Due to the severity of behavior Blanca has presented in shelter, she is not an appropriate candidate for SAFER at this time. The behavior department recommends Blanca be placed in an experienced foster home who can provide a period of decompression to aid in acclimation to a new environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Blanca to new and unfamiliar situations. We advise seeking guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist to assist in a behavioral plan for Blanca to help her thrive and succeed.

She is respectful and will engage in rough play with the dogs. 9/10: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Blanca is initially nervous and shut down when she enters the pen. She lies down in a corner and does not move. The Behavior Department decided to bring one of the dogs she lived with to her, and Blanca immediately got up and greeted her. She displayed a soft body and low wagging tail as she interacted and muzzle licked the familiar female. When introduced to a novel male dog, Blanca greeted him with a low body and tucked tail. She interacts with him as she explores the pen. 9/12: Blanca was more shut down today. She entered the pen and immediately retreated to the corner and curled up in a ball.
