Date of initial:: 2/8/2018
Summary:: Tense though allowed all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: Molly displays a medium energy level in the care center, we cannot be certain of her behavior in a previous home environment though recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as a way to direct her energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13)
Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Molly has been extremely timid and hesitant to interact during her time at the care center; the behavior observed (shying away, trembling, avoiding eye contact) causes us to believe she will be most comfortable and most likely to thrive in an adult-only home.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Though she has improved during her stay at our care centers, Molly continues to give all appropriate warning signals when uncomfortable. Due to the consistent behavior displayed in shelter, the behavior department recommends an experienced adult home only until she can acclimate to her new home environment for the behavior to be further assessed. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is advised; force-free, reward based training only is recommended
