SAFER: AVERAGE HOME

Sykes came into the shelter as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. Upon intake it was noted that Sykes appeared to be quiet and calm maintained a relaxed body posture. During SAFER Sykes had a loose body posture when interacting with the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Sykes was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Sykes was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Sykes appears to be sociable, and did not display any behavior concerns, so the department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.
