Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could 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

Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could she do well with kids? 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

Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children around 12 years old on a kid-by-kid basis.Could he 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.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal: Fog is energetic with excitement when he first gets out of the kennel. He loves romping around in the fenced in yard and loves playing with his favorite toy, an egg shaped jolly ball. He likes to go for walks on trails where he can sniff and occasionally graze on grass. He is very smart and a master at treat puzzles. He enjoys doing training sessions, which help with his anxiety he unfortunately has acquired with living in a shelter setting. He can be shy and aloof when he first meets you, but once he gets to know you, he`s so happy to see you and spend time with you. He loves peanut butter and whipped cream pup cups. He also is a big fan of his frozen treat filled Kongs! He is adorable with the cutest ears, where one is always slightly bent.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Fog is an energetic and playful dog who needs training in leash manners, as he tends to pull and zigzag. He accepts handling well and shows no resource guarding outside his kennel, though he does guard his food and space. Fog knows basic cues like sit, come, wait, and stay and can be gently lowered into a down position. His behavior around people is generally good; he enjoys playing without being overly aggressive, especially with toys like tug-of-war. While he greets strangers appropriately, he may jump lightly and take a few minutes to warm up. He initially greeted another dog rudely but calmed down with correction, showing a strong desire to play. He is stable and recovers quickly from startling, but he requires an active handler.---For more resources to help with at any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT

He enjoyed playing with every toy we had and is just an all-around happy boy. He is a little mouthy when he gets excited, so will need work on his manners. He will also need work on leash walking and basic commands. He is a little hand shy, but recovers quickly.

Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could she do well with kids? Yes, with children 16 years and older. There may need to be multiple meets.Could she do well with other dogs? We believe she would do best as the only dog in the home.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: Mini is a lovely girl excited to get out and go on adventures. Mini is great on a leash. She tolerates handling at first but then starts to enjoy it and leans into you, wanting more; she is curious about her surroundings and the handler. Mini is a bit more cautious about new people and objects; she likes to take time to investigate. She decides if she’d like to interact or not. She was initially okay with a female but growled when she hunched over to pet her on the head. Mini was standoffish, growled, barked, and asked for space when introduced to a male. Squeaker scared her and doesn’t know any behavior cues. There is very little startling when it comes to different objects. She’d rather avoid the object than investigate it. There was no resource guarding to be cautious about, even when removing the resource. During the dog-to-dog greeting, she tried to bite three other times and connected one time; it was easy to redirect, but she still returned to fixating on the tester dog and trying to bite again. She must be the only dog in the home, as she will be selective.---For more resources to help with any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT
