SAFER: EXPERIENCED HOME

Peechy came in as an owner surrender, but there was no information giving at the moment. At intake it was reported Peechy allowed all handling with no issues. During SAFER Peechy came into the assessment room calm and quiet, he was a bit social but also fearful towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. During the first Paw squeeze Peechy moves his paw away with tense body language, flank was applied which he didn’t respond at all.  Peechy was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Peechy was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Peechy 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 Peechy is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Peechy be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter.

Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is tense and fearful; his tail is low and not moving. He 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.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft.

Squeeze 1: 3. Dog is tense in body, and moves his legs/body so that the Assessor is unable to hold the paw

Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all.

Flank squeeze 2:1. Dog does not respond at all.

Toy 1: No interest.

Behavior during intake: Peechy allowed me to put a leash on him, take his photo and collar him with no issue.

When off leash with other dogs, Peechy may sniff the other dogs briefly and is tolerant of mounting.
