Behavior History
Behavior Assessment

Upon intake Ice T was initially afraid of counselors quickly opening up and becoming very wiggly, friendly and outgoing. He allowed all handling from counselors to be done except for collaring due to being too excited. He was then taken back for vaccinations and walked right into his kennel. All done without any concerns.

Iced T jumped up playfully and accidentally bit the coworker's right hand. Finder expressed that the bite did break skin, and it was a bite and release.
