She was much more relaxed and social than the last time I spent time with her. Such a wonderful improvement! She leaned into staff for affection and even put her front paws on his leg to ask for more pets. She has the sweetest smiley face when she’s happy. She also showed interest in the dogs in the neighboring pen, sniffing and checking on them with a few minor whines. 5/15/26: Rogue approaches the front of her kennel with a loose body; she is easily leashed and brought out the room, and she whines while doing so.

Summary:: Friendly, dog reactive

Date of initial:: 5/13/2026

ENERGY LEVEL:: Rogue is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend only force-free, reward-based training techniques for Rogue.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No Children (Under 13): Due to her fearful disposition and need for contact on her own terms, we recommend a home with no children. Recommend no dog parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Rogue has shown while at the care center as well as what has been reported by the owner, we feel that Rogue should not visit dog parks. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior toward other dogs can be further addressed.

Potential challenges: : Fearful,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: During her assessment Rogue was observed to show signs of uncertainty with handlers and was reportedly tense during medical exams. It is important to always go slow and give Rogue the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Rogue would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. Anxiety: During her assessment Rouge was observed to whine and pant in the office when not being interacted with. We recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving her other things to focus on to alleviate her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety. On-Leash Reactivity/Barrier Frustration: During her intake it was reported that Rogue would react to dogs, her former owners also report that she will bark, lunge and snap at animals she sees on walks. Rogue may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On-Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
