My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Biscuit!

Biscuit came to us as a stray with an unknown history and has shown himself to be energetic, curious, and social with staff. He can be reactive around other dogs and nervous in new situations, but he enjoys attention and will happily engage in play and enrichment activities.



My Ideal Home

Biscuit would thrive in a calm, adult-only home. He needs an adopter experienced with dogs who require structure, patience, and guidance. A home with daily physical and mental enrichment, including walks, play, and interactive toys, will help him settle and build confidence. Slow introductions to new people and controlled environments are recommended.



Good with Kids?

No - Biscuit is recommended for adults only due to his fearfulness, low threshold for arousal, and resource guarding tendencies.



Good with Other Pets?

Biscuit has limited dog history. In shelter observations, he has shown reactivity toward dogs, including barking, lunging, and hackling during introductions or barrier frustration. No cat history is known.



Leash Manners

Biscuit is a strong puller and can become reactive when walking near other dogs. He requires consistent, structured leash training and should be walked with proper equipment to manage strength and arousal. Short, focused sessions and reinforcement of default behaviors ("Leave it," "Sit," "Down") are recommended.



Overall Health

Healthy overall.



Behavior Determination

Level 4 - New Hope/Experienced Adopters. Biscuit has a low threshold for arousal, exhibits resource guarding, and requires an adult-only, structured home with patience and guidance.



Other Fun Facts

Biscuit enjoys toys, enrichment games, and interactive training sessions. He leans into contact when comfortable and shows a wiggly, playful side with people he trusts. In calm, one-on-one interactions, he is affectionate and eager to engage, rewarding patience and gentle handling.
