Blue ACCT-A-162419 is a 1 year old neutered male who came to ACCT as an owner surrender due to the owner moving on 4/21. Owner noted that he is friendly, playful and medium energy. Owner also noted that he is good with children, cats, dogs and strangers. While in a foster home in our care Blue was noted to be reactive when he saw the cats shadow. Due to foster notes Blue would do better in a home with no cats.
On 5/5 foster noted that Blue is a very affectionate dog who lovessss attention from anyone. He is pretty much house-broken with no accidents! He used to pull on the leash a lot, but does not pull on it as much anymore; only when he sees people or animals. I have a cat in a separate room but he will still bark and reacts when he smells her or sees her shadow. However, due to his severe separation anxiety, the foster was no longer able to keep him as a foster. They noted that they left him in his crate while they were gone for 3 hours and the roommate noted that he was whining, barking, clawing, and throwing himself against the crate.
Per Volunteer 4/23:
He's super playful and loves belly rubs!

On 4/22 staff noted- Blue was easy to leash- standing at the front with a wagging tail, soft eyes, and was very patient. no issues exiting or returning. Pulls Minimally On Leash. Loose/Allows all handling. Blue was friendly in the room with us and very well mannered. He allowed all over handling and would lean in for pets and comfort. He was whining and panting a lot indicating stress, but would seek out comfort from his handlers. No interest in treats at this time. Did well meeting multiple staff members.
On 4/21 during intake he was noted to be bright, alert, responsive, anxious but otherwise appears healthy.
