SAFER: EXPERIENCED HOME, NO CHILDREN

Rosy previously lived with adults and children. The owner stated Rosy is relaxed and playful towards everyone in the household. The owner mentioned Rosy has a low activity level and she is well behaved when home alone. The owner describes Rosy as shy and mellow. It was also reported by the owner Rosy is house trained.

At intake Rosy was calm but nervous and she allowed all handling. When trying to take Rosy out of her kennel she hides in the back of the cage and when attempting to pick her up she consistently head flips. During SAFER Rosy came into the assessment room nervous and fearful, she showed no interest with the assessor, she allowed all handling but seem uncomfortable. Rosy was fearful and unresponsive during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Rosy was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Rosy has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center, and shows that she is very uncomfortable; she also doesn’t allow to be picked up. So the behavior department feels it best she can go home with an experience adopter with no children.
