Finishedtemperament Eval Form

Skadi is a 7 month old Staffordshire Terrier mix who was found as a stray on an Indian Reservation missing an eye. During a temperament evaluation, Skadi displayed some fear-based aggression, separation anxiety in kennels, and reacted strongly to some stimuli due to poor eyesight. However, Skadi was also noted to be very sweet and played well with people. The evaluation recommends 2 months of behavior modification including confidence building and counter conditioning to kennel anxiety to improve adoptability. Adopters should have experience with dogs and no young children or other pets.
