The handler knelt and called to him. He approached the handler with soft body language and beganto seek affection. He allowed the handler to pet his head with no reaction. He allowed the handler to check his teeth with no reaction. He allowed the handler to check his ears with no reaction. He allowed the handler to touch all his paws with no reaction. He allowed the handler to touch his tail with no reaction. He displayed no negative or conceming behavior toward the handler, but he is timid and does best with a go-slow approach. With a go-slow approach and some trust building, he does begin to seek affection. He is wary of faster movements and gets startled by sudden sounds. He was retumed to his kennel without issue. Due to his need for a go-slow approach and confidence building, he would do best in an adult only home. He will also need a known istory of aggression disclosure for for a prior incident in the previous home.

Aresource guarding assessment was conducted to make sure food was not a trigger for his barking and growling, during a pnor incident of sweeping up spilled food. He showed no interested in the food and showed no signs of resource guarding behavior. He did have a light body tremble with the presence of the assess-a-hand. So, it is possible he may have been fearful of the broom dunng the sweepmg mcident.
