10/04/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I was told about a gorgeous, shy and scared dog…a dog who wanted to be friends but was so overwhelmed by no longer being with his family that he was having a hard time. I would, wouldn’t you? So, Diesel became my mission, my mission to help him relax, make friends and get as comfortable as he possibly could in this strange new environment. He greeted me softly from his kennel, allowed me to leash him and out we went. We walked, we talked, he went potty, we walked and talked some more and when I settled on a park bench he settled with me. I had tethered him for a few minutes so I could photograph another dog and Diesel waited patiently watching my interaction. Maybe he figured since the other dog seemed to like me, he should too? Inch by inch, moment by moment Diesel made progress, and fast forward a little more time and I had a tail wagging, kissy face, wiggly boy in my lap!! What we’re told about Diesel is: he lived well with a 12 yo boy and two older male Chihuahuas, is housetrained, well behaved when left home alone, friendly, affectionate and playful, doesn’t guard his things, knows several commands and his favorite game is fetch. He seems protective of his person, and when his former owner was asked what his favorite thing about Diesel is, his response was: “everything he’s like my son”. So, let’s find Diesel a new person or family to love and take care of. I fulfilled my mission as best I could….his future is now up to you.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience adult home only _X_No children (under 13) (Potential for fearful/defensive aggression) _X_Single-pet home (See playgroup notes) _X_Recommend no dog parks (We advise against dog parks until Diesel can acclimate to his new home environment and this behavior can be further assessed. We recommend appropriate management before exposing Diesel to dog/dog interactions in a controlled environment.) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Diesel has displayed consistent fearful behavior during his stay in shelter; attempting to flee from handlers. Owner reports that if an unfamiliar person approached his previous home/owner he would bark, lunge and snap. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Diesel to new and unfamiliar situations. A period of decompression is highly recommended to aid in acclimation to a new home environment.)
