During SAFER Bear came into the assessment room fearful and timid, he was social towards the assessor with a slow approach and after some time spent. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Bear was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Bear was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Bear has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Bear is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Bear be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no young children. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted.

Bear’s previous owner reported that he lived with one other dog, his mother. When off leash with other dogs, Bear greets the helper dog, but is very nervous in the new environment. He is sensitive to sounds and has a low startle threshold. Recently, Bear has become more confident in play group and will engage in chase-play when he is solicited by the other dog. He also may become sexually motivated with certain dogs. Due to his behavior in play group, the Behavior Team feels that Bear could go to a home with either a male or female dog of any temperament and with a gentle play style as long as a proper introduction is conducted 4/26: Bear greets with a soft body at the gate. He was more comfortable with exchanging sniffs today and became bouncy when solicited. He listened to a correction when the other dog became uncomfortable. 4/27: Bear greets and exchanges sniffs.
