Behavior: Experience

Cokito came into the care center as a stray, so we do not have any information on her is past behaviors in a home. During SAFER Cokito maintained a low and fearful body position throughout the assessment. She was tolerant of all handling items, but was fearful and unresponsive to the assessor during the tag interaction. During the resources portion of the assessment Cokito was not interested in any of the resources items, and during the dog-dog interaction she did not approach the helper dog. Cokito 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 Cokito is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. The behavior department advises that future adopters should be able to provide positive experiences for Cokito. In addition, we recommend an experienced adopter and it is also recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Cokito be given the opportunity to interact at their own pace.
