Behavioral:
Per Volunteer on 4/4: This guy is ADORABLE! He loves being outside with his handler, sniffing and exploring everywhere. Very attentive to his human as well. He is probably house trained having done his business at carefully chosen spots. A great companion to have!

Per Staff on 3/31: Chow is a goofy little man! In the room he was very handler oriented and affectionate. He would curl up against me often seeking out pets and attention. He was affectionate and wiggly with all handling and did well meeting multiple other staff members.
