12/07/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Coco was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. He was displaying distance-increasing behavior upon intake and during his initial medical exam. He was growling, striking, and trying to bite. Reaction to Assessor: Coco was calm and relaxed by the front, but hisses randomly. Reaction when softly spoken to: Coco looks at the assessor and then growls. Reaction to cage door opening: Coco becomes stiff and alert, stepping away from the front. Reaction to touch: Coco becomes cautious and tense. He focuses on the assessor’s hand, growls, and lifts his paw up to prepare to swat. He does not allow petting and he lip licks and blinks throughout the interaction. Behavior Determination: New Hope Only Coco is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He has tried to swat, is extremely fearful in the shelter environment, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
