BEHAVIORAL He often pees and poops inside of the house. He also destroys things in the house. You can touch his food while he is eating. He isn’t bothered when treats or toys are taken away from him.

01/31/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Puppy alert! Handsome young boy King (perhaps at this point he is still more of a Prince?) is a stunner. Cute as a button with floppy puppy paws that he hasn’t quite mastered, King has lots of energy to spare, and is curious about everything — tho endearingly, he is also still a bit of a scaredy-cat about noises and people he doesn’t yet recognize. King seems to like other dogs and is very friendly and playful with any we encountered during a recent day we spent together, and he really enjoys sitting next to whoever’s lap is available, where he will lean in for kisses and snuggle time. King is not yet house-trained and will need someone to spend time with him and teach him the rules. He is eager to please and quickly learned “sit” and “down” during our visit, and walked nicely on the leash. Won’t you be the person or family who adopts King and helps him grow into the fabulous dog that he so wants to be?

King was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment King was easy to handle when engaged with the item. King is reported to be chewing on household items when left alone for long periods, so we advise future adopters to make sure to provide mentally and physically stimulating, appropriate chew toys to keep King occupied when left alone. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Dog licks hand. Squeeze 2:1.
