Behavioral:
Per volunteer 11/9: Rocky Jr is a happy boy who looked forward to getting out of his kennel! He was very interested in exploring his surroundings and sniffing around the yard!
10/29/24 volunteer notes: Very affectionate boy that loved being petted. Also loves sniffing! Very attracted to other dogs and it appeared like it would be a friendly interaction based on his body language.
Per staff 10/28: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Rocky Jr.
KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray- Police pickup
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Rocky Jr. was on the backside of kennel and was greeting another staff member. He came over with mid level wags, soft eyes, and a relaxed body. For leashing he sniffed the leash and was very patient. Once secured he came right out.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately
HANDLING:
In the eval room, Rocky Jr was very social and friendly. Warming up to some cue toe taps, cuddles and getting some nice rubs. He can get a bit over stimulated with ooty scratches and gets a bit mouthy, vocal grunting, and frustrated. He allowed all handling and remained loose and wiggly. He takes treats gently and knows how to sit. He is very affectionate and a playful boy. Everytime another staff member entered the room, he followed them around until they said hi to him.
