Upon intake, King Harold was exuberant, jumping, and barking.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

9/22/17

During his initial medical exam, Kong Harold was sweet and easy to handle.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on King Harold so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
