He urgently needs rescue because shelter staff consider him a public safety risk: he is avoidant of handling, escalates quickly when over-threshold, and during kennel return he thrashed on leash and redirected at a handler’s stomach, requiring defensive handling to prevent a bite. Behavior has declined from initially timid but treat-responsive and allowing some petting to persistent tense, fearful body language with whale eyes, pinned ears, freezing/pre-bite signals, disengagement, and lip lifting when touched through kennel bars. He has shown some friendly behaviors, including slight tail wagging, sitting against a handler on a bench, allowing gentle petting, and sniffing/licking fingers through the kennel door. Medical concerns include a congenital deformity of the right forelimb/paw, though he walks well and occasionally bears weight on it. He should be placed with rescue only, handled with caution, and is not recommended for public adoption/showing at this time.
