Background:Oreo Jones was brought to our shelter by police officers after being found loose at Captain Rivera Playground. Upon arrival, he displayed signs of shyness and fear, indicative of a potentially challenging past.Behavior Assessment:During his assessment on April 17, 2024, Oreo Jones demonstrated mild strength and pulling while on a leash. He showed no reactivity to humans or other dogs but appeared aloof with both the handler and other stimuli. Despite his initial shyness, he readily approached when called over and displayed a social demeanor by jumping up on the handler.Interactions:Oreo Jones's interactions with toys and other dogs indicate some potential challenges. While he displayed interest in gripping toys firmly, he moved away with a tense body when approached. Additionally, his reaction to other dogs at the gate suggests a level of tension and arousal.Energy Level and Recommendations:Given his unknown history, Oreo Jones's energy level and behavior in a home environment remain uncertain. However, we recommend activities such as long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to regular exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.Behavior Determination:Oreo Jones has been assessed as a Level 4 dog. Due to his poor basic manners, low threshold for arousal, and potential for defensive aggression, we recommend an adult-only home at this time.Potential Challenges:Oreo Jones may exhibit challenges related to resource guarding, basic manners, fearful/defensive behavior, leash-biting, and low threshold for arousal. Patience, positive reinforcement, and force-free training techniques will be essential in addressing these challenges.Despite his complexities, Oreo Jones has the potential to become a loving and loyal companion in the right environment. With patience, understanding, and proper training, he can overcome his past and thrive in a supportive home. If you're prepared to provide Oreo Jones with the care and guidance he needs, he could be the perfect addition to your family.
