Spay/Neuter status:: Yes

Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray

Bite history:: Yes, during a previous stay at the care center, Noah bit an employee, breaking skin.

Date of assessment:: 1/3/2018

Summary:: Due to Noah’s past bite history as well as lunging and growling at handlers that approach him, we feel that he is not a safe candidate for a handling assessment at this time.

Date of initial:: 1/3/2018

Summary:: Noah came in tranquilized and growled when the dart was removed.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Noah so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Noah’s bite history, we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Noah’s bite history, as well as the potential for defensive aggression he has displayed, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Noah bit a care center employee during a previous stay at the care center and he has lunged and growled at people who approach him. Guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Noah to new and unfamiliar situations.
