Pre-Screener Form

Eddie is at risk due to behavioral reasons. During his time in the care center, Eddie has been noted to have handling sensitivities. Noted to become tense and begin panting when handled. His previous owners note that he will snap when his paws are touched. They also state that he will lunge and snap at dogs while on leash. In the care center we have seen Eddie bark and vocalize loudly towards dogs and lunge persistantly at multiple people while on the street. Eddie's previous owner describes him as a sweet dog that loves to interact with people. With staff, Eddie was observed to be social. Medically, Eddie is obese but is otherwise apparently healthy.

Eddie came into ACC as an owner surrender. Eddie was surrendered because his previous owner did not have enough time to care for Eddie. During his time in the care center Eddie has been noted to have handing sensitivities, he has been tense and panting when handled here. Eddie is also noted to love alligator toys and he has been social with staff. His previous owners note that he will snap when his paws are touched. In his previous home Eddie was noted to lunge and snap at dogs on leash, in the care center we have seen Eddie bark and vocalize loudly towards dogs. Eddie is also noted to resource guard in the home environment, escalating to snapping and attempting to bite over toys. 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.
