Border Collie (Medium Coat)
Description:
02/28/26 15:43 When staff approached the kennel to leash him, he readily walked into the leash loop on his own. Outside of the kennel, he was friendly and highly social, seeking attention from staff members.He approached multiple staff, sniffed appropriately, leaned into them, and moved his head to solicit petting.He allowed full physical restraint during handling (prior to vaccination) without issue.He was easily distracted by environmental smells while outside.When a muzzle was placed, he initially allowed it.However, when staff approached to administer a vaccine, he became highly aroused and began snapping and whipping his head around. He remained elevated/aroused until he was physically moved away from the vaccination area.Overall, he demonstrates friendly, social behavior in general handling situations, with heightened sensitivity during medical procedures involving injections. MH02/19/26 14:51Needs rescue urgent due to handling sensitivities, leading to attempts to bite and thrashing to deter handlers when being restrained or attempting to vaccinate; Bites made contact but did not break skin. Unable to fully vaccinate due to this behavior. Easily aroused and displays rowdy behavior, nipping at extremities when excited and attempting to mount/hump when interacting with handlers.
