Behavior Notes:
Per staff 1/15:
Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached. Squinty eyes, ears forward and neutral body.
Leash Skills: Had to step in with one foot and treat lure to leash as he did not get up from laying on the bed. Slowly walked out, and walked nicely next to me. We walked through the building and he was cautious passing people and would slow down a little.
Sociability: Came over and allowed gentle pets and gave low swaying tail wags with ears to the side and soft eyes.
Play: n/a
Dog Interaction: Met Skittle. Did some nice parallel walking sniffed and went off doing their own thing.
Return to Kennel: Walked right into kennel without issue.
Color Level: Exp Gold
Per staff 1/14: “Staff was attempting to take out to clean kennel. Finny retreated to the corner of the kennel sitting on the bed with tense eyes, ears forward and gave a paw lift. Staff tried to lasso but Finny was dodging. Did a shake off when the leash touched him. I tossed a treat in and he ate it. Handed the staff member some pepperoni and he was able to treat lure to leash.”
Per staff 1/13: “Went out to take a picture and attempt to scan the dog. While in the car, he growled, had a stiff body, stared intensely, and bared his teeth at staff. We asked the finder to leash the dog inside the car because we observed how quickly the dog's behavior changed with the finder, he immediately started wagging his tail very fast, had a loose body, and soft eyes. The finder leashed the dog, and he exited the car without issue. The staff member was then able to walk the dog straight to a kennel”
Per finder: “Temperamental with strangers. Friendly, shy, scared and playful.”
