INTAKE BEHAVIOR 6/11/17: Upon intake Princess was very timid, wit her head low and tail tucked, no handling was conducted due to her behavior. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 6/12/17: During her medical examination, Princess was fearful with her tail tucked, head down and flinches when touched. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Princess so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: When Princess arrived at the Care Center, she was initially nervous. She displayed signs of fear (tucked tail, flat ears, sensitivity to touch). Throughout her stay, staff worked with her, offering treats regularly, and Princess showed signs of increased comfort. She began approached employees and soliciting attention, leaning her body against them while they pet her head. With this slow approach and positive reinforcement, Princess’s behavior toward her caretakers has improved.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to her bite history, the behavior department recommends Princess 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 Princess to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Princess to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Princess presents with outside of the care centers. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: The behavior department recommends allowing Princess to approach her potential new adopters at her own pace. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Princess to new and unfamiliar situations. _X_ Bite history- When highly aroused or frightened, Princess has shown a willingness to bite.
