08/06/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/06/16 15:21 Bella was found as a stray and brought into the ACC. Dog was carried in bag and brought to the back like this. She would not come out of the bag on her own, but allowed counselors to pet her. She walked out of the bag when the bag was tipped over. She allowed for collaring and pictures. She stood still on the table and allowed counselor to pick her up and put her on floor. Once on the floor, she would not follow counselor and hid under chairs and table. When someone came to take her to get vaccinations, she would not walk with them. She had to be picked up and carried. Her eyes were very wide while she was carried.

No Web Memo

08/09/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Due to Bella’s medical condition she is not a good candidate for a behavior assessment at this time. She has been tolerant of handling and examination thus far, but we have no information on her behavior outside the care center. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can address her medical conditions and then evaluate her behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
