Pre-Screener Form

Gideon is at risk due to behavioral reasons. While in care, Gideon has been observed to lunge and snap at handlers while in his crate. In one instance a handler rested their hand on top of his crate, and Gideon lunged and bit them through the crate cover. This bite was a bite and release that broke skin. After the bite incident, Gideon continued to lunge and snap at their hands. With handlers, Gideon has been observed to be receptive to treats and is receptive to the cue "sit." Medically, Gideon has alopecia and is underweight.

Gideon arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. While in care, Gideon has been observed to lunge and snap at handlers while in his crate. When a handler rested their hand on top of his crate, Gideon lunged and bit them. This bite was a bite and release that broke skin. 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 love getting pets!

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