05/04/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None Date of intake 5/2/2017 Spayed female, stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 5/4/2017 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, a bit distracted Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw. Squeeze 2: 2. Dog pulls back paw Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog sniffs, then walks away. Summary: Shiba was intently focused on the environment outside the SAFER room. It should be noted there was a lot of novel stimuli (construction, loud noise, and people) which made her fairly distracted throughout her assessment though displayed no behavior concerns. PLAYGROUP: When greeted by a shy female puppy, Shiba was polite but assertive and often muzzle nudged her. She displayed the same behaviors when greeting a large shy male. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 5/2/2017 During her initial medical exam, Shiba was tense but allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Shiba so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center Shiba has a medium level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an Average amount of dog experience) X__Recommend no dog parks – Shiba at times may be a bit assertive in her play style which may not be reciprocated by other dogs in a dog park setting. We recommend an in depth interaction with any other resident dogs before considering adoption.
