Shrimpy seems to have difficulty walking when directed towards the behavior room. He was very interested in exploring the environment once in the room, and did not show much interest in interacting with the assessor. Shrimpy was a bit uncomfortable having stiff body language during some of the handling items, but did not display any signs of aggression. Not all tactile items were completed due to Shrimpy’s medical condition. He showed no interested in the toy on this portion of the assessment. When on an on-leash dog interaction Shrimpy approaches the helper dog slowly with relaxed body language. He behavior department believes that Shrimpy would do best in a home with an experienced adopter with no young children. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted.
