BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  NEW HOPE ONLY
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:  Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:

Due to all noted Medical concerns observed in a shelter environment, the behavior department recommends Jolene be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Jolene to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Jolene to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Jolene presents with outside of the care centers.
