Macho come into the shelter as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown .Upon intake it was reported Macho had a loose body and allowed all handling. During SAFER Macho came into the assessment room playful and friendly, he was social towards the assessor. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Macho was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment,Macho was easy to handle when engaged with the item. During dog-dog interaction Macho began to bark and lip curl so he was muzzled. When he approached the gate, the greeter dog began to bark at him therefore he was not allowed into the pen, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “experienced” adopter, and we recommend thorough Dog-Dog interaction before being placed into a permenant home.
