Behavior notes:
01/25/2025 volunteer notes: Biscuit greeted me at the front of his kennel, he wasn’t super loose but seemed calm. I dropped a treat and then went to leash him, which he allowed easily! He dodged it once then allowed leashing. He walks well on leash, doesn’t seem to pull much. He really likes to stay by my side in the play yard. Super treat motivated- he was trying to sniff treats and grab them out of my pocket. Takes them gently, but doesn’t really know how to take them out of your hand. Seems like a young pup! He took pets from me all over. Very playful, fetched a ball and brought it back to. Very sweet and fun boy!! No issues going back into his kennel
01/25/2025 staff notes: Biscuit came out for activity time today. In kennel Biscuit was a bit nervous and flinched when the leash touched him, needing some baby talk and reassurance. In the room, he was very sweet and open and allowed all handling from me, although he's never met me before. He pushed his body into me and the other handler and went back and forth between us for love and affection. He id really well when a male staff member came into the room. He backed up into his main handler but was curious and allowed the staff member to crouch down and give him a treat. he had soft eyes and a wagging tail and sat patiently for them.
01/23/2025 staff notes: Although Biscuit was originally said to not be good with men, he met two men today during his eval and he did really well with them! He was non reactive to two men walking into the room, and even cuddled into one of them and allowed all over pets! He did well sniffing a male staff member while walking back to kennel as well!

KENNEL PRESENTATION:
When approaching in kennel Biscuit was standing at the front of kennel. When he saw the handler he looked up with bloodshot but neutral eyes. He flinched away from the leash at first but allowed the handler to then slowly place it over his head.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately
HANDLING :
In the room Biscuit was friendly with both of us. He had soft eyes, mid level wags, and a loose body. He allowed all over handling without any issues and leaned in while petting pets, rubbing against us. He was well mannered and showed knowledge of sit as well. He took treats gently when offered as well and was very patient! When a male handler entered the room Biscuit stayed near his main handler and was panting heavily, but unreactive.After a few minutes he was open to approaching the male handler with mid level wags and licked his hands through the bars.
PLAY:
Some interest
TOYS
Interest but no possession
01/22/2025 staff notes: Removed Biscuit from the truck for the APO, as he was reactive to men. When I approached Biscuit he gave me wags in the truck and had neutral body language. Allowed me to easily leash him and hopped out without issue. Gave the APO some hard stares when walking past at a distance but was unreactive and I was able to place him in kennel easily.
01/22/2025 APO staff notes: Was warned by finder that when she took him to her job to check for a microchip he only went after a male coworker.
