Behavior: Average Home

Crimp came in as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. It was reported Crimp was very friendly and allowed all handling upon intake. During SAFER Crimp came into the assessment room friendly, loose and wiggly, she was social and friendly towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Tag was not tested at this time due to medical issue, and during the resources portion of the assessment Crimp was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Crimp appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.

Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.

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 likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.

Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed.

Food: 1. Inconclusive dog is not eating.

Toy: 1. No interest.

Rawhide: 1. No interest.

Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral.
