08/12/16 11:45 Rex is a 10 year old male nuetered tan and white american pitbull terrier german shepherd mixed dog who is being surrendered because the family is moving and cannot bring him to their new residence.

08/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rex previously lived with 4 adults and 3 small children (ages 11-16). The owner stated Rex and is playful and interactive with the whole family. The owner mentioned Rex also lived with another small dog who is receptive and playful towards each other. It was reported by the owner Rex is house broken and well behaved When home alone. At intake it was reported Rex was not handled. During SAFER Rex came into the assessment room tense and fearful, he was not interested towards the assessor, not all handling items were able to be conducted as Rex bared his teeth and growled at the assessor when attempting to pet him. He displayed no interest in the resource item during this portion of the assessment. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a New Hope partner who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Rex initially is hesitant to approach the gate but eventually does and enters the pen nervously with a tucked tail and body. He greets very briefly but mostly avoids further interaction and explores the yard.
