Animal Profile
Diamond
Hello, my name is Diamond . My animal id is #57284. I am a desexed female gray dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 6 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 3/17/2019, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- no time for animal.
Reserved
Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Diamond was placed at risk due to behavioral concerns observed both at her previous home and in shelter. Diamond's previous owner reports fearful behavior in line with what has been observed in the care center. Diamond has escalated to growling at handlers upon approach as well lip raising; because she has tolerated only minimal handling at this time, we feel Diamond would be best set up to succeed with an experienced rescue partner. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing or exposing Diamond to new and unfamiliar situations. Diamond is otherwise healthy.

Summary:: Diamond has tolerated minimal handling in the care center.

Out of concern for her stress levels and handler safety, an assessment will not be attempted at this time.
Summary:: According to Diamond's previous owner, she not been socialized with other dogs while in their care. 3/18: When off leash at the Care Center, Diamond is introduced to a novel male dog. She is fearful as she displays a tucked body posture/tail, pinned ears, and whale eyes. She does not approach the male and ignores him for the entire session. 3/19: Diamond was introduced to a novel male dog. She remains fearful, but explored the yard and briefly greeted the male as they passed each other. The male became fixated on her genitals so Diamond self-handicapped (she sat down) and then walked away when the male was interrupted by handlers.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to the high level of fear observed in the care center and Diamond's propensity to escalate, we feel an experienced adult only home would be most beneficial at this time. New Hope Only: Diamond's previous owner reports fearful behavior in line with what has been observed in the care center. Diamond has escalated to growling at handlers upon approach as well lip raising; because she has tolerated only minimal handling at this time, we feel Diamond would be best set up to succeed with an experienced rescue partner. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing or exposing Diamond to new and unfamiliar situations.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
