-Tom now responds to Rocky, is a high energy pup who loves walks, runs, and hikes
-When you are done fopr the day he loves to lay on the couch or lay on his dog bed
-He has been learning basic commands like sit, down, stay for short periods of time
-He prefers kibble over wet food
-He has socialized with members of the family and my families german shepperd. It is best for him to continue to meet new people outside of the home then bringing them in after having spent some time together.
-He is vocal when excited and is being worked on currently
-Its best that he is not greeted with lots of excitement as it makes it difficult to calm him down. Meeting him with neutral enrgy while allowing him to inspect and come up to you as hes comfortable has proved to work the best.

In foster:
- Tom has been the sweetest boy. He loves belly rubs and enjoys his walks
- Tom is super excited to receive you. His nature is naturally happy. Additionally he loves to take
naps next to you or when watching tv during the day
- He is very smart! On the first day of fostering, we restricted him from going upstairs and he obeyed!
No need for a pet gate, he knows to wait downstairs
- Sleeps in crate at night without any issues, no barking and patiently waits for you to come to let him
out in the morning
- Tom enjoys his morning and evening walks. He walks great and is curious about his surroundings,
just a tug to lead him in your direction and you got a great walking partner.Hesitant at first, Tom was cautious about car rides however, after the second day, he loves them now! Haven’t gone more than an hour car ride, but he’s done exceptionally well!
- Working on getting him used to daily brushing, he only handles about 5 minutes before pushing
away. Gets slightly vocal when he wants to play (nothing excessive though, just one bark to get your
attention)
- Very social with people so far, receives treats well from others (i.e PetSmart cashier). Is skittish around groups of people, better to introduce individually

Today was out of kennel, lunging and airsnapping whenever trying to move dog on leash. Then becomes affectionate trying to solicit pets and climbing in lap. Tried to pick up to carry back to kennel, dog starting lunging at me snapping at my hands and snapping at my pant leg.
Was able to move back into kennel with leash, did calm down once back in kennel.
Dog appears to be declining in shelter.

Per RP, dog would not get out from under her vehicle. Everytime she tried shooing him away, the dog would snap and growl loudly. Upon arrival, the RP had given the dog hot dogs in an attempt to win the dog over; however, the behavior only got worse as he was possessive over the food. As soon as the dog saw my catch pole, he immediately stepped into defensive action with biting the pole and wire. AC61
