Characteristics: Chaos was found as a stray tied to a fire hydrant and severely malnourished. He was HW+ and needed entropian surgery. He was nursed back to health but is still learning how to be a dog. Chaos is sweet, friendly and goofy. He playfully interacts with other dogs & shows no signs of aggression but he can be selective so slow intros needed. He is fully potty trained, crate trained and treadmill trained. He would do best with a family that wants to keep him active and mentally fulfilled.
Notes from evaluator: He resource guards his ball & growls. The owner is able to get the ball from him & then he is ready to play again. She has trained & worked with him to release the ball. He will need to be reinforced to understand letting go. Chaos is a very happy dog. He loves attention and has the “rottie lean”. He listens to commands and seems to get along with other dogs. He is playful. The owner mentioned it’s like he is just learning to be a dog. He is a great dog who needs to be in a home where he can run, play & be a dog!. An active home will probably be good for him. Due to his toy guarding, the owner thinks he will be better in a home with children at least 10 yrs & up because younger children have a tendency to try taking toys out of a dog’s mouth without thinking about it. Chaos is a wonderful boy but he needs an owner who will create and reinforce boundaries for him.
