DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT:

Summary

PLAYGROUP:

When off leash at the Care Center, Orion enjoys engaging in gentle play with male and female dogs. He avoids high energy play and is tolerant of mounting and assertive posturing. Orion was brought in as a stray so his behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Orion be placed with resident dogs that match his gentle play style

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

4/8/17

During his medical examination, Orion was playful and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Orion so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
