Counselor was able to scan microchip (negative) collar and photograph. Barry was responsive on leash but had difficulty walking due to an unspecified medical conditon. Barry became very aroused by other dogs in the waiting area with barking and pulling. Barry would sit for a treat and allowed all petting.

10/15/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Due to Barry’s severe medical condition, a SAFER is not an appropriate behavior evaluation at this time. Please refer to medical references to Barry’s behavior during veterinary exams. As we are unable to evaluate Barry’s behavior at this time, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can address his medical conditions and then evaluate his behavior in a stable home environment.
