Shy friendly chi Toby and feline bff in danger@NYC kill shelter in Manhattan, New York
Behavior Assessment 3/25:
Toby walks calmly on leash. She was shy but friendly during the assessment - low body, but trying to stay close. Toby was shy during handling, but had soft body language. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Toby was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. She was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful.
Toby was shy during the assessment but she stays close to the assessor and loves to be in assessors lap. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter. This dog is somewhat fearful and is offering signs of submission.
Toby is located at Manhattan Animal Care and Control. I am not affiliated with them. For more info about Toby or to see her current status, copy - paste this link:
