Behavior toward children: relaxed and playful Behavior toward dogs: Respectful Behavior toward cats: Unknown Resource guarding: None reported Bite history: Yes, Coco has bitten another dog Housetrained: Yes Energy level/descriptors: The owner stated Coco is affectionate with a medium activity level. Other notes: SAFER ASSESSMENT: 9/19/17 Summary: CoCo appears to be uncomfortable or afraid of the slip lead. She has also allowed minimal handling from her caretakers. Out of concern for her stress levels and her response to restraint, we feel Coco is not a great candidate for a handling assessment at this time. Please see her owner surrender profile for a full summary of her behavior in her previous home. PLAYGROUP: Pending. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 9/11/17: Upon intake Coco was very fearful and would avoid staff interaction. Coco allowed all handling from her owner only. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 9/12/17: During her medical examination, Coco was trembling, tense, low body posture but allowed petting. ENERGY LEVEL: CoCo displays a low activity level in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13) _X_Place with a New Hope partner- Coco has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression- Coco has displayed fearful behavior in shelter, she displays no social behavior towards handlers and attempts to increase distance and avoid contact. Because she is so uncomfortable, Coco does not tolerate any form of human-touch.
