Due to Spirit’s behavior in playgroup (please see GROUPBEAHVIOR entry), the Behavior Department feels that Spirit is suitable for an experienced adopter who can manage her discomfort around other dogs. SAFER 6/15/16: Spirit came into the shelter as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. During SAFER Spirit came into the assessment room calm and friendly, she was social towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Spirit was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment. Spirit was easy to handle when engaged with the item.
