Notes from staff 5/15:
Had Rudolph out with a volunteer group and she was so excited, zooming around on leash, and greeting us every few seconds while in the kennels. Once outside, she was pacing pretty nonstop in the play yard. She was walking in wide circles nonstop with her head slightly tilted and was not settling down. She would pretty randomly come over and just jump up for pets, then would continue on spinning. She did chase a tennis ball once, but would go back to spinning pretty quickly. When I was between doors going back inside she was also spinning nonstop in that area. Alerted medical
Notes from foster 5/13:
Rudolph is a special girl.she is very good around children she dont even pay attention to them. I introduced her to my daugthers small dog and she was just really playful. She loves balls.i just think her issue is she having allergic reaction to grass because she keeps eating it. or she have regular allergies. Because she keeps trying to scratch her face and body with the furniture and if i start scratching her she stops moving but all of the sudden she starts jumping on me and been mouthy like bitting me but soft. But she get really bad she starts running really fast like something is bothering inside and starts jumping on me and i take her outside for walks but all she wants to do is run in circles like watching the area. Ive been practicing sit and shes been learning it. also teaching her to stop when people walk near us. Shes a really good dog other than she needs medical attention to see if is allergies or worms in her head but her poop is been good no worms there.also shes been pooping and peeing outside eventhoug she had couple of accidents inside since she was new in my house. But she would go around the door and start going in circles so i knew she had to go out.
Notes from staff 5/7:
Goofy girl who can entertain herself! I took her out for a quick walk then to play in a yard for a bit and she mostly just trotted around. She did occasionally jump up to solicit attention and would aggressively sniff me like she worked for the TSA!
