Dozer ACCT-A-178695 is a 5-year-old male who came in as a stray on 10/19. Dozer with picked up by animal protection officers and they noted "Super friendly and silly, all allows all over handling.
Behavior Notes:
10/25 per volunteer- This guy is HILARIOUS! Dozer is obsessed with balls and did endless laps around the big run to collect every ball he could. Dozer wanted to keep every ball he found, at one point he was carrying three in his mouth at once! He proudly jumped up on the bench to show me his prizes, then kept going to the fence and pawing at the gate. Dozer is a toy hoarder! He brought two balls back to his kennel and buried them under his blanket.
10/21 staff noted: Dozer was standing on the bed with wide dilated eyes. The handler lowered the divider and he came to the front and was a little nervous of the leash with wide eyes and tried to push out while the handler quickly leashed him. Pulls strongly on leash. In the yard, Dozer was neutral and a bit stressed. He walked around pacing and stress panting. He was calm when another handler entered the yard but did not solicit any attention. He allowed all handling and was neutral for everything. He seems housetrained and showed no interest in play or toys.
Per staff 10/21: "When I tried leashing Dozer, he was very avoidant and began some wide whale eyes. I approached his kennel with some food as he was laying on his bed. He came up slowly to sniff me and I tossed some treats in. he took the treats, so I went in with some more treats and he ate them from my hand. he gave me some wide eyes and got stiff, so I closed the kennel door and gave him some more treats through the bars. when I tried leashing again, he ran to the back side and would flinch whenever I would lasso him, and the leash touched him slightly. after continuing this a couple times, I decide to try at another date.
Medical History:
Per an intake exam on 10/19: His teeth had sever staining and his coat had some flea dirt but he was otherwise in good general health. Staff noted him to be bright, alert, responsive and friendly.
