Handler softly talks to him and holds treats out, he comes forward and eats them. Handler is finally able to leash.

He allows handler to pick him up and returned to his top kennel without issue. 1/15/26: (LATE ENTRY): It was reported by a staff member that during and adoption interaction, Bluey was a little fearful due to the client making a loud high pitch sound. The staff member advised the potential adopter to stay quiet and have a low voice during the interaction and they were receptive. After a few minutes, Bluey approached the potential adopter with a neutral body and wagging tail. The potential adopter was petting Bluey in the appropriate places, and he then snapped back his head to try to go after the adopter's hand. The interaction was ended. When the staff member was putting Bluey back into his top kennel, he was head whipping a lot so another staff member came to assist and they threw some treats down and picked him up with no issue. 12/28/25: Bluey Huey is observed to bare teeth and charge towards handlers in kennel while in the possession of food. 12/18/25: Bluey Huey is at the front of his kennel as handler approaches.

ENERGY LEVEL:: Bluey Huey is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them 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. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend using force-free, reward-based training techniques for Bluey Huey.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to handling sensitivity and resource guarding we recommend a home with no children.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Destructive behavior,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Handling/touch sensitivity,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Bluey has been obsvered to bare teeth and charge towards handers in kennel while in the possession of food. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Bluey's mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Destructive Behavior: Bluey's previous owner states that he is destructive in the home with items such as walls and other household items. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Bluey will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so they can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Please see handout on Destructive Behavior. Basic Manners: Bluey's previous owner states that he will jump up 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. Handling Sensitivity: Bluey's previous owner states that he will bark when held/ restrained. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used to pair touch with good things such as food rewards in order to teach Bluey to be more comfortable with this. Please see handout on Handling and Touch Sensitivity. Separation Anxiety: Bluey's previous owner states that he will become anxious when left alone. We recommend that potential adopters feel comfortable with separation anxiety behaviors and be prepared to manage and positively modify them should they appear in a home environment. They would do best in a home where a person is home for a large part of the day or with a plan so they are not alone for long periods of time. Please see handout on Separation Anxiety. On Leash Reactivity: Bluey's previous owner states that he will hard bark and growl towards bikes, scooters, and traffic. Bluey will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other stimuli. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration. anxious when left alone in the home.
