SAFER: EXPERIENCED HOME, NO CHILDREN

Da Vinche came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake Da Vinche appeared to be friendly but nervous and shy at the same time, he allowed all handling. During SAFER Da Vinche came into the assessment room fearful, he was not attention seeking towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Da Vinche was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Da Vinche was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Da Vinche 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 Da Vinche is more comfortable and settled in a home environment, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Da Vinche be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace. So the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no children.
