06/07/16 14:49 A staff member writes: Harley will bring a lot of love to wherever his new home may be! He can be a little shy at first around people and dogs he doesn’t know, but after a few minutes it would be hard to imagine a sweeter, more friendly, more fun guy. He has impeccable manners and is well-behaved, but that doesn’t stop him from really getting into a game of chase or tug-of-war. This big gentleman is ready to give all his love, he just needs a home to do it!

Harley joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Harley was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Harley is reported to show destructive behavior in the home, such as chewing on shoes and tearing up his toys. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Harley will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so Harley can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
