INTAKE BEHAVIOR

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During her initial medical exam, Royale was tense.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Royale so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a low level of activity.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below)

_X_No young children (under 5): Due to Royale’s response to some of the SAFER handling items, we feel she may be intimidated by small children.

Potential challenges:

_X_Fearful: Royale is fearful at the care center.  It is important to always go slow and give Royale the option to walk away from any social interaction. Royale should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling.  It should always be Royale’s choice to approach a new person or thing.  Royale would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.

Group Behavior:

6/8: When introduced off leash to dogs in the care center Royale keeps only to herself.
