Tobie was difficult to remove from his kennel he is extremely fearful in the back of the kennel showing teeth, growling and lunges at the rope. He did not show any social behavior. Once he came out from his kennel Tobie tries to avoid any interaction running away from the handler. He had a low body, hackles raised, ears back, tucked tail, showing his teeth and growling. Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter the behavior department believes that Tobie is not an appropriate candidate for SAFER Tobie was surrender to us.

The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.
