SWCP 2017 Day 11:  Helford to Falmouth May 22nd

 Textures of a Dream

If yesterday was a day of luxuriant vegetation – some of it very annoying, like the nettles we had to wade through behind the beach at Godrevy Cove – that could describe today as well. But the unique attribute today was texture, first hitting me along the shore of the Helford River as we waited for the ferry, then later manifested in moss on stone and trees, and in the stone itself.

I quoted my hiking companion’s passage about the Lizard a couple of blog-days ago. His reference to the fairy tale landscape resonated with me, and looking back at my Thames Path notes, I see a similar sentiment on the second day’s entry: “Rolling hills and fertile plains, fields bounded by ancient hedges or stacked stones, one-lane roads following a cow path from a thousand years ago. Swans (the first I’d seen this trip) and reeds, lush fields and lush weeds; the first willows I’d seen this high up the river, too. I stopped and recorded ambient sound for a moment, birdsong and—yes—the wind in the willows…. Even the woodlands hold signs of ancient habitation. This is the landscape of our childhood stories, of our dreams.” So with all the fascinating textures I saw today, I’ll title the post “Textures of a Dream”.

We started the day by cooking our own breakfasts (essentially Full English) and cleaned up afterwards, and still were out the door before 10 am.  However, we had a very short distance to go to reach the ferry landing, and the real hiking wouldn’t start until we were across the Helford. That ended up taking a while.

We turned the wooden sign to signal that we wanted a ride, and saw a small boat start out a few minutes later. It didn’t get far before stopping; not our ferry after all? In the meantime several other passengers had shown up, plus a couple of people who were just admiring the view. Next to the dock area a wide expanse of layered, broken rocks lay visible at this tide level, almost covered with shells when you looked closely. These ranged from some kind of dark mussels to the light-grey flattened cones of limpets, and tiny barnacles over everything. From a distance the barnacles were just irregular patches of pale grey like lichen. Blue-green fronds of seaweed were dotted with yellow-brown nodules: flotation bubbles, my friend Tim tells me.

After about 20 minutes a boat did arrive, and explained the first boat we saw was our intended ferry, but it had engine problems. Our fellow passengers included a couple of muzzled dogs. This was a mid-sized water taxi, smaller than the one last year from Rock to Falmouth, but definitely bigger than the little boat that took us across Gillan Creek yesterday afternoon. Dozens of small boats, mostly sailboats, were moored nearby. By 10:30 we were in Helford Passage on the north side, paying for our passage, and then on the trail up the hillside, a glorious day. The trail followed one edge of a pasture with small trees and shrubs to our right, the river and Channel visible between them, with odd-shaped tall pines framing the view behind us. A woman stormed down the trail, back towards Helford Passage, muttering something about not wanting to get any closer to the cattle. We did see some cows near the trail in the next stretch, but paid them no mind. I noticed later in Michael Kent’s Cornwall from the Coast Path that he was accosted near here by a charging “herd of bullocks”, and jumped into a stand of gorse to escape them, so maybe she had a point. Or rather, they did.

Within 20 minutes we were back down at beach level, and passed a gentleman asking if we had seen his wife. We broke the news to him, which set him to muttering about bus schedules. This was Trebah Beach at the delightfully named Polgwidden Cove, and the lush wooded area above here was Trebah Gardens. After a short stretch of cliff walking we were in another lush area, Glendurgan Gardens, and more striking textures of bark, moss, and other vegetation. This is owned by the National Trust, and several attractive side trails beckoned us. We followed a diversion a short distance, enjoying scenery unlike any other I’d seen on the trail, but soon rejoined the Path and reached another pebble beach, Durgan. Rob spotted a small cave further down the beach so we headed to investigate. I was unduly nervous about being any distance from escape if the tide was coming back in, but we were less than 100 feet from the trail. The cave was narrow and not very deep; I found the rock textures more interesting, with complex folding of the sedimentary rocks interrupted by veins of pink and white quartz.

