08/19/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mylow walks calmly on leash. He became uncomfortable with handling; he stands tall, and tries to look large. He wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth and preparing to lunge forward. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Mylow was not interested in toys. Mylow was surrender to us. According to his previous owner Mylow is aggressive around strangers and will growl and lunge. Owner stated he plays in an exuberant manner with adults. He has never been around kids. He has never been around any other type of animal. If his food is touched while he is eating Mylow will growl. He will also growl if a treat of any kind is taken away from him. He does not like being picked up for too long. He is not bothered if a toy is taken away. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Look: 5. tries to bite. Toy 1: No interest.
