10/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Due his current medical condition/health status, Caramel is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. The behavior department believes Caramel would benefit best from placement with a New Hope Rescue who can meet his needs medically and then assess behavior once he is in a stable environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Caramel to new and unfamiliar situations.
