About Jenga (west)

Boxer / Collie
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Hi, my name is JENGA - ID#A4468562. I am a neutered male, black and white Boxer and Collie - Smooth. The shelter staff think I am about 2 years and 2 months old, and I have been at the shelter since Sep 11, 2020. Here are recent notes about Jenga: 9/13/2020 EVALUATION Avoidant/wary of handler in kennel; came forward with verbal coaxing and allowed leash placement; became affiliative with handler during collar placement; entered yard in forward manner and appeared insecure/undersocialized - pushy and invasive during greetings, whining while attempting to solicit play; pulled strong toward other dogs; when dogs began to play, this dog ran to them and attempted to correct; on and off social interactions but quick to become managerial. 10/6/2020 ENRICHMENT Per volunteer: Easy pull and return, walked with no issues on trail with minimal pulling but just at first. Sat for treats and liked petting and butt rubs. Happy to do some short bursts of jogging and just loped next to me. 10/16/2020 OBSERVATION Easy to leash; exits kennel quick; pulls hard on the leash; allowed handler to put in a quick harness; halfway through the walk trail, Jenga walked right next to handler; alert; soft body with tail wagging when people are passing; affiliative with handler; easy kennel return. Jenga is showing signs of kennel deterioration. This happens to all social animals eventually when they have been incarcerated for long periods of time. They need social interaction whether with other dogs or people. Please consider givng this sweet boy a chance at a life outside of the shelter. 'URGENT' If you have no breed restrictions, please call ASAP = 520-800-4633.
