Behavior:

Helper dog: A1066059

Chico came in as stray, so his past behaviors in home are unknown. At intake it was reported Chico was tense and pulling away on the leash, he did allowed all handling. During SAFER Chico came into the assessment room nervous and timid, he was social towards the assessor with a slow approach. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Chico was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Chico was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Chico can be very fearful in his kennel and also outside the kennel but after sometime he will warm up to the person and settle close and allow being pet with a slow approach. Chico 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 Chico is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Chico be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no young children.
