A:B Blue level, still not 100% relaxed but does affiliate.B Probably needs time to trust new people P: Adopters should be aware that they may need to visit several times for him to begin to connect.B Structure and consistency in new home will be important.B Unknown how he'd do with children[2026-04-21 14:40:00.000]