Then a little before 11 we climbed back up to round Toll Point and Mawnan Shear, marking the northeast end of the Helford River inlet, with a nice view across to Nare Head and Nare Point where we had enjoyed the visit with the Coast Watch yesterday. Ahead was Shag Rock beyond Parson’s Beach, but the beach was flooded at this tide level. (Maybe I wasn’t quite so silly to be worried earlier at that cave excursion…) We were well past Glendurgan Gardens, but still passing through stretches of impressive woods, and fascinating textures of moss on the trailside rocks and trees. Then, rounding Rosemullion Head, we had our first good view of Falmouth at about 12:20. I couldn’t make out details by eye, but in the picture the beach and hotels facing south are clear, with the cranes of the harbor behind them, and Pendennis Castle to the east. Further east we could see St. Mawes and the St. Anthony Lighthouse where I had expected we would be walking tomorrow. Back to the south I could see much of our route from yesterday, Nare Point and Nare Head, St. Dennis above St. Anthony-in-Meneage, and off the coast, the Manacles rocks.

A little after 1 pm we reached Maenporth Beach and had lunch at a beach café: crab sandwich for me, my usual fare for beach bistros. The next stretch of trail wasn’t very memorable until we approached Falmouth. I took a picture of a bench with a plaque recording its presentation by the members of the Falmouth Home Guard who patrolled this area for German landings. I particularly liked the last line of the plaque: “Thus they watched 1000 dawns appear across these great waters which form our country’s moat.” Then we arrived at the pretty beach of Swanpool, separated by a very narrow strip from the pond of that name; I saw seagulls and plenty of ducks, but no swans. A climb up the low clifftop beyond gave a brief non-urban interlude, and by 3 we were back along the road above the beach, although there was a very pleasant urban garden. We followed the grandiosely named Cliff Road, admired an odd folly built over stairs down to the beach, then enjoyed a brief diversion exploring a park north of the road: more pleasant trees and benches, but particularly memorable were a recessed fern garden, and adjoining concrete alcoves with bench seats. The alcove walls and ceilings were completely covered with shells.

We then passed only a block from our destination for the night (and the next), the Falmouth Hotel, but I didn’t realize that till later. We continued along Cliff Road until it joined Castle Drive and followed that towards Pendennis Castle (see photo at top). Reaching that, we decided to take an hour to see it, and have tea (and scone, for me) in the old barracks building. The original castle dates all the way back to Tudor times, built by Henry VIII for defense against the Spanish and French. The star-shaped earthworks were constructed under Elizabeth. We enjoyed the displays, which included figures of cannon crews complete with sound effects and “smoke”. The grounds include a display of artillery from later centuries.

We completed our walk around Pendennis Point, perhaps not exactly on the Coast Path, then along the harbor; a navy ship was undergoing either final fitting after delivery from the shipyards, or perhaps a refit. Then we made our way back to the Falmouth Hotel, checked in and dropped our packs, and headed out to see a bit more of the town. Dinner was at Cribbs Caribbean, a seafood stew for me. This last day of hiking had been wonderful weather, 10 miles officially and not much over that by my GPS, and 1440 feet up and down. As I mentioned yesterday, my plan had been to hike again tomorrow, and bus back to Falmouth, but that turned out to be impossible. So we would spend the day sightseeing, and a very pleasant day it was.

I’ll include the notes for that day in this post – the highlight was the Maritime Museum, which had displays on the Bounty, including a reconstruction of the Bounty’s launch or longboat, on which Bligh and 18 of his crew set out on a 3500 mile epic voyage after the mutiny. (One of his crew was shipwrecked on a later voyage in this area, and repeated a large part of this feat.) The museum has trophy winning racing boats and a variety of other craft, but also interesting displays on the history and environment of the area. To my delight, they had a portion of a pilchard palace, demonstrating what those narrow brick holes in the walls were for: wooden beams ran from these holes over barrels filled with pilchards and salt, with a large stone weighting the end to press down on blocks connecting to a plate inside the barrel, over the fish. I’d read that the brick openings somehow related to the fish pressing, but had no idea what that meant!

