SAFER ASSESSMENT:   03/08/17

Due to his current medical condition/health status, Herman is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. The behavior department believes Herman would benefit best from placement with a New Hope Rescue who can meet his needs medically and then assess behavior once he is in a stable environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Herman to new and unfamiliar situations.
