INTAKE BEHAVIOR:

Upon intake, Shadow was playful and allowed handling.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During his initial medical exam, Shadow was active and social.

ENERGY LEVEL:

We have no history on Shadow so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Shadow is active and will require daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised.
