Leash pressure is used to direct her away. Bonnie enters vestibule for interaction (See dog-dog notes for details). She is receptive to treats but immediately attempts to fixate and pull hard toward the dog on the other side of the greeting fence with tense body. After interaction, Bonnie is walked to a play yard that has an empty yard in between her and another dog. She sniffs around, is notably panting, and pulling hard erratically in different direction. Bonnie stands on hindlegs facing the yard with a dog two yards over, and is now biting on the leg of a karanda bed that is leaning on the fence. She is pulled away.

Date of intake:: 1/11/2026

Summary:: Whining and vocalizing

Date of initial:: 1/11/2026

Summary:: Fearful, did take treats and allowed for full exam

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Bonnie 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),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to poor impulse controls we recommend an adult only home. Place with New Hope Partner: Due to Bonnie's decreasing threshold for arousal resulting in fixating on random objects, we reccomend placement with and experienced New Hope Partner.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Bonnie has been obsvered to jump up on handlers often. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Sit" and "Off" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach them to control their impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic Manners. Anxiety: During intake Bonnie was obsvered to be whining and vocalizing. During her assessment she was obsvered to be panting heavily throughout the interaction. If Bonnie displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety. On-Leash Reactivity: At the care center, Bonnie has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Bonnie may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. Please see hand-out for On-leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration. Low threshold for arousal: Bonnie has been observed to grab hold of random objects when out for walks. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Bonnie to remain calm on walks and when 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 Bonnie. Please see hand-out on Arousal.
