A volunteer writes: Junior is shy, yet sophisticated–the hot guy that hangs in a corner at a party with some of his best buds having a great time that everyone can’t help but notice. He might take a moment to warm up to a new friend, but once he does, boy, is he worth the wait! Sweet, loving and full of kisses–a pet, a scratch or just a kind hand on his back makes Junior swoon! His eyes are a beautiful hazel green that you can’t help but notice. He is a fantastic walker as he loves to walk side by side!

Junior showed some discomfort with handling, particularly on Tag and Squeeze. He gave appropriate warnings of discomfort and showed no aggression. PLAYGROUP: According to Junior’s previous guardian, around female dogs he is relaxed and playful but will bark at male dogs that try to approach him. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Junior is nervous, displaying a tucked tail, as he greets both a novel male and female dog. He mostly keeps to himself as he explores, tolerating face to face greetings. The Behavior Department believes Junior will be most comfortable as the only dog. Any other resident dog should be well-socialized and match his calm sociability. All introductions should be conducted slowly and be under supervision. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 6/20/17 Upon intake Junior was friendly, and calm he allowed the counselor to collar him and take a photo. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/21/17 Junior was nervous with his tail tucked, scared, submissive – went to lie down for part of exam. But still was cautious with him. No growling. Allowed exam. Fine for shots.

ENERGY LEVEL: His previous owner reports a medium-high activity level, which does not match what we have seen in the care center. Junior moved away from the assessor during the assessment. The movement appeared to be aimed at stopping the assessor’s activity/etc. Junior will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home _X_ No children (under 13)- Junior has been extremely timid and hesitant to interact during his time at the care center. This causes us to feel that Junior will be most comfortable and most likely to thrive in an adult-only home. Potential challenges: _X_ Handling/touch sensitivity- Junior has become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over him. It is important to always go slow and give Junior the option to walk away from any social interaction. Junior should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Junior’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Junior may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. _X_ Fearful- Junior was timid throughout the assessment and did not readily approach or maintain any proximity to the assessor. He was tolerant of handling but needed considerable coaxing to position, and did not seem to warm up to the assessor during the assessment. He would not approach the assessor, but moved away whenever the assessor tried to initiate contact. He also avoided eye contact, and petting.