Falmouth proved a lovely town to walk around, and I spotted a gift for Kat in a store window. I also enjoyed a monument composed of an abstract red metal sculpture posed over a chunk of granite, with an oddly shaped black metal object off to the side – the names of Henry Moore, Max Ernst, and Man Ray were carved in the wood planks the granite rested on. Apparently this commemorates an amazing holiday enjoyed near Falmouth in June of 1937, with an extraordinary group of Surrealist artists including Man Ray and Max Ernst, and also Paul Elouard, Roland Penrose, and the photographer Lee Miller. I don’t think Henry Moore was ever considered a Surrealist, but he was friends with many of them and dropped by the party. Max Ernst had instigated the trip, to evade a spurious arrest warrant instigated by the family of his girlfriend. The red metal portion of this sculptural monument is a clear gesture to Moore, but the Max Ernst and Man Ray elements escape me. 

We had dinner in a South African restaurant named Amanzi. I enjoyed a unique dish Bobotie, whose description I will copy from their menu: “mutton, almonds and raisins with a baked egg and cream topping served with yellow raisin rice and Mrs. Balls chutney.” Looking over their menu on the web, I’d love to go back and dine there several more times.

Back at the hotel (before dinner, actually), I desperately needed to spend a couple of hours working on the programming survey for the upcoming ArmadilloCon convention. My plan had been to get that sent out before leaving for vacation, so answers would come back soon after I got home, but I was running behind.

Then Rob had some travel planning drama to rival my failure to check the bus routes. He had thought his flight back left a little after midnight on the 25th, so he had not made hotel reservations in London, planning to go directly to the airport. It was actually just after noon, so he had to scramble and find a room. That did gve us the afternoon of the 24th to sightsee in London, which we didn’t optimize, but I enjoyed an hour at The Tate (visiting the Turner collection in particular) and a large sculptural monument to the Battle of Britain that I think was new, as I had not seen it before. We also stumbled on a statue of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and I had to take a picture, after riding his Great Western that morning.

Being Alone, Apparently, and Cats: Mnck ID 62206, 4 YRS, 82 LBS BROOKLYN ACC BIG, FRIENDLY, SOCIAL, WAG GY & SWEET BOY LIKES DOGS. TO BE KILLED – 5/16/2019 Big, friendly, waggy and sweet, MacK was found wandering, scared and alone in the streets of NYC. He may be a big boy, but at that moment he was just a lost little boy on the inside. Dragged into the shelter by police via a rabies pole, his arrival at the care center was nothing short of terrifying. We can't blame him for his anxiety and confusion. But with a few days behind him, he has warmed up nicely to some of his favorite staff members and is a real heartbreaker, soft and attention seeking and a lover of treats. What a stunner too! His one magnificent icy blue eye, the other a warm brown, and his size – he’s 82 lbs of cookies and cream. He loves treats, he enjoys his time in playgroup with his girlfriends (like Sassy for example) and he is so stoic and patient, even when they jump all over him. He understands the meaning of “gentleman” and takes it all in stride. MacK truly needs a loving family, an experienced foster or adopter in an adult only home where he can decompress, relax, open his heart to his new family and feel safe and loved. Will you be the one to make his dream of a family come true? Message our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance fostering or adopting treat loving, heart stealing MacK now! MY MOVIE! I make friends with Sassy, she’s great! https://youtu.be/_OqIuCf0X2g ZEUS, ID# 62206, 4 Yrs.

Orange AT RISK NOTE: Although MacK has shown improvement with certain handlers in the care center, he has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. 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. Mack was also diagnosed with CIRDC and would have to stay away from other dogs for the next 14 days after diagnosed. INTAKE BEHAVIOR – DATE OF INTAKE, 5/7/2019: Mack was snapping, growling and lunging when being taken out of the crate. No handling was done. SURRENDER NOTES – BASIC INFORMATION: Mack is a large white and black dog that was found loose in the street and was brought to the ACC as a stray.

