About Seaweed (west)

Pit Bull mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Hi, my name is SEAWEED - ID#A4430230. I am a spayed female, brown and white American Pit Bull Terrier. The shelter staff think I am about 4 years old, and I have been at the shelter since Jun 17, 2020. Seaweed is a shy boy, but will warm up slowly if you are patient. Here are all the notes we have about him: 6/17/2020 OBSERVATION Barked and had tail tucked when officer approached, once out of the kennel approached with tail wagging, avoided officer, finder was able to walk dog ot truck and load into the truck without issue. 6/18/2020 EVALUATION Stoic in the kennel; head ducked the leash. Wary once out; allowed handling and collar placement. Nervous entrance and greeting. Timid but interested in the yard lead; sought attention with further interactions. Explored the yard; timid but tolerant around the other dogs. 6/24/2020 OBSERVATION Wary, wide eyed, growling in kennel; ducked leash; flinched when lassod; coaxed out of kennel and walked to yard; explored yard; wary, avoidant of handler; slowly came forward to take treats but remained tense and wary of handler; did not attempt to pet; removed leash with second leash on return. 6/25/2020 OBSERVATION Very avoidant of leash placement, but eventually walked through loop; walked well to yard; stayed close to handler in yard; initially wary of handler but allowed petting; moved closer to solicit more petting when handler stopped; allowed slow leash removal on return Seaweed is being placed on new hope portal as non-urgent behavior due to timid behavior observed in shelter setting; behavior staff will be working with this dog (adoptable- behav mod). We recommend older children; allow time for dog to acclimate to unfamiliar eople/situations; may benefit from non-punishment based training/behavior assistance in home setting 'URGENT' If you have no breed restrictions, please call ASAP = 520-800-4633 PLEASE NOTE: You must have an appointment to go to shelter to meet this dog.
