Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter the behavior department believes that Java is not an appropriate candidate for SAFER at this time. At intake it was reported Java became tense and tried to shake off the leash once the owner left, when walking to the kennel he came more nervous and when approached he lunged at the counselor, no handling was conducted at the time. During his medical exam Java was growling and lifting his lip upon eye contact, he would attempt to bite during the exam. In the kennel Java can be seen growling, snarling, lunging and trying to bite when approaching his kennel. A SAFER assessment will not be conducted due to safety and stress level concerns. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time.
