MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/16/16 During his initial medical examination, Pico appeared nervous, tolerating minimal handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: ENC _X_No children (under 13) Potential challenges: _X_House soiling (See known history; Pico may benefit best from routine walks, scheduled feedings as well as incorporating a crate to aid in a housebreaking process.) _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Pico has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch.
