WEB MEMO
No Web Memo

11/03/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Due her current medical condition/health status, Toluca is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. The behavior department believes Toluca would benefit best from placement with a New Hope Rescue who can meet her needs medically and then assess behavior once in a stable environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Toluca to new and unfamiliar situations.
