Pre-Screener Form
Apollo is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. In the care center, Apollo has shown fearful behavior and difficulty walking in and out of the kennel area, including dodging the leash, balking, refusing to walk, and becoming overwhelmed by barking dogs and sudden sounds. More recently, Apollo has become highly aroused around other dogs, hard barking, pulling, thrashing, rolling, and attempting to back out of the leash. Outside of these moments, Apollo is social and affectionate with handlers, leaning into petting and seeking attention. Medically, Apollo is apparently healthy.
Apollo came into the QUACC after being brought in as a stray. In the care centers, Apollo has been fearful and hesitant to leave his kennel, requiring leash pressure and coaxing to walk. Once out of the kennel and given time to warm up, he becomes more social and will lean into petting and solicit attention from staff. As a result, we recommend Apollo is placed with one of our New Hope Partners.
