At intake it was reported Wolfie was whining and anxious, he allowed limited handling. During SAFER Wolfie came into the assessment room whining and anxious, he was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Wolfie was fearful, unresponsive and attempts to exit during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Wolfie was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Wolfie has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Wolfie is more comfortable and settled in a home environment, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter.
