BEHAVIOR

Austin came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Austin was calm with loose body posture, he allowed all handling. During SAFER Austin came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Austin joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Austin was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Austin appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.
