Behavior during intake: Ash was relaxed and giving kisses to me when I approached him. I was able to scan for a m/c, collar and take his picture without any issues. Ash might possibly be rope reactive as he got very agitated and tried to bite on the rope. He became very mouthy with me as well.

Ash pulls a bit on the leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body.  He was calm and relaxed during handling. Ash was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He shows minimal interest with toys.

Ash did not show any concern during the behavior assessment. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home.
