Mushu

My story

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Mushu is at risk due to behavior concerns. While he can be social and responsive with familiar handlers, Mushu frequently retreats to the back of his kennel, dodges the leash, or requires treat luring to be removed from his kennel. He has made progress with muzzle training, often placing his face in the muzzle and allowing brief strapping, though he can become avoidant if not properly reinforced. Mushu has exhibited concerning behaviors such as grabbing at a staff member during a walk and intermittent leash biting, where he would pull staff/handlers' leads to the back of his kennel. On walks, he tends to pull strongly, jump on handlers for treats, and show difficulty managing arousal, especially around other dogs. Medically, Mushu has dermatitis.What my friends at ACC say about me:My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me.I would do best in a home with only adult humans. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 44 Age: 1yrs 4mths 0wks
