She would grab at fingers when anticipating treats, showing a lack of manners. Although she displayed minimal interest in the food dish, taking only a few bites before wandering off.Her play style is exuberant, with frequent jumping, the height she can reach is limited by her weight. She showed little understanding of how to engage with toys, and her attention quickly waned. Harley would become overstimulated, barking for attention and attempting to jump on new people, but she was more composed when interacting with another dog without being overwhelming.---For more resources to help with any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT

Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Behavior Profile Color(s): OrangeOrange—Has behavior traits that require breed and/or specialized experience with dogs.Could he do well with kids? We recommend that Goose go to an adult only household.Could he do well with other dogs? Goose can be selective with other dogs. Multiple meets might be necessary.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Goose is a powerful and energetic dog who exhibits signs of barrier frustration, often eagerly pushing through the kennel door to get outside. While he can be guided back into his kennel, he demonstrates strong pulling on the leash due to his excitement but does not jump on people. Initially, he takes a moment to warm up to new handlers and shows some sensitivity around his tail, which may lead him to chase it compulsively.During play, Goose can become overly stimulated, resulting in nipping at legs and attempting to jump at hands and arms. He loves playing with toys and may display possessive behavior, particularly with squeaky toys and tennis balls. Although Goose knows the sit cue,, his excitement can hinder his focus, and he may respond with barking and lunging when feeling pressured.Goose has a tendency to startle at everyday objects like metal dishes and umbrellas; his reactions range from curiosity to defensiveness, especially when handlers interact with these objects. In a resource guarding test, he exhibited aggressive behavior, snapping at a fake hand when prompted.In interactions with strangers, Goose shows both offensive and defensive behaviors, making it challenging to redirect his focus. He initially approaches a stranger with curiosity but can quickly escalate to trying to bite. His play with another dog, Zane, starts off a bit rough with attempts to mount, but after burning off some energy, his demeanor improves, although handlers kept hold of leashes during their interaction.---For more resources to help with any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT

Yes, with children 14 years and older.Could she do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Tiger Lily is an energetic girl who loves to explore at a calmer pace. To keep her engaged, using high-value toys is essential, as standard treats may not capture her focus. While there were no signs of food guarding, she showed excitement over a tug toy and attempted to reach for it. Her handling went well, and I was able to check her mouth, noticing some decay and swelling in her bottom and back canines. She adjusted to the tug rope but initially struggled to hold it due to her dental issues.On a leash, she behaves fairly well but may cough with neck pressure. Her recall off-leash is unknown, and she shows some frustration in the kennel. She allows leash attachment when the door opens. During dog greetings, she was curious and disengaged well, but she displayed slight rudeness toward an unfamiliar male, leading to some reactive behavior before we distanced her from the situation.---For more resources to help with any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT
