Trey

Hello, my name is Trey. My animal id is #75760. I am a desexed male brown dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 9 years 2 months 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 9/18/2019, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- new baby.

Reserved

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Although Trey displays social behavior with handlers, solicits attention and accepts all contact, he has begun to exhibit signs of deterioration and has escalated to biting a novel person while being walked outside for a relief walk - broken skin, no punctures. Trey has not been observed to display this behavior since this incident but continues to display anxious behavior during his interactions. Due to these observed behaviors, we feel Trey should be placed with an experienced rescue partner who can allow him to decompress and reassess his behavior in a more stable home environment before seeking permanent placement. trey was diagnosed with dental disease and a mass.

You may know me from such films as...

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

A volunteer writes: Trey is a distinguished mild-mannered gentleman with a fondness for naps and low energy pursuits. When it comes to finding the right family, at the top of his wish list would be a top-notch belly-rub giver. This furry love muffin approaches people readily and appreciates every greeting he receives in return. He's eager to lie down and let you fawn all over him -- and please don't miss the ears. Take him out to the street and he'll do a brisk step down the sidewalk. He's easy on the leash and didn't react to other dogs. When I sit on a stoop, he takes a seat on the ground next to me, and when he's had enough he'll lie down for a short break. His previous family described him as "relaxed, playful and tolerant" with people, and respectful and playful with other dogs. He has shown a little anxiety in the care center and has barked at strangers in his home in the past so he would do best in a calm adult-only family. You'll find Trey at Brooklyn ACC, ready and waiting to become your main squeeze.

Summary:: Whale eyed, lip licked, accepted contact, head shy; Muzzled as a precaution

ENERGY LEVEL:: Trey has been observed to exhibit a medium level of energy during his interactions in the care center. We cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment, but we recommend that he be provided daily mental and physical stimulation as an outlet for his energy.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: **Bite Incident In-Shelter (11/2/19)** While attempting to bring Trey outside for a relief walk and interaction, he was observed to display offensive aggression toward a novel human (member of the public) who was walking in the hallway in the opposite direction toward him. While the victim had paused briefly to allow Trey and his handler to pass by, Trey rapidly escalated to lunging, snapping and biting the victim in the upper thigh/lower buttocks. When the victim attempted to remove Trey from his leg, Trey was observed to snap again toward the victim’s hand before being moved away by the handler. Trey did not escalate once removed from the hallway. This bite incident resulted in broken skin, but no punctures to the victim.

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 (under 13): Due to Trey's reported fearful behavior, multiple-bite history (human) and overall anxiety, as well as his recent signs of deterioration in the care center, we feel he would be best set up to succeed in an adult-only home at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Although Trey displays social behavior with handlers, solicits attention and accepts all contact, he has begun to exhibit signs of deterioration and has escalated to biting a novel person while being walked outside for a relief walk - broken skin, no punctures. Trey has not been observed to display this behavior since this incident, but continues to display anxious behavior during his interactions. Due to these observed behaviors, we feel Trey should be placed with an experienced rescue partner who can allow him to decompress and reassess his behavior in a more stable home environment before seeking permanent placement. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when handling Trey, as well as seeking guidance from a qualified trainer or veterinary behaviorist.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression,Anxiety,Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Previous owner reported Trey to growl, bark and if his owners, family members and familiar areas are approached. This behavior has not been observed during his interactions in the care center. Should this behavior arise in a home environment, please refer to the handout for Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression | Bite history (human): Previous owner reported Trey to have had a past bite incident, which did not result in broken skin. No other details were provided regarding Trey's behavior prior to the bite or after and where this incident took place. Trey has also been observed to have a recent bite incident in the care center while being walked on-leash for a relief walk. The result of which was broken skin, but no punctures (SEE IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS). Please refer to the handoutS for Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression and Bite history (human). Anxiety: Trey exhibits anxious behavior during his interactions in the care center, where he has been observed to pant excessively throughout his sessions. Please refer to the handout for Generalized Anxiety.
