BEHAVIOR:

During SAFER Dimon came into the assessment room and had a loose body posture when interacting with the assessor; she allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Dimon was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment. Dimon was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Dimon appears to be sociable, and did not display any behavior concerns, so the department feels she can be suitable for an \"Average\" adopter.

Dog-Dog: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Dimon greets the other dog displaying soft body language. When the other dog greets her too long, she becomes nervous. Her face becomes tense and she begins to lip lick. She spends most of her time keeping to herself as she wanders in the pen.
7/30: Dimon greets the other dogs appropriately but mostly keeps to herself as she wanders in a group with a male and female dog.
