During SAFER Rocky came into the assessment room calm and curious, he was a bit social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Rocky was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Rocky was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Rocky repeatedly attempts to exit between items. Rocky showed no interest in any of the resources but due to some concerns with Rocky may having resource guarding issues with people he may not know according to his previous owner, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no children.
