During SAFER Sheeba came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, she was not interested with the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Sheeba was distracted but not fearful during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Sheeba was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Sheeba showed some concerns during her medical exam, having difficulty walking and getting up from laying down and also her being an older dog.
