned Caesar is wary of male strangers, he becomes tense, low growls and barks when a male enter the yard, and with females he is wary of them but warms up to them. It was reported by the owner Caesar is house trained and well behaved when home alone. The owner describes Caesar affectionate, independent and playful. At intake it was reported Caesar was nervous and hard barking at the counselor, he also lunge and growl. No handling was conducted due to his behavior. During SAFER Caesar came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly, social and sexually motivated towards the assessor. He would consistently mouth the assessor but all handling items were conducted without issue. Caesar was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Caesar was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to some concerns with Caesar being wary of male strangers, the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter and we recommend introductions are done slowly around men. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. 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. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells, then turns away. Dog-dog: According to Caesar’s previous owner, Caesar has not been around other dogs. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Caesar is sexually motivated and persists after handler interruption before wandering in the pen. 6/9/16 Update: Due to the food guarding behavior that Caesar has been showing, we feel that Caesar may pose a safety risk for both the public and staff in the Care Center. At this time he should be moved from the Adoption Room and placement should be sought as soon as possible.
