MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:  3/12/17

Elvis displayed whale eyes, with his tail tucked, lip lifting, attempts to snap at handlers during his initial medical examination.

ENERGY LEVEL:

Elvis is fearful and does not feel comfortable with any handling at this time. He displayed a low energy level.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only

_x_No children (under 13)

_X_Place with a New Hope partner: Elvis has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed minimal handling during his initial exam. 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: Elvis has displayed fearful behavior in shelter, he displays no social behavior towards handlers and attempts to increase distance and avoid contact. Because he is so uncomfortable, Elvis does not tolerate any form of human-touch and has attempted to snap upon direct contact.
