Details on my behavior are...
Behavior Condition: 1. Green
Behavior upon intake: Catalina was shy throughout the process however she allowed to be collared and scanned. She was responding sit and stay cues and by going slow she allowed to be petted. She was interested in treats. Catalina scanned negative for a microchip.

Date of intake:: 1/3/2019
Spay/Neuter status:: No
Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray, no known history
Date of assessment:: 1/5/2019
Look:: 1. Dog's eyes are averted, ears are back, tail is down, relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor's cupped hands.
Sensitivity:: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, tail is between legs, body stiff, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick.

Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Eyes are averted and ears are relaxed or back.
Toy:: 1. No interest.
Summary:: Catalina allowed all handling throughout assessment, though she appeared to be uncomfortable and a bit fearful during assessment. Catalina trembled and remained low in posture with tail loosely tucked during majority of assessment. Catalina showed no escalating or concerning behaviors otherwise.
Summary:: Catalina was surrender as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 1/4: When off leash at the Care Centers, Catalina greets the novel male dog with a neutral posture. She followed him around, exploring the yard and checking in with him. 1/5-8: Catalinas greets a novel female dog with a soft posture. She explores the yard, occasionally checking in with the greeter. 1/23: Today was Catalina's first session since returning from ISO. Due to lack of greeters, she is utilized as a helper. She was introduced to a nervous novel male and greeted him appropriately. As the session progresses, Catalina becomes assertive with the male, and places her chin over his back and attempts to mount him. She listens to handler interruptions and walks away to seek handler interaction.
Date of intake:: 1/3/2019
Summary:: shy, needed slow approach
Date of initial:: 1/3/2019
Summary:: calm, allows all handling
ENERGY LEVEL:: Catalina has maintained a calm relaxed demeanor while in the shelter, exhibiting a low energy level.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 1
Behavior Asilomar: H - Healthy
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Catalina may be intimidated by young children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace.
Potential challenges: : Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Though observed to be human-social, Catalina may need time to warm up to the handler as she initially presents as a shy dog. She manages her stress well and has not escalated or shown any aggression, but she does need time to warm up to new people. Sh does best with a slow approach, and should be permitted to greet new people at her own pace and to initiate interaction (rather than being approached and pet immediately by a new person) so she has time to adjust and become comfortable before she is handled. She should be spoken to softly and gently.
