BEHAVIOR
eaction to assessor: Yoo Hoo looks neutral in her cage when approached by the assessor.
Reaction to door opening: Yoo Hoo remains sitting upright by the back of the cage, alert with eyes wide open.
Reaction to touch: Yoo Hoo does not allow the stroke, strikes, and bites at the assessor’s hand.
Placement determination: NH ONLY
Yoo Hoo is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room. She is stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