In order to minimize Mack's stress levels, the assessment was concluded. PLAYGROUP NOTES – DOG TO DOG SUMMARIES: Mack was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. 5/8: When off leash at the Care Center, Mack is introduced to a novel female dog. He is sexually motivated as he greets the female and places his chin over her back. Mack positions himself to mount the female but is interrupted by handlers. Mack walks away to explore the pens. 5/9: Mack was introduced to a novel female again today. He greets her with a soft body and wanders around the yard. He does give the female one quick bounce when she solicits play but does not reciprocate otherwise. Summary (1):: Mack understands the cue for "sit". INTAKE BEHAVIOR – DATE OF INTAKE: 5/7/2019 Summary:: Baring teeth, growling, lunging and snapping; No handling performed MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial:: 5/8/2019 Summary:: Initially hyperactive, allowed muzzle, escalated to hard stare, growling and head whipping ENERGY LEVEL:: MacK has been observed to exhibit a medium level of energy during his interactions in the care center. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 5/10: Mack was laying in his kennel as handler approached. When handler removed the blocker and Mack noticed her, he stood and gave tail wags. As handler unlocked his kennel, She offered Mack a treat, which he took gently. Mack was easily removed from the kennel and walked out with a loose body, showing no reactivity to the barking dogs as he passed them. Once outside, mack relieved himself at the gate and was brought back inside for his interaction. After his interaction was over, Mack walked back to his kennel with the handler, returning to a loose body and showing no reactivity to passing staff members. Mack allowed the handler to pet his head and back on his way back to his kennel, giving tail wags the whole way. Mack was returned to his kennel without any issues. 5/12: Mack allowed very exuberant handling while maintaining a wiggly body. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable MacK is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Although MacK has shown improvement with certain handlers in the care center, he has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. 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. Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Kennel presence Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: MacK displays handling sensitivity during his interactions in the care center, observed on multiple occasions.

The potential challenges could include no young children, prefers to be the only dog, no dog parks, no cats, kennel presence, basic manners, low level fear and mild anxiety. Level 2 Dogs with Level 2 determinations will be suitable for adopters with some previous dog experience. They will have displayed behavior in the shelter (or have owner reported behavior) that requires some training, or is simply not suitable for an adopter with minimal experience. Dogs with a Level 2 determination may have multiple potential challenges and these may be presenting at differing levels of intensity, so careful consideration of the behavior notes will be required for counselling. Potential challenges at Level 2 include no young children, single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity, mouthiness, fear with potential for escalation, impulse control/arousal, anxiety and separation anxiety. Level 3 Dogs with Level 3 determinations will need to go to homes with experienced adopters, and the ACC strongly suggest that the adopter have prior experience with the challenges described and/or an understanding of the challenge and how to manage it safely in a home environment. In many cases, a trainer will be needed to manage and work on the behaviors safely in a home environment. It is likely that every dog with a Level 3 determination will have a behavior modification or training plan available to them from the behavior department that will go home with the adopters and be made available to the New Hope Partners for their fosters and adopters. Some of the challenges seen at Level 3 are also seen at Level 1 and Level 2, but when seen alongside a Level 3 determination can be assumed to be more severe. The potential challenges for Level 3 determinations include adult only home (no children under the age of 13), single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity with potential for redirection, mouthiness with pressure, potential escalation to threatening behavior, impulse control, arousal, anxiety, separation anxiety, bite history (human), bite history (dog) and bite history (other). New Hope Rescue Only Dog is not publicly adoptable. Prospective fosters or adopters need to fill out applications with New Hope Partner Rescues to save this dog.

