Terken 116077 - male, altered, 1Y 6M/26lbs, HW negative
Terken is a goofy, affectionate, and wildly charming dog who greets you with joy while keeping all four paws on the floor. He’s extremely food-motivated, eager to learn, and loves checking in for pets and kisses. Though he can get overstimulated and is still working on manners, he responds well to structure, treats, and guidance. Terken is adventurous, people-oriented, and dreams of being your hiking buddy—and your lap-dog.
Behavior notes:
11/17 He's a very sweet dog but is very hungry so watch fingers when feeding him treats.
He is doing much better than he did when he first came in had no issues. Walks good on a leash; he does pull a little on it

Notes
11/19: (tested with Gemstone, unaltered) Approaches for fence greet with midline wagging tail, loose body, then tenses slightly and avoids when sniffing went on for too long. In the yard on leash, Terken shows loose/bouncy body language, engages and disengages often. Avoids slightly more than usual but does not show any aggression during this interaction. Attempts to initiate contact with Gemstone multiple times but the same social behaviors weren't reciprocated. Score: 7/10 - tolerant of being around the other dog while also showing positive social behaviors. *This test provides a quick look at general socialization and cannot predict behaviors once outside the shelter.
