Behavior:

Droopy came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. During SAFER Droopy came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Droopy was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Droopy was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Droopy 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. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he 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, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
