Altered: Will be done by receiving rescue
Vaccines: Rabies, distemper, bordatella, and dewormed
Heartworm Status: Unknown; will test once he arrives in foster care
General Health: Good
Good with Cats/Kids/Dogs: He is an affectionate dog. The shelter girls tested him with other dogs outside and all he wanted to do was play. He loved the company! Reported to have "playfully" chased cats while at a foster's home for a couple of days, but this has not been witnessed at the shelter - in fact he behaved well when tested with them in the shelter adoption room. Mild mannered and affectionate with adults and teenagers; unsure about with young children.

Items To Provide: Crate if you'd like one, water, bowl, extra leash and collar/harness
Car Riding Behavior: Arrived at the shelter in the back of a car and seemed OK; energetic though so might be best crated.
