MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/16/17: During her medical examination, Preciosa tried to bite when touched by her head and ears, she allowed minimal handling. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13) _X_Place with a New Hope partner -Preciosa has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression- Preciosa has shown some escalated warning behaviors in the care center and with the finder. It is important to make sure Preciosa stays under threshold and is not pushed to escalate further to a bite.
