Diamond is at risk for medical and behavior concerns. She has been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex which is contagious to other dogs. She also should go to an adult only environment prepared to allow her a slow approach when meeting new people.

Date of intake:: 8/26/2019

Summary:: Tucked tail, growling

ENERGY LEVEL:: Diamond is described as playful with a medium-high level of activity. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Initially, Diamond was fearful in the shelter environment. She allowed minimal touch when interacting with handlers and kept her distance or hid. However, after sufficient time to acclimate, Diamond has begun to become social with handlers, choosing to approach them, soliciting attention, and remain near them. Although still fearful at the care center, she has shown great improvements in her interactions with people.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to the behavior seen in the care center, as well as Diamond being reported to growl at strangers by her previous owner, we feel that she may be intimidated by children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: At the care center, Diamond is social with handlers but is difficult to handle when returning to her kennel. She thrashes and snaps at handlers, requiring multiple handlers and a muzzle to return to her kennel. Diamond's previous owners also report that she growls at new people. She will need a slow approach and should never be forced to approach anything or any handling that she is uncomfortable with. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Diamond to acclimate comfortably to her new environment, and force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing her to new and unfamiliar situations. Please see handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression.
