Details on my behavior are...

Behavior Condition: 5. Red

KNOWN HISTORY:: Waffle Fry was brought in with limited information on his behavior history in a home environment.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Subdued

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Skittish,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : New Hope Only

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Waffle Fry appeared highly fearful and anxious during the assessment, remaining tightly crouched inside the den upon approach. When the den cover was lifted, he quickly lunged toward the plexiglass door and hissed, indicating a strong defensive response to the perceived threat. He avoided contact and anxiously retreated, showing that he was not comfortable with interaction at that time. The assessment was ended to help minimize his stress and allow him to decompress. Waffle Fry is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He 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.
