ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Spring Roll so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to Spring Rolls' behavior in the Care Centers, Spring Roll should go to a home with older children. Spring Roll has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Spring Roll is fearful in the Care Centers and was observed to snapped during her intake. Throughout their stay in the care center Spring Roll has remained fearful and escalates to snapping at handlers hands when returning to kennel.
