Summary (7):: 10/22/26: Haribo Is standing at the front of his kennel with a neutral body where he is easily leashed and pulled from kennel. Handler gets Haribo outside before he starts to jump and put front legs around Handler. Handler uses treats to distract Haribo, which works for a while. Haribo returns to jumping, and after a while on his walk he starts to also mouth the leash. Handler keeps Haribo busy walking at a moderate pace which doesn't allow him time to jump. Handler keeps up the brisk pace for the duration of the walk and Haribo no longer jumps at handler. He is returned to his kennel with no issue. 10/21/26(BA Note): Haribo is standing at the front of his kennel and will allow the handler to leash him with ease. He will then be brought to the assessment room, where he will allow the handler to place a drag leash, collar, and harness on him. He will allow all handling and run without becoming aroused. He does not react to the knock but will walk toward the handler and sniff the toy. He will grip the toy in his mouth and walk away before reengaging and pushing the toy toward the handler to solicit play. For more information, see Behavioral Assessment. 10/17/26: Haribo is standing at the front of his kennel as handler approaches.

AC 10/8/26: Haribo was excited jumping up at the kennel door as the handler approached the kennel. Haribo was leashed easily and walked out of the kennel room and out of the facility with no issues while pulling hard. The handler made it outside with Haribo until he began to jump up towards the handler and started to become very mouthy. The handler quickly maneuvered and stiff armed him but was finding it difficult to keep control due to his size and strength. Haribo's walk ended shorter than what is normally given to other dogs due to this behavior and brought back to his kennel where he applied brakes and refused to enter. The handler had to force him back into kennel since he was aloof to treats

Date of intake:: 10/7/2026

Summary:: Very friendly and outgoing

Date of initial:: 10/10/2026

Summary:: Nervous/tense with handling but tolerated exam; difficult to restrain for prolonged handling

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Haribo so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is an 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.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to Haribo's size, strength, and exuberance we recommend an adult only home at this time. Recommend no dog parks: Due to Haribo's reported altercation with a resident dog with very little details, we recommend he does not visit dog parks. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Haribo's behavior at the care center, 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,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Leash-biting,Strength/leash pulling

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control | Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition | Leash biting: During his time at the care center, Haribo has displayed some arousal and poor impulse control when on walks, jumping on handlers, and mouthing at handlers and the leash. He will need guidance to learn how to appropriately channel his energy when he becomes overstimulated, and force-free, positive reinforcement-based training will help him to learn impulse control and to train desirable behaviors that can be rewarded. Please see handouts on Basic Manners/Poor impulse control and Mouthiness/Poor Bite inhibition. Strength/leash pulling: Haribo is a very large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which help diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash. Please see handout on Leash Manners.
