During SAFER Roxy came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, she was friendly and social towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Roxy was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Roxy was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Due to some concerns stated from the previous owner, the behavior department feels she can be suitable for an experienced adopter in an adult only home, we also recommend no other dogs in the household. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog 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. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Toy: 1.
