Date of intake:: 3/8/2025

Summary:: Allowed handling

Date of initial:: 3/10/2025

Summary:: Body relaxed; easily examined; tail tucked under

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Jamil 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 on leash reactivity and a low threshold for arousal we recommend a home with no children. We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

Potential challenges: : On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: On leash reactivity: Jamil has been observed to vocalize and pull towards dogs with a tense body. This behavior is not able to be redirected easily using treats or squeaky sounds. Jamil 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. Low Threshold Arousal: Jamil has been observed to mount handlers. This behavior is not able to be easily redirected. When a handler straight armed Jamil he began to jump towards their face with an open mouth and bared teeth. Jamil should be rewarded with treats when calm. If they escalate to jumping or mounting, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Jamil. Please see handout on Arousal.
