Summary:: Food-motivated, seeks affection, increased signs of fear during tasks/restraint- started to squirm

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Beebop so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): We reccomend Beebop be placed in an adult-only home at this time due to his fearfulness. Place with a New Hope partner: Beebop has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has displayed kennel fighting behavior and grabbed onto handler clothing. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
