Sorry, this pet is for new hope partners only
Buddy is in need of emergency placement due to behavior concerns. Buddy was brought to the care centers because of his behavior which included growling, intense barking, showing his teeth, and making attempts to bite family members. This behavior was observed when they interacted with him following instances of inappropriate behavior, such as chewing on the door. However, when he feels at ease, he responds to cues such as sit, paw, and down according to his owner. While at the care centers, Buddy exhibits similar behaviors, disregarding high-value treats offered to encourage interaction. There have been instances of him escalating to growling, hard barking barking, and even biting an object on one occasion. Medically, Buddy has Otitis Extern.
