PROFILE :

Chewy is a tan and white male chihuahua dog who is being surrendered because he can be shy to visitors of the home.  Chewy has been with the family for 1 year.

Chewy lived with 2 adults and 3 children as well as a cat.  Chewy is receptive to interactions with all the family but the owner describes him as mostly quiet.  The cat and Chewy are reported to be playful and receptive to one another.  When visitors come to the home Chewy is put in another room because he will growl and appears fearful.  When on walks owner says he is indifferent to other dogs but can become defensive if they display aroused behavior such as bark and he will bark back.  He can be receptive to meeting people and petting when on walk but also may bark to ward strangers off.   Chewy is partially house broken and is allowed to eliminate on wee wee pads in inside.

Chewy is tolerant of a bath but not of a nail trim.  Chewy likes to be picked up and held by his family.  Chewy will guard his food with growling and if the owner tries to remove his food he may attempt to bite (chewy has never bit anyone).   With toys he does not guard but will resist having them removed if he is playing with them but tugging.  If on the bed or the couch he is easily removed.

Chewy likes to play with soft toys and he likes to throw them around and sometime be destructive to them but does not swallow the material.  He does not know commands.  Chewy likes to play chasing games with the family.  When the family is home he likes to be where they are and when home alone he is well behaved.  Chewy likes wet and dry food.

Upon intake Chewy was slightly fearful to introduction with growling.  Owner assisted with handling and Chewy became quiet but relaxed with a loose body and counselor was able to scan for microchip (negative) collar and photograph.  Chewy walked well on leash and was curious about counselor with sniffing.

SAFER: EXPERIENCED HOME, NO CHILDREN

Chewy previously lived with 2 adults and 3 children as well as a cat. The owner stated Chewy and the cat are playful and receptive to one another. The owner mentioned Chewy is partially house broken and eliminate on wee-wee pads in inside and he is well behaved when home alone. It was reported by the owner Chewy will guard his food with growling and if the owner tries to remove his food he may attempt to bite.

At intake it was reported Chewy was a bit fearful and growling, he allowed all handling with assistance from the owner. During SAFER Chewy came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was a bit social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Chewy was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Chewy was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to some concerns stated from the previous owner Chewy will growl and guard his food bowl if someone tries to remove it, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no children.
