Summary:: Slightly tense, fearful and curious. Sniffling the handler when approached. Warmed up quickly

Date of initial:: 5/12/2026

Summary:: Whale eyed, tail tucked, sniffed my hand and then retreated, growling/bearing teeth

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Remy so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he 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:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No Children: Due to Remy's fearful disposition and capacity for defensive aggression, we recommend a home with no children.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Remy is noted to jump up on handler in a social manner. Training should focus on reinforcing calm greeting behaviors and teaching appropriate alternatives to jumping when seeking attention. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition: Remy is noted to take treats with mild pressure.He mouths their hand or treat pouch gently for treats. Training should emphasize rewarding gentle treat-taking, redirecting mouthing behavior appropriately. Please see the handout on Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition. Fearful/Potential for Defensive Aggression: During his medical exams it was reported that Remy would growl and bare teeth at handlers when uncomfortable. He has also displayed signs of uncertainty and discomfort when interacting such as lip licking and hard staring. It is important to move slowly with Remy, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow Remy to initiate interactions with new people. He should never be forced to greet or to interact if he is not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression. Anxiety: In the care center, Remy is noted to lick and bite at his crate bars and is noted ot pace back and forth. Providing consistent routines, appropriate mental enrichment, and opportunities for stress reduction may help improve Remy’s comfort level. Please see the handout on generalized anxiety.
