WEB MEMO

A volunteer writes:  I can’t help but feel a strong affinity for Sha.  It isn’t based on anything rational — we haven’t really met yet.  Mostly it’s based on how his tongue always peeks out of his mouth and how I think his eyes look kind.  A big, middle aged boy that’s had the rug pulled out from under his paws and is coping with it by curling up on his bed, trembling and refusing to leave his cage.  Our relationship has only recently progressed from me throwing chicken nuggets his way (he would wince, maybe sensing my horrible aim) to now eventually meeting me at the front where he’ll take them gently from my hand and make soft eye contact.  His family left him at a neighbor’s house when they moved states away and never came back for him.  When I put a leash on him he gets one paw outside the door and then retreats when his neighbor starts barking loudly.  So I can’t tell you much about him beyond the sweet vibes I get from our cage dates, but his keeper left some insight.  He is said to be uncomfortable with strangers (and clearly the safest place in a strange place filled with strangers is your cage!), but has lived with older children, smaller dogs, and even an iguana!  He might be prone to destructive tendencies and need more housetraining, but he doesn’t have a history of guarding and is friendly if you disturb him while he’s snoozin’.  If and when we do get to really meet, there won’t be any crushed expectations;  I’ve already (irrationally) decided that he’s sensitive and sweet, expect he’ll need some work, and, most importantly, know he deserves a chance to become again the dog that loves to play and hop around.

04/15/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Sha came to us after being left at a neighbor’s house and was never picked over the course of a month. According to the neighbor Sha is very alert around strangers and doesn’t play with them. He spent some time with a 12 and 13 year old reportedly being relaxed and playful with them. Sha is not house trained and tends to eliminate in the home, so he will need to be house trained. Upon intake Sha was unable to be handled by staff as he would growl at them when approached. During his medical exam he had to be restrained and was recorded to be very nervous and attempt to bite. In kennel Sha can be seen with very fearful body language near the back of his kennel. Once approached he will begin to growl, and will begin to body tremble as well. If attempting to place the slip lead on him, he will sometimes snap at it and have a crouched body position. Once the slip lead is on he will not walk or leave his kennel. Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter, stress level concerns, and safety a behavior assessment will not be conducted at this time. We recommend Sha go to a New Hope partner who can provide a calm and structured environment and behavior modification at this time. We have not be able to safely remove Sha from his kennel in order to bring him to playgroup. He continues to remain curled in a ball, trembling, growling with a low head. He is able to be leashed but he will not stand up to walk. We will continue to try.
