Pre-Screener Form

Zoolander came to ACC when his owner could no longer care for him. His previous owners describe Zoolander as a social, affectionate, playful and loving dog who likes to spend time where his people are and loves squeaky toys. While at the care center, Zoolander has been social with staff and been eager participant in training, but has shown high arousal behaviors, including leash biting and jumping up on handlers. During a trial adoption in September 2026, he was reported to show fearful and defensive behavior, including growling and baring his teeth, at an unfamiliar family member, and growling and backing away from the adopter's son. They also report that he would growl when approached while lying on a bed or blanket. Due to these concerns, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
