She was given a moment to acclimate to her surroundings. The handler knelt and called to her. She approached the handler slowly with soft body language and began to seek affection. She allowed the handler to pet her head and to check her ears, but she required a go-slow approach. She appeared wary when the handler would try to approach to touch her rear paws or tail. She would back away with concemed eyes, licking her lips and preferred to remain facing the handler. She was retumed to her kennel without issue. She displayed no negative or conceming behavior toward the handler during the handling, but she does require a go-slow approach. Due to her handling sensitivity and need for a go-slow approach, she would do best in an adult only home.
