From Yorkie Rescue Houston

Denzel was purchased by a senior and surrendered when it became apparent that he was a high-energy puppy and she was unable to meet his needs. At 10 months old, Denzel is still very much a puppy. He is playful, energetic, curious, and still learning proper social behavior and how to navigate new situations. Until recently, Denzel had been very social at adoption events and had allowed potential adopters and visitors to approach, interact with, and handle him with ease. During a recent meet-and-greet, however, Denzel became very uncomfortable with the potential adopter and displayed growling and biting behavior that appeared to be intended to make the person back away and give him space. This is not behavior we had previously seen from him. Because of what we observed, we believe Denzel’s best placement will probably be in a quieter, lower-traffic home where there are not constant new visitors. This type of defensive behavior could potentially carry over into his future home, so his adopter should understand that Denzel may react similarly toward visitors or guests if he feels uncomfortable or threatened. Because Denzel is still a young puppy and is learning how to handle new…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
