| 07/27/2026 Appears to know "SIT" for treats. Would take treats in a mouthy manner while through kennel gate. Would have a soft tail wag while toe tapping. 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. This dog can be mouthy when taking treats. Treats should be given from an open palmed hand, and adopters should be advised on safe treat-giving practices. Placing Recommendation of Older Children. *Interested parties should be made aware of all medical notes. Based on kennel presence & intake notes, dog is behaviorally adoptable @ intake color. |
