09/08/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Buster came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake Buster was friendly and relaxed, he allowed all handling. During SAFER Buster came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, he was very friendly and affectionate towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Buster was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Buster was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Buster appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1.
