Serenity should be given adequate time to decompress from the shelter and all introductions with novel dogs should be conducted slowly and under supervision INTAKE BEHAVIOR 9/1/17 During intake Serenity allowed the counselor to pet collar and take her picture with no problems. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 9/1/17 During the initial examination allows all handling, attention seeking, voracious appetite.
