PROFILE :

Shaggy is a 2 year old brown male Yorkshire terrier poodle mix dog who is being surrendered because he can not take him where he is moving to.  Shaggy has been with his owner for 3 months.

Shaggy lived with 2 adults and 3 small children as well as 3 cats.  Shaggy is reported to be playful and affectionate with the cats in the home.  Shaggy is also respectful and tolerant of the children in the home.  Shaggy is house broken and does not have accidents eliminating in the home.  On leash walks Shaggy can be shy of other dogs and may bark at them to ward them off but will retreat if they approach for introduction.

Shaggy enjoys a bath but has not yet had a nail trim.  Shaggy does not guard his food toys or treats and will disengage if the owner removes food while eating.  Shaggy is easily held for handling.

Shaggy knows the commands sit, down, come  and stay.  He enjoys squeaky toys and likes running game such as fetch.  When the family is home he likes to be where they are.  When home alone he is well behaved.  Shaggy eats both wet and dry food.

Upon intake Shaggy was slightly shy but receptive for introduction.  He was loose for all handling and counselor was able to scan for microchip (positive) collar and photograph.  Shaggy walked well on leash but at times could be mildly resistant.

SAFER: NEW HOPE ONLY

Shaggy previously lived with 2 adults, 3 small children as well as 3 cats. The owner stated Shaggy is playful and affectionate with the cats in the home; he is also respectful and tolerant of the children in the home.  The owner mentioned Shaggy is house broken and well behaved when home alone.

At intake it was reported Shaggy was a bit shy, he was loose for all handling. During SAFER Shaggy came into the assessment room nervous and timid, not all handling items were able to be conducted as Shaggy growled and tried to bite at the assessor when attempting to put on his collar. He displayed no interest in the toy item during this portion of the assessment. When on leash for a dog interaction with another dog on leash Shaggy approaches the helper dog with his body soft and tail at spine. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time.

Toy 1: No interest.

Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral.
