BEHAVIOR :

Sheba came into the Care Center on9/16/16 as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown.
Behavior during intake: Sheba was nervous with her tail tucked but allowed all handling by the counselor.

During SAFER Sheba came into the assessment room with her tail tucked she was a bit nervous had a calm body posture when interacting with the assessor; she allowed all handling items to be conducted while maintaining the same body language. Sheba was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment. Sheba was easy to handle when engaged with the item. She appears to be sociable, but nervous and tense, so the department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter, and could use a slow approach and time to warm up.
Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, and open mouth.
Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, a bit fearful.
