Pre-Screener Form
Thunderbird is at risk due to behavioral concerns. In the Care Centers, Thunderbird is fearful and has previously been observed escalating to growling and baring her teeth. Over time, she has warmed up to select staff members but continues to require significant coaxing to engage. Most recently, she growled when walking by an unfamiliar person. Around familiar people, Thunderbird will take treats and solicit attention, although she continues to display a tucked tail, indicating ongoing apprehension. Medically, Thunderbird has allergies, and alopecia.
Thunderbird came into ACC as an agency stray. During her stay at the care center, Thunderbird has been very fearful at times, presenting with a tight body frame and tucked tail. Thunderbird is noted enjoy baby talk and treats. When attempting to leash her for her medical exam, she was observed to be running back and forth to the front and back of the kennel, hard barking and baring teeth; due to her behavior prior to the medical exam, she was given more time to decompress before the medical exam is attempted again. Due to behavior in the care center, we recommend placement in an adult-only home through a New Hope partner. 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.
