It was reported by the owner Jackie will growl when her toy is touched and will snap when her feet are touched.

At intake it was reported Jackie was calm and allowed all handling. During SAFER Jackie came into the assessment room fearful and shy, she was a bit social but remained fearful. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Jackie was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Jackie was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Due to some concerns stated from the previous owner, the behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experience adopter with no children.
