MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/31/16 During his initial medical examination, KJ tolerated very minimal handling; growling upon direct touch. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13)(See potential challenges) _X_Place with a New Hope partner (KJ has not acclimated well to the shelter environment and tolerates minimal forms of touch/interaction, for this reason along with known history, we believe KJ would benefit best from placement with a New Hope rescue group who can further assess this behavior in a stable environment.) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (KJ has displayed fearful/defensive behavior during his stay at our care centers, tolerating very minimal handling. It is recommended that KJ be allowed a proper time to decompress to aid in acclimating him to a new environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing KJ to new and unfamiliar situations.)
