Rocky was said to have a medium activity level, and the owner states he will not guard his food bowl while eating and he will not guard his toys or bones. At intake Rocky was reported to be to be sociable, and very gentle when interacting with the counselor. During SAFER Rocky maintained a relaxed body posture, but did not solicit attention.

During the resources portion of the assessment Rocky was not interested in the food item, and only showed minimal interest in the toys and rawhides. Rocky appears to be sociable and has not shown any behavioral concerns while in the care center, so the department feels Rocky can be suitable for an “Average” experienced adopter. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. 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 closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
