Summary: Due to her current medical condition, Buttercup is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. The behavior department believes Buttercup would benefit best from placement with a New Hope Rescue who can meet her needs medically and then assess behavior once she is in a stable environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Buttercup to new and unfamiliar situations. Buttercup appears to be calm, she has allowed all handling in shelter without any issue and attempts to seek handler attention.
