Meet Barrett ACCT-A-208384! This adorable guy is a 2-year-old male who came in as a stray on 12/5. The finder noted that Barrett was “social and allowed all handling.”
Behavior Notes:
Per volunteer on 12/9: I was a little too nervous to take barrett out myself as I had just leveled up to blue not to long ago so I decided to ask a staff member to take him out with me. His notes said that he tries to mount and leash bite. He did not try to leash bite my leash whatsoever. He did try to mount me and the staff member multiple times. He seems very treat motivated and knows sit and both paws. I had no problems taking him or returning him to kennel. He seems like a very sweet boy he just gets easily aroused.
12/5 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION:
KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Barrett was standing at the front stress panting with wide eyes, wagging tail and neutral body. When the handler reached in with the leash he began to mouth at it but calmed down for a firm no. He allowed for easy leashing and came out without issue. No issues returning
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately, leash bites at times
HANDLING:
Barrett was friendly in the room but quite stressed! He was panting heavily and had wide soft eyes. He allowed handling from both of us in the room and would solicit attention, leaning in when being pet, but would get overstimulated and begin to mount the handler. He did this frequently and was very persistent but was able to be redirected away from mourning with treats or pet corrector. He took treats gently when offered as well and showed knowledge of sit.
PLAY:
Engages in play, but begins to mount
TOYS:
Interest but no possession
Medical Notes:
Per exam on 12/5: “Eyes are red, ears are red with dried white debris. Dry abrasions on bridge of nose. Red gums and yellow teeth. Thinning fur on head between ears. Appears to have very high energy otherwise appears healthy food motivated.”
