BEHAVIOR—Experienced Home
Mickey is fearful of the shelter environment he walks with a low and fearful body language. He was fearful and repeatedly attempted to get away from the handler during the assessment. Mickey had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. He was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. Mickey was not interested in toys or rawhide. He does not approach other dog, attempts to exit.
The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Mickey is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. Mickey 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 Mickey is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction.
