Taz ACCT-A-209457 is a 4-year-old female that was brought in by police as a stray on 12/19.
Behavioral:
Per staff on 12/21:
“Taz came out for activity time today. In kennel, she was nervous and was pressed against the door. She sat with her body curled and head lowered. The handler had to lasso her and once secured she came right out. In the room, she was still a bit nervous but opened up when we gave her small pets. the more time we spent with her giving her pets ad soft treats, she solicited slightly more and more. the handler began walking around the room and squeaking all the toys and found the perfect toy that she was obsessed with. she perked right up, became loose and wiggly and ran around with a wagging tail. she would bring the toys back to the handler for fetch and even allowed the handler to take it willingly from her mouth.”
BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 12/20:
”KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray - police
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Taz was laying on her bed low growling when the handler approached. When Taz saw the handler she began to snarl. The handler opened the kennel door and Taz backed up so the handler lowered the divider. The handler tossed the leash in for Taz to sniff and she snapped and grabbed the leash, tugging on it. The handler got her leash back and threw the leash in with some treats, but she refused to eat any. The handler attempted to lasso Taz but Taz did a lot of leash dodging and lip raising. The handler was able to successfully lasso her after several tries, and Taz growled while she secured the leash The handler used the door as a block to lower the leash stopper, and Taz exited very slowly.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally but walked with a stiff body, high flagging tail, and hard stared at the handler throughout the walk. The handler kept her on a short arm leash due to this behavior.
HANDLING:
Taz was very tense and nervous in the room with us. She hard stared and froze when we attempted to touch her, so we took handling extra slow. She was over threshold and refused to eat any treats or wet food. We just sat with her for several minutes, and Taz attempted to solicit at one point by pushing her head into the handler’s hand, but got scared when the handler moved and flinched away. Taz began taking wet food after a few more minutes, and was very gentle when eating out of the handler’s hand. She allowed the main handler to give her some body pets while she ate from her hand, and was more tolerant but still uncomfortable and gave some whale eye. She especially didn’t like things over her head, and would cower and tense up. She showed interest in a toy but was too fearful to engage with it. She showed us that she knows “sit” as well. After several minutes of sitting with her and giving her food, Taz’s tail came untucked and sat in a low position. Unfortunately, Taz never fully relaxed or opened up, but hopefully with time and patience she will open up even more.
