Campana has not acclimated well to the shelter enviornment and is not allowing handling. She has escalated to hard barking, growling, baring teeth, and snapping at handlers and during leashing. Once out of her kennel, she thrashes, flails, and air-snaps at the lead for the duration of her time outside. Camapna did escalate to biting a staff member when they were trying to clip their ring on their finger. The bite did not break the skin. Her previous owner reported that she enjoys chicken treats and when they would take her on runs in the park. Campana was surrendered due to her no-pet policy. Campana's previous owner described her as playful and independent, and she enjoys running, chicken treats, baths, and being brushed. She is comfortable getting into a car, although she may be slightly nervous. Campana has not acclimated well to the shelter enviornment and would benefit from placement in an adult-only home with a New Hope partner due to behavioral concerns that will require an experienced and supportive home who can provide appropriate management, decompression, and consistent force-free, reward-based training. Campana may have the opportunity to successfully transition into a home environment. She has demonstrated fear-based behaviors and reactivity toward unfamiliar people and dogs, including hard barking, growling, and lunging. She has also shown significant difficulty with leash handling, including thrashing, flailing, and air snapping, and previously bit a handler's finger during an attempt to return her to her kennel; the bite did not break the skin. Campana is also reported to guard food and treats and does not tolerate nail trimming.
