MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/18/2017 During her initial medical exam, Mamaz allowed all handling but began barking at an approaching caretaker. ENERGY LEVEL: Her owner describes Mamaz as having a medium activity level which matches what we have seen at the care center. Mamaz will require daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Mamaz bite history, she must be placed with a New Hope Partner. It should be noted the owner who surrendered Mamaz was only witness to the bruised ankle while startled on a walk. The other reports came from a third party and were questioned by owner as to the validity. _X_Recommend no dog parks: Mamaz has spent time in her home with another medium sized dog and a small shihtzu, but in the care center will approach quickly with hackles raised and barking. She will do best with a slow introduction to one dog at a time and dog parks may be over-stimulating for her. Potential challenges: _X_Strength/leash pulling: Mamaz is a very strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. It is recommended that she be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish her strength through leverage. Mamaz has also been reactive on leash when startled, and may benefit going out in a more controlled environment such as a yard or familiar walk area with limited new stimuli. _X_Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression: Mamaz reacted when startled on a walk and nipped a stranger’s ankle leaving a bruise but not broken skin. There is third party information of potential other bites but this has not been confirmed and limited details have been given. Mamaz may benefit from a slow approach and slow introduction in a calm, quiet, structured environment to limit the potential for any reactivity to startling. We recommend only force-free, reward based training methods as more aversive techniques will likely increase fear and increase the the risk of aggression.
