Let's get to know each other a bit more...
Hi, my name is Shadow! But you can call me baby, sweetie, honey bear, or sugar plum; I wiggle to all those names and more! I get super excited at times but it's because I really like people and running and jumping and treats and...actually there's not much I don't like! So, if you want to be happy with me come get me at MACC! You can't miss me; I'll be the one dancing around in my kennel!
My medical notes are...

Summary:: 12/4: Shadow appears highly interested and playful when conducting an on-leash greeting through the safety gate. An off-leash is not conducted due to lack of equally playful, energetic helper dog at this time. Future introductions should be conducted at a slow pace.
Date of intake:: 11/20/2019
Summary:: Social, jumping up, allowed handling
Date of initial:: 11/21/2019
Summary:: Social, jumping up, allowed handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Shadow so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 11/21/19 Shadow was easily leashed and taken to the yard. Shadow allowed handling and collaring. In the yard he sniffed around and seemed curious and alert, seeking to observe people coming in and out of the yard by pulling hard towards them, sometimes getting on his hind legs to investigate with a loose body and tail wagging. 11/24/19- Shadow was at the front and easily leashed. He pulls hard on leash. Sniffs yard mostly ignoring handler. Has soft body no issues going back. 11/26/19- Shadow is easily leashed and pulls hard on leash. He is distracted by sounds in the street mostly focusing on them. He takes treats nicely. Mostly ignores handler. No issues going back. 12/3/19- Shadow is easily leashed and pulls very hard on leash. He mostly ignores handler, mostly just sniffing and exploring the yard. He does get a bit jumpy, but calms down when handler turns her back to him. Seems to get anxious whining and pawing at the gates. No issues going back.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Shadow's bite history, we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Shadow's bite history, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression,Bite history (human)
Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Shadow jumps up a lot on people in a social manner. Please see handout on Basic Manners. Bite history (human): Shadow bit two people in his previous home, his owner and her grandson. We have no details as to the circumstances of the bite. The bite to the owner resulted in one small puncture to her finger. We do not know the severity of the bite to the grandson, but it did not require medical care. Please see handout on Bite History.
