The owner also stated Princess Lea is friendly when held, or when strangers approach her home or family. It was mentioned that she is house trained and does not have accidents indoors.

During SAFER Princess Lea was a bit shy, but quickly warmed up to the assessor, and allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Princess Lea maintained a relaxed body posture during the tag interaction, and was not interested in any of the items during the resources portion of the assessment. During the dog-dog interaction Princess Lea was relaxed when approaching the helper dog, and appeared to be interested in interacting, but was not playful. Although no concerns were seen on the assessment, the previous owner stated Princess Lea has shown guarding behaviors over food, and does not do well with children, so the department feels Princess Lea would be best suited for an experienced adopter with no children.
