Roux's Story

From the behavior assessment: Roux has shown some improvement since his last evaluation, but he still struggles with overarousal during handling and interactions with people. When he becomes excited or frustrated, he often grabs the leash and may climb up it, so he should be handled with a chain leash for now to help manage this behavior.<br/><br/>He is also very reactive in his kennel toward both people and other dogs walking by, and his long stay in the shelter has made this behavior stronger. Roux will need significant socialization, desensitization, and training, and he should only be placed with an experienced rescue or adopter who is prepared to work closely with him.

Trenton Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
Anyone interested in fostering or adopting a dog from The Trenton Animal Shelter must complete an application. All applications for foster or adoption will be screened for suitability and must include personal and veterinarian references. Once approved, a representative from the shelter will contact the applicant and set up a meeting with the animal. All other animals in the household and family members must participate in a “meet and greet” with the desired animal in order to confirm suitability. Adoptions are finalized with a contract releasing the animal to the adopter(s). The shelter does not allow return of adopted animals, with the exception of Trenton residents, who may re-release their animal to the shelter. However, the adoption fee is non-refundable.
