Behavior:
Midnight came in as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. During SAFER Midnight came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, she was friendly, social and attention seeking towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Midnight was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Midnight was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Midnight appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.
