| 03/25/2026 Dog was laying in life room looking out of window on approach. Opened room door & dog would come to door with a relaxed body. Allowed easy leash placement without issues. Walked with a moderate pull & soft tail wag while walking to main PY. Would explore PY with a relaxed body. Approached handler on own & solicited attention. Leaned into handler while being pet without issues. Would take treats gently from handler. Appears to know "SIT". Would attempt to jump up onto bench while handler was sitting down, not able to fully jump onto bench. Would place front paws onto handlers lap & lean in for more petting. Picked up leash & walked back to kennel room without issues. Entered into room & allowed leash removal to be done by hand. Interested parties should be counseled on providing this dog with proper decompression time in a new home. Allowing time to adjust is important for their comfort and well-being. Adopters should be counseled on proper dog-to-dog introductions, which should only occur after the dog has fully decompressed. Potential adopters should be advised on the value of sustained enrichment and crate training to prevent this dog from engaging in destructive behavior when left alone at home. Families should be counseled on safe containment and supervision practices. **Placing OLDER CHILDREN 12+ & NO SMALL ANIMALS as REQUIREMENTS. Placing Only Dog as a Recommendation. Keeping previous Recommendations of Experienced Handler & to Go Slow. Interested parties should be made aware of all intake notes. Adopters should be counseled on proper dog-to-dog introductions, which should only occur after the dog has fully decompressed. |
