PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Santi is slightly sexually motivated in a group of female dogs but is able to be interrupted. He is able to interact with social male dogs but becomes reactive when a male dog growls at him. According to Santi’s previous guardian, Santi has not lived with other dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that Santi be placed with well-socialized resident dogs that match his calm sociability. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/19/17 During his medical examination, Santi was tense but did allow all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: His previous owner reports a high activity level, which matches what we have seen in the care center. We recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as an outlet to direct his energy.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Santi seems a bit uncomfortable with quick movements and may be most comfortable in a home without no children. Dog-savvy with no children can be considered pending interaction. He otherwise shows good coping skills, even when uncomfortable, and has been quite human social with his caretakers in the care center. Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Santi is reported to become a bit tense with toy resources. It is important to leave Santi alone while he is playing and never to take anything directly from his mouth. When he is asked to drop something he should be traded for an item of equal or higher value, in order to reward Santi for relinquishing the item he has.
