He displays assertive body language with male dogs and jump on their backs. Sungazer was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Sungazer be placed with female dogs that match his gentle play style. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/19/17 During his initial medical examination, Sungazer was nervous and trembling, with a low posture and tail tucked. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Sungazer so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Sungazer is a young, enthusiastic, social dog. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his high energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below). _X_Recommend no dog parks: Due to Sungazer’s low display of sociability towards male dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that he not be taken to dog parks.

IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: 5/29/17 Sungazer was removed from the adoptions room today as he is no longer suitable due to safety concerns for staff and volunteers. He has begun to snap at the rope and the handlers hands when being removed from his kennel. When taken out of the kennel Sungazer will immediately become reactive and a staff memeber had to pull him away from their leg as he snapped and lunged toward their leg. Sungazer did try to turn and snap at the rope as well when being placed into his new kennel in the holding room.
