Background:Mr. Peaches arrived at our shelter on April 19, 2024, brought in as a stray with no prior history. Since then, he's been adjusting to shelter life while awaiting his chance for a forever home.Behavior Assessment:During his assessment on April 20, 2024, Mr. Peaches displayed some interesting behaviors. He exhibited no strength or pulling while on leash and showed no reactivity to humans or other dogs. In a controlled environment, Mr. Peaches was initially fearful but approached with coaxing. He showed some anxiety during soft and exuberant handling, displaying a tense body, whale eye, and lip licking.Interactions:Mr. Peaches is a timid but gentle soul who is slowly coming out of his shell. He enjoys soft voices and timidly approaches for interaction. His fondness for viennas is a delightful quirk that makes him endearing. With patience and understanding, Mr. Peaches has the potential to become a devoted companion.Energy Level and Recommendations:While we have no history on Mr. Peaches's behavior in a home environment, he will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and happy. Long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and gentle exercise will help him adjust positively to his new surroundings.Behavior Determination:Mr. Peaches has been assessed as a Level 3 dog. His fearful nature suggests that he would do best in an adult-only home where he can receive patient and understanding care. Given time and a calm environment, Mr. Peaches has the potential to thrive and become a cherished member of the family.Potential Challenges:Mr. Peaches's fearful behavior may present challenges in an unfamiliar or noisy environment. Adopters should be prepared to give him time to acclimate to his new surroundings and provide a calm and quiet home environment. With proper care and patience, Mr. Peaches will surely blossom into a loving companion.Despite his uncertainties and anxieties, Mr. Peaches is a sweet and gentle dog with a heart of gold. If you're willing to open your heart and home to him, you'll be rewarded with unwavering loyalty and endless love. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 54 Age: 5yrs 1mths 0wks
