Story
Worf (ACCT-A-245811) came to the shelter after being found loose on a baseball field at a park, where a bystander helped safely secure him. While initially unsure and keeping his distance, Worf quickly showed he was willing to engage, sitting on cue and allowing himself to be leashed and brought in without issue.
Since arriving, Worf has shown himself to be a gentle, social, and cooperative dog. Though he was a bit wary at first, he has consistently demonstrated friendly behavior with people—leaning in for affection, taking treats gently, and even offering a paw. He walks well on leash, is easy to handle, and has a soft, relaxed demeanor once comfortable. Overall, he presents as a large but kind-hearted dog who enjoys human interaction and is easy to work with.

⭐Behavioral Notes⭐
Per volunteer 3/28: I met him when another volunteer had him out for a dog meet. He had no issues with the multiple volunteers around him. He even came over to me, put his paws up on my shoulders and allowed and enjoyed all over pets. He seems like a good dog and he is so handsome.

03/24/2026 per staff:
Worf came into dog intake panting, head high and started sniffing and looking around. When given treats Worf was gentle would sit and give paw. Leaned in for pets. We used cream cheese on the door and were able to vaccinate and chip him no problem.
3/23/26 7:45pm Per staff: dog was warning barking, with a tail tucked when I entered the field. He kept running away then running back to the fence where a bystander was. I told him to sit and he sat down by the fence. I threw the bystander my leash and she was able to leash him through the fence. Got onto the truck with no issue. Leashed easily and walked well to kennel. Easily put in kennel.
