Date of intake:: 6/12/2025

Summary:: Allowed handling

Date of initial:: 6/12/2025

Summary:: Wiggly, allows handling

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Judy so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay 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.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 13): Due to mouthie behavior and on leash reactivity we recommend an adult only home. Single Pet Home/ No Dog Park: Due to the risk for redirection we recommend a single pet home with no trips to the dog park. We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition: Judy takes treats with moderate pressure. This is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors using positive reinforcement. Please see hand-out on Mouthiness. Anxiety: Throughout her assessment Judy was panting. Judy will need daily enrichment to help manage this behavior. Please see hand-out on general anxiety. On Leash Reactivity: Judy has been observed to pull hard towards other dogs while on leash. Throughout her stay Judy has also been observed to fixate, bark, and lunge towards a person on a skateboard. Judy was also observed to pull hard towards a cat in a covered kennel with a tense body. During one instance after exiting the kennel room, Judy bit the handler on the leg. This bite did not break skin. Judy will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than dogs and other stimuli. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
