Pre-Screener Form

Buggy is at risk due to behavioral reasons. While in care, Buggy has been observed to be highly rope reactive. Noted to jump up and bite the leash. This behavior is very difficult to redirect, and in one instance when Buggy was attempting to bite the leash, he almost bit the handler's foot. While with handlers, Buggy is receptive to treats and the cue sit. Medically, Buggy is receiving treatment for CIRDC.

Buggy arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. While in care, Buggy has been observed to be highly rope reactive. Noted to jump up and bite the leash. This behavior is very difficult to redirect, and in one instance when Buggy was attempting to bite the leash, he almost bit the handler's foot. 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!
