Butcher is not adapting well in a kennel at the shelter and is exhibiting barrier
frustration towards team members and other stimuli. Butcher is a sweet boy. He has
been in and out of the shelter and needs permanent home or long term foster. He is
declining rapidly. He is heavy panting, frantic, frustrated, fecal tracking, and high
pitch on leash reactivity due to his high levels of stress. He is sweet and social once
he can settle for the overwhelming stimuli but in a shelter enrichment he is unable to
fully decompress. He would love to spend his days laying on a comfy couch and
eating treats. He is now injuring himself in his kennel. He is at risk to causing more
harm to himself. This animal would benefit from a calmer environment and training to
be able to cope with changing environments and kenneling.
UPDATE: This animal has shown improvement and is responding to interventions
provided. The commitment date has been removed for now however this animal
would still benefit from foster, rescue, or adoption.
