BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable Randy Donut is currently with touch and novel stimuli, and the potential for resource guarding we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: During the toy portion of Randy Donuts' handling assessment, he began displaying mild body blocking of the fake hand, indicating the potential to guard items he may consider valuable. Due to his lack of Behavioral history in a home, it is unknown whether this behavior will translate in a future home environment. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Randy Donut's mouth, and anytime something is traded for, he should be rewarded with a high-value treat or toy. Please see handout on resource guarding. Handling/touch sensitivity | Fearful: During his intake, medical exam, and attempt of a handling assessment, when reaching or handling around Randy Donut's head and neck, he exhibited signs of discomfort by moving away and whale-eying the touch. During his recent handling assessment, Randy donut initially tolerated touch but began moving away. He has only interacted with the handlers when offered higher-value treats. It is crucial to proceed with patience and allow the Randy D. the autonomy to withdraw from any social interaction if needed. Dogs should never feel pressured to engage with situations or handling that makes them uncomfortable. Respect for his boundaries is paramount, ensuring that they have the freedom to approach new people or situations at their own pace. Randy may thrive in a tranquil and serene home environment initially, where he can gradually acclimate to his new surroundings with patience and understanding. Please see the handout on the Decompression Period and Handling/touch sensitivity.