Behavior Notes Loose wiggly body upon intake, jumped up to greet counselors and allowed to be pet. Allowed all handling. SAFER ASSESSMENT BEHAVIOR: Summary: Leash Walking Strength and pulling: Moderate pulling Reactivity to humans: Pulled and barked toward one staff member encountered during walk Reactivity to dogs: None Sociability Loose in room (15-20 seconds): Soft and wiggly body, tail wagging, explores somewhat, but stays near handlers, jumps up onto handler's lap soliciting attention, accepts contact Call over: Approaches readily, soft and loose Handling Soft handling: Soft and wiggly, loose, some panting, tail wagging, overstimulated and continue to spin around with contact in front of handler, accepting contact Exuberant handling: Soft and loose, some panting, lip licking, tail wagging, leans into and accepts all contact Arousal Jog: Engages in play with handler, soft and loose Knock Knock Comments: No response to knock; Approaches assistant readily, soft and loose Toy Toy comments: Grips, tenses, low growl with approach; Readily trades IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: When the handler approached Romney's kennel, he was observed to greet the handler at the front of the kennel with a soft, loose and wiggly body and wagging tail. The handler was able to place the rope around Romey, walking him out of his kennel and out to the pens for his interaction. Once the leash was clipped to his collar and Romey relieved himself, he was observed to stay near the handler and solicited attention by jumping up softly. Romey accepted all contact, remaining soft and loose. When the handler introduced a tennis ball to Romey, he showed no interest in engaging with it. While moving around the pen, Romey would follow and continue to solicit attention, loosely and softly, readily accepting treats with a soft mouth. After a few minutes, Romey settled near the handler and laid down, only lifting his head and turning toward staff members who entered or exited the care center. After his interaction, the handler was able to place a rope around Romey and return him to his kennel without any issue. DOG-DOG: Summary: According to Romey's previous owner, he did not interact with other dogs while in their care. When off leash at the Care Center, Romey is introduced to a group of small male and female dogs via gate greet. Romey begins to hard bark and growl at the other dogs. The gate is not opened and Romey keeps to himself in the closed pen, but when another small dog approaches the gate he begins to bark again. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: NHO Behavior Asilomar TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations comments: No children (under 13): Due to Romey's previously reported level of fear with the potential for defensive aggression, observed resource guarding, we feel he would be best set up to succeed in an adult only home at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Although he has shown improvement and displays social behavior, we feel Romey would be best set up to succeed if placed with an experienced rescue partner to help manage these behaviors and allow him to acclimate and decompress at his own pace. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing or exposing Romey to new and unfamiliar situations. Potential challenges: Resource guarding/Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. Potential challenges comments: Resource guarding: Romey exhibited resource guarding behavior during his assessment in the care center. When introduced to a plush squeaky toy, Romey was observed to grip it firmly and growled when the handler approached with the assess-a-hand. He was not observed to escalate and readily traded the toy. Please refer to the handout on Resource guarding. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Romey has been reported during his first stay in the care center to exhibit fearful behavior with the potential for defensive aggression. He was observed to lunge toward handlers when approached. This behavior has NOT been observed during his second stay in the care center. Please refer to the handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. DVM Intake Estimated age: 3-4 years Microchip noted on Intake?

Being Alone, Apparently, and Children: Mnck ID 62206, 4 YRS, 82 LBS BROOKLYN ACC BIG, FRIENDLY, SOCIAL, WAG GY & SWEET BOY LIKES DOGS. TO BE KILLED – 5/16/2019 Big, friendly, waggy and sweet, MacK was found wandering, scared and alone in the streets of NYC. He may be a big boy, but at that moment he was just a lost little boy on the inside. Dragged into the shelter by police via a rabies pole, his arrival at the care center was nothing short of terrifying. We can't blame him for his anxiety and confusion. But with a few days behind him, he has warmed up nicely to some of his favorite staff members and is a real heartbreaker, soft and attention seeking and a lover of treats. What a stunner too! His one magnificent icy blue eye, the other a warm brown, and his size – he’s 82 lbs of cookies and cream. He loves treats, he enjoys his time in playgroup with his girlfriends (like Sassy for example) and he is so stoic and patient, even when they jump all over him. He understands the meaning of “gentleman” and takes it all in stride. MacK truly needs a loving family, an experienced foster or adopter in an adult only home where he can decompress, relax, open his heart to his new family and feel safe and loved. Will you be the one to make his dream of a family come true? Message our page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance fostering or adopting treat loving, heart stealing MacK now! MY MOVIE! I make friends with Sassy, she’s great! https://youtu.be/_OqIuCf0X2g ZEUS, ID# 62206, 4 Yrs. Old, 82 lbs, Unaltered Male Brooklyn ACC, Large Mixed Breed, White / Black I came to the shelter as an Agency, 5/7/2019 Shelter Assessment Rating: NEW HOPE ONLY Medical Behavior Rating: 4. Orange AT RISK NOTE: Although MacK has shown improvement with certain handlers in the care center, he has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. 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. Mack was also diagnosed with CIRDC and would have to stay away from other dogs for the next 14 days after diagnosed. INTAKE BEHAVIOR – DATE OF INTAKE, 5/7/2019: Mack was snapping, growling and lunging when being taken out of the crate. No handling was done. SURRENDER NOTES – BASIC INFORMATION: Mack is a large white and black dog that was found loose in the street and was brought to the ACC as a stray.

