Pre-Screener Form

Oreo is at risk due to his behavioral concerns. He displays arousal related behaviors including leash biting, jumping, and mouthing/redirecting toward handlers. He often requires treats for leashing and kennel exits and has redirected toward handlers when highly aroused. Oreo has continued to leash bite despite redirection and has left red marks on a handler's arm while grabbing the leash. Despite this, he is social, allows petting, and displays a loose body posture. Medically, Oreo is Apparently Healthy.

Oreo arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. While in care, Oreo has been observed to be on leash reactive. Noted to attempt to redirect onto handler on two separate occasions. During one instance he jumped up and snapped at the handler's chest, and during a second instance he bit the handler's treat pouch. Due to the detailed behavior, we recommend an experienced adult-only home.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!
