Honey is being brought into our care center due to the child having allergies; the doctor told the owner that she can no longer have pets. There are no known health or injury problems.

02/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Honey previously lived with 1 adult and a 12 year old child and is playful, relaxed and gentle towards the both. She has lived with a terrier mix and was very tolerant. When around cats Honey is feaful and use to destroy things in the home such as biting the table legs. She will bark around strangers but won’t attempt to bite or lunge. Honey is house trained and has a high activity level. At intake it was reported Honey growled, barked and attempted to lunge when being counseled, no handling was conducted due to this behavior. During SAFER Honey came into the assessment nervous and timid, she was social towards the assessor with a slow approach. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Honey follows the handler with her body low and fearful during the tag interaction and during the resources portion of the assessment Honey was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Honey 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 Honey is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Honey be given the opportunity to interact at her own pace. Due to some concerns with Honey being uncomfortable and fearful around strangers and the shelter environment, the behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter with no young children. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, body a bit tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1 & 2: 2. Dog quickly pulls back. Toy: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: Honey continues to exhibit fearful behaviors, tucked tail and head. She is hesitant to greet the helper dog so he is leashed. Honey is offered the choice to approach him but she does not. 2/28 update: Honey continues to display extremely fearful behavior. She has been difficult to remove from her kennel darting out when opened, and she continues to lie curled up in the back of her kennel, low growling upon approach. The Behavior Department does not feel that the shelter is a suitable environment and recommends placement be sought as soon as possible to improve her well-being.

02/21/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Honey was initially very fearful and nervous but has grown a bit more confident and will engage briefly with gentle dogs. Based on her behavior during playgroup, the Behavior Department recommends that Honey can go to a home with male dogs. Due to her nervousness, we recommend placing her with calm, respectful dogs that will let her interact in her own time. Due to Honey exhibiting extremely fearful posturing in her kennel- trembling, low growling and hard stare- the Behavior Team opted to let her take a day to acclimate before taking her to playgroup for an assessment. 2/22 update: Honey was extremely fearful, a tucked body and tail as well as shivering, while being collared and when inside the pen. She was given ample time to adjust and to greet the helper dog through the fence. She kept her distance. The gate was opened and the helper dog was leashed to give Honey the opportunity to interact with him but she continued to keep her distance. 2/24 update: Honey continues to exhibit fearful behaviors, tucked tail and head. She is hesitant to greet the helper dog so he is leashed. Honey is offered the choice to approach him but she does not. 2/25 update: Honey does greet another dog today. She interacts and her body posture become much looser. Honey follows him around the pen, exploring areas and sought the handler’s attention.
