A foster dog has been in your home for two days. She stays in her safe area, avoids touch, and growls when you approach. Walk us through what you would do that day.

Artemis House’s plan says to keep the foster dog separate from your resident dog at first. Both dogs seem friendly through a gate. What do you do?

A puppy nips your hand hard enough to break the skin, or a larger dog jumps up and scratches you, causing bleeding. Choose one situation. What would your immediate reaction be, and how would you handle the dog in the next few minutes?

Tell us about a time you cared for a dog whose behavior was difficult or different from what you expected. What did you try, what happened, and what would you do differently now?

What equipment or methods have you used when a dog pulls, barks, growls, destroys something, or does not respond to you? Please be specific.

If an Artemis House care instruction differs from what worked for you with dogs in the past, how would you handle that disagreement?

What situations would make you call Artemis House right away? What situations would make you say you could no longer safely care for a dog?
