Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Cool Mint came to us as a stray on 5/23/15, so we do not have previous information in a home besides what we are seeing in the shelter. Upon intake it was reported that Cool Mint was a bit nervous but allowed all handling. She allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items without displaying any signs of aggression. She was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. Cool Mint only displayed minimal interest in the toy, but showed no interest in the rawhide on this portion of the assessment. The behavior department believes that Cool Mint can go to an average home. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.
