11/12/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Regal as his name and blessed with puppy-soft fur and a personality to match, sweet Prince is smart, friendly and always dressed to impress. His manners are top shelf too and he’s a good walker, seemingly house trained and quietly happy to see other dogs in the street. Once the initial shyness of our first date is over his puppy side comes out to play as we chase each other around a pen and share a plush toy and when it’s time to ‘sit’ he knows just what to do, snarfling his treats with glee before looking up hopefully for more. Of course Prince passed his behavior assessment with flying colors and while he can be a bit shy among his peers in playgroup, it only takes a few minutes before he warms up and joins in the play-bowing fun. His life has only just begun yet he’s already such an accomplished young man and the sky’s the limit when it comes to living, loving and learning to be a full-grown rock star in his new home. Prince is ready to be the crowning gem of your family tree, ask to meet him today!

Summary: Prince was hesitant to come out of kennel, ducking leash. Once in SAFER assessment room he warmed up quickly, was affectionate and sociable with assessor, allowed all handling.
