My story
Happy is a lively boy at the age of one. His previous owner was unable to continue taking care of h im due to financial difficulties and having to move overseas. After being unable to find a new hom e for Happy, his owner contacted the Pack for help. Happy is currenty being trained and evaluated by a foster family, and though he is a bit mischievious, he is also clever and learns things quickly. Are you willing to give him a chance?
Personality
Happy doesn’t hide his emotions, and will bark a warning if a stranger gets too close. Give him f ive minutes to make sure you aren’t a threat, and then he will happily beg you to pet him by sho ving his head in your hand. Happy is a bit sensitive, and prefers to dodge or escape if provoked. G ive him some time to adapt and it won’t be a problem.

My Behavior
1
Tolerance Levels
At PACK Academy, we socialize our dogs by exposing them to different stimuli and recording their tolerance levels for each one. These oservations help us understand the dogs better, which then helps us find suitable homes for them.
Strangers
Happy will actively approach strangers, but keeps a distance at first. He needs time to warm up to you before asking for hugs and pets.
Dogs
Happy enjoys the company of dogs in all sizes, and playing with them makes him feel at ease.
Cats
We have not yet monitored Happy’s interaction with cats.
Kids
We have not yet monitored Happy’s interaction with children.
Noise
Happy is sensitive to noises and will get scared and try to run away, but recovers quickly.
Touch

Behavior observations
There are some common behavior issues that we see in dogs who have spent a significant amount of time in a shelter. We assess our dogs for these behaviors and provide training plans for adopters to help manage them.
Barking
When nervous, Happy barks as warning.
Separation Anxiety
Happy does not have separation anxiety.
Aggression
Happy’s play-bites are somewhat strong, and nips as a warning to unwanted touch of his paws. T o ensure this doesn’t progress into violence, we are currently putting more effort into his training.
Resource Guarding
Happy is normally less than enthusiastic when it comes to food, but one should still procede with c aution.
Destructive Chewing
Happy has yet to destroy anything in the house.
