08/13/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
CANINE BEHAVIOR EVALUATION for Clay A1121019 KNOWN HISTORY: Limited 08/05/2017 Spayed, owner surrender Bite history: Yes; Clay attacked another dog in the hallway, which resulted in the dog’s death. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 08/13/2017 Summary: Due her current medical condition/health status, Clay is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. The behavior department believes Clay 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 Clay to new and unfamiliar situations. Clay has allowed all handling without any issue and is attention seeking. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 08/05/2017 Upon intake, Clay was friendly and active. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 08/06/17 During her initial medical examination, Clay allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Clay displays a high energy level in the care center; we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment though recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as an outlet to direct her enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_Single-pet home/recommend no dog parks _X_Place with a New Hope partner: While Clay remains social with her handlers in the care centers, her bite history remains of high concern in addition to her behavior around other dogs. We believe the behavior management and modification needed to set Clay up to be a successful family pet and to raise her quality of life to an acceptable level is beyond the scope of what we can expect our public adopters to provide. Appropriate and safe management around other is dogs is highly recommended. Potential challenges: _X_Bite history/potential for future aggression _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