In order to minimize Mack's stress levels, the assessment was concluded. PLAYGROUP NOTES – DOG TO DOG SUMMARIES: Mack was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. 5/8: When off leash at the Care Center, Mack is introduced to a novel female dog. He is sexually motivated as he greets the female and places his chin over her back. Mack positions himself to mount the female but is interrupted by handlers. Mack walks away to explore the pens. 5/9: Mack was introduced to a novel female again today. He greets her with a soft body and wanders around the yard. He does give the female one quick bounce when she solicits play but does not reciprocate otherwise. Summary (1):: Mack understands the cue for "sit". INTAKE BEHAVIOR – DATE OF INTAKE: 5/7/2019 Summary:: Baring teeth, growling, lunging and snapping; No handling performed MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial:: 5/8/2019 Summary:: Initially hyperactive, allowed muzzle, escalated to hard stare, growling and head whipping ENERGY LEVEL:: MacK has been observed to exhibit a medium level of energy during his interactions in the care center. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 5/10: Mack was laying in his kennel as handler approached. When handler removed the blocker and Mack noticed her, he stood and gave tail wags. As handler unlocked his kennel, She offered Mack a treat, which he took gently. Mack was easily removed from the kennel and walked out with a loose body, showing no reactivity to the barking dogs as he passed them. Once outside, mack relieved himself at the gate and was brought back inside for his interaction. After his interaction was over, Mack walked back to his kennel with the handler, returning to a loose body and showing no reactivity to passing staff members. Mack allowed the handler to pet his head and back on his way back to his kennel, giving tail wags the whole way. Mack was returned to his kennel without any issues. 5/12: Mack allowed very exuberant handling while maintaining a wiggly body. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable MacK is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. Place with a New Hope partner: Although MacK has shown improvement with certain handlers in the care center, he has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. 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. Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Kennel presence Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: MacK displays handling sensitivity during his interactions in the care center, observed on multiple occasions. MacK has been observed to escalate to baring his teeth, growling, lunging and snapping toward handlers when attempting to handling him. Please refer to the handout on Handling/touch sensitivity. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: MacK is very fearful at the care center and has bared teeth, growled, lunged and snapped at handlers when attempts are made to approach him and touch him. He will need a slow approach and time to acclimate to new people. Please see handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. Kennel presence: MacK exhibits kennel presence and has been observed to growl when new people approach his kennel door. Should this behavior arise in a home environment, please refer to the handout on Kennel presence. MEDICAL EXAM NOTES 8/05/2019 DVM Intake Estimated age: 4 years Microchip noted on Intake?

Some dogs with Level 1 determinations may still have potential challenges, but these are challenges that the behavior team believe can be handled by the majority of adopters. The potential challenges could include no young children, prefers to be the only dog, no dog parks, no cats, kennel presence, basic manners, low level fear and mild anxiety. Level 2 Dogs with Level 2 determinations will be suitable for adopters with some previous dog experience. They will have displayed behavior in the shelter (or have owner reported behavior) that requires some training, or is simply not suitable for an adopter with minimal experience. Dogs with a Level 2 determination may have multiple potential challenges and these may be presenting at differing levels of intensity, so careful consideration of the behavior notes will be required for counselling. Potential challenges at Level 2 include no young children, single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity, mouthiness, fear with potential for escalation, impulse control/arousal, anxiety and separation anxiety. Level 3 Dogs with Level 3 determinations will need to go to homes with experienced adopters, and the ACC strongly suggest that the adopter have prior experience with the challenges described and/or an understanding of the challenge and how to manage it safely in a home environment. In many cases, a trainer will be needed to manage and work on the behaviors safely in a home environment. It is likely that every dog with a Level 3 determination will have a behavior modification or training plan available to them from the behavior department that will go home with the adopters and be made available to the New Hope Partners for their fosters and adopters. Some of the challenges seen at Level 3 are also seen at Level 1 and Level 2, but when seen alongside a Level 3 determination can be assumed to be more severe. The potential challenges for Level 3 determinations include adult only home (no children under the age of 13), single pet home, resource guarding, on-leash reactivity with potential for redirection, mouthiness with pressure, potential escalation to threatening behavior, impulse control, arousal, anxiety, separation anxiety, bite history (human), bite history (dog) and bite history (other).
