Summary (1):: Beauty is a very active and playful female dog who is vocal, social, and affectionate most of the time. She enjoys spending time in the kitchen, living room, and her crate, and she plays often in the backyard. At night, she sleeps in a crate located in the dining room, where she can’t get into anything. Beauty is crate trained and does well for up to five hours; she prefers a regular crate without the bottom tray, as she does not like it. She walks on leash with mild to moderate pulling (rated 3), typically going out 1–2 times per day for about 30 minutes or until she’s ready to come inside—she’ll let you know by barking. Grooming is no issue for her; she goes to the groomer, loves water and bath time, and allows her family to brush her coat and trim her nails. Beauty knows basic cues like “sit,” “no,” and “stay.” She enjoys car rides but may struggle a bit when being placed in the car; once inside, she settles and enjoys the ride. Her favorite activities include playing with toys (especially bones), eating, and being around people. Her previous owner shared that when she listens and refrains from destructive behaviors, she is very sweet—especially around kids—and always adorable, though she can be quite vocal.

She goes directly into her kennel and eats the treats that were left for her. 10/23: Beauty is easily leashed and begins to pull toward barking dogs kennels. She is kept on a short leash and rushed out of the room. In the yard a drag leash is attached and she follows the handler to the bench, jumping up and seeking attention.

The handlers arm goes into her mouth but no pressure is applied. She is brought on a walk and cowers when cars pass close by. When returning, she sees a female large mixed-breed dog and begins hard barking and lunging. The closest door is used to come inside, and she returns without further issue. 10.21 Beauty is standing at the front of her kennel as staff approaches.

When walking into the yard, her tail is tucked and she moves slowly. Staff sits and leaves Beauty to explore the yard on her own. She stops to sniff almost everywhere. When another member of staff opens the building door, Beauty is spooked and runs to sit in staff's lap and leans against them. She stays in staff's lap for quite a while, occasionally trying to climb higher on to staff's lap. Once she has calmed, staff gets up and Beauty follows them. Beauty jumps up on staff, her tail low and wagging quickly, and she hugs on to staff. When staff presents the lead to go back inside, Beauty retreats and backs away from any attempts to be leashed.

Date of intake:: 10/7/2025

Summary:: hyperactive

Date of initial:: 10/7/2025

Summary:: friendly,allowed handling , very high engery

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

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

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

Recommendations comments:: NO CHILDREN (UNDER 13) Due to behaviors reported in the previous home we recommend and adult only home for Beauty at this time. Beauty reacts to other dogs by lunging and pulling hard towards them on leash. She would require slow, controlled introductions to another dog. A dog/dog interaction would be highly suggested. Recommend no dog parks: Due to on-leash reactivity seen in care, we recommend Beauty does not visit the dog park.

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Destructive behavior,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Social hyperarousal,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: HOUSE SOILING Beauty is noted to have accidents in the house and will likely need guidance with house training. We recommend positive reinforcement, reward-based training only. Please see handout on House soiling. DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR Beauty is reported to show destructive behavior in the home, such as chewing on furniture. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Beauty will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so she can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Please see handout on Destructive Behavior. BASIC MANNERS/POOR IMPULSE CONTROL It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic Manners/Poor Impulse Control. SOCIAL HYPERAROUSAL Beauty quickly becomes over aroused in the presence of people, jumping up and mouthing. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Beauty to remain calm when people and other exciting things are around. She should be rewarded with treats when calm. If she escalates to jumping or mouthing, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Beauty. Please see handout on Arousal. FEARFUL/POTENTIAL FOR DEFENSIVE AGGRESSION Beauty gives clear warnings when she is uncomfortable and does seem to choose to avoid or retreat when given the opportunity, but if prevented from moving away there is a potential to escalate to higher-level warning behaviors and possible fear-based aggression. It is important to move slowly with Beauty, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow Beauty to initiate interactions with new people. She should never be forced to greet or to interact if she is not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful/Potential for Defensive Aggression. ANXIETY Beauty appears anxious at the care center. If Beauty displays anxious behavior in her future home, 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 the handout on Generalized Anxiety. OLR/BARRIER FRUSTRATION Beauty is reported to be reactive on leash towards other animals and people. She is reported to hard bark and growl or attempt to greet. She should go to an owner familiar with working with this behavior. Please see handout on On-Leash Reactivity.
