Description
Behaviorally OK for public adoption with KHOA for handling sensitivity
In playgroup She eventually greeted the other dogs while maintaining a neutral body. She allowed the handlers to pet her. She did not engage in play with the other dogs, but was able to coexist nicely in a group of calm dogs. Sasha is tolerant of the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.
She approached the handler with a timid demeanor, and allowed the handler to pet her head, neck, and back with no issues. The handler was able to check her ears and teeth. Her mouth closed and her body tensed slightly when the handler touched her legs and abdomen. However, she did not growl or try to bite, and remained easy to handle. Once the assessment was over, she stayed near the handler and continued to solicit petting.

'The behaviors described today reflect the dog's responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment. A
dog's behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement, and
unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behavior may change
based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.'
Sasha was lying down with a tense body, hunched posture, concerned eyes, and a closed mouth. She retreated to the back of
the kennel when the runner presented the leash. The runner stepped into the kennel, and was able to slowly drape the leash
over her head. She walked slowly behind the runner, and was nervous with collaring. The runner moved slowly, and was
able to collar her with no issues. In the catch pen, her body was neutral. She entered the yard, and bypassed the other dogs
without greeting them. She roamed the yard with a slightly tense body, but gradually relaxed as she spent more time in the
yard. She eventually greeted the other dogs while maintaining a neutral body. She allowed the handlers to pet her. She did
not engage in play with the other dogs, but was able to coexist nicely in a group of calm dogs. Sasha is tolerant of the other
dogs, has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.

Sasha was already in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. She was moved to the side yard,
and given a few moments to decompress before the handler entered the yard. She approached the handler with a timid
demeanor, and allowed the handler to pet her head, neck, and back with no issues. The handler was able to check her ears
and teeth. Her mouth closed and her body tensed slightly when the handler touched her legs and abdomen. However, she did
not growl or try to bite, and remained easy to handle. Once the assessment was over, she stayed near the handler and
continued to solicit petting.
