09/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Meebling was brought in as an injured stray. Her finder was able to pick her up without issue, but Meebling has resisted handling in the care center, hissing and swatting when interaction has been attempted. Please note that Meebling is being treated for a significant medical condition and is on pain medication. We cannot be sure how her condition or the medication may be influencing her behavior at this time. Reaction to assessor: Meebling is on her blanket at the back of the cage, body a bit tense. Reaction to cage door opening: Remains in place, tense. Reaction to touch: Meebling hisses when the assessor’s hand approaches, then swats (she does not make contact). Placement determination: New Hope Only Meebling is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and may require further investigation before placement in a home. She has swatted repeatedly 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. Her medical conditions should be address and then behavior re-evaluated in a stable home environment.
