BEHAVIOR:

Rey came into our center after she was found as a stray. During intake, Rey was stressed, shivering and tense with wide eyes but allowed all handling.  Rey was uncomfortable during positioning for Look item, but once positioned she allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tense. Rey stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, mouth closed, ears neutral. She turned towards assessor’s hand during Tag game, stopped following after second pass. Rey yelped and turned her head towards assessor’s hand on positioning for Squeeze item, tried to bite. Rey kept a firm grip on Toy with her paws, body loose. When off leash with other dogs, Rey offers minor correction for approach. Rey must be placed with a New Hope partner.

Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is stiff and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
