02/04/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper dog: A1063692 Crescent came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Crescent was quiet but loose for all handling. During SAFER Crescent came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was a bit social towards the assessor with a slow approach, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Crescent was relaxed during the tag interaction; during paw squeeze test flank was applied due to him limping and in pain with his 2 front paws, which he didn’t respond at all. During the resources portion of the assessment Crescent was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Crescent 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 Crescent is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Crescent be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is tense and fearful, his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body a bit tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Flank squeeze 1: 1.
