Summary:: Allowed all handling

Date of initial:: 10/19/2025

Summary:: Allowed handling

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Luna 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:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13):: Due to fearful behavior we recommend a home with no children.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Leash-biting

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful Defensive: During her previous stay Luna FKA Madam Mystic was observed to growl towards handlers while in care. And was observed to retreat from exuberant contact. While in foster Luna was obsvered to bark and charge towards the FP partner when they entered the room. It is important to move slowly with Luna, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow them to initiate interactions with new people. They should never be forced to greet or to interact if they are not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression. On Leash Reactivity: Luna has been obsvered to fixate, stare, and has a tense body when seeing or hearing another dog. Luna will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration. Leash Biting: Luna has been obsvered to jump up and bite the leash. Luna is quick to grab the leash in their mouth. We recommend walking them with a toy to dissuade them from grabbing the leash. Positive reinforcement, force-free training is advised to teach them to focus on you rather than grabbing the leash. Please see handout on Leash Manners.
