ENERGY LEVEL: Juicy’s previous describes him as having a very high energy level. In the care center, he has displayed a moderate level of activity. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Previous owner stated that Juicy was shy with new people and he lunged and the medical staff at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Juicy the option to walk away from any social interaction. Juicy should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Juicy’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Juicy would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.)
