darienne

Meet Darienne (ACCT-A-239595)! She's estimated to be 2 years old and was described as friendly by her finder. As a younger dog she's got a lot of energy and enjoys romping around, but once play time is over she's ready to focus on listening to commands for treats!

Behavioral Notes:
Per volunteer 12/29/2025: Dariannne is an adorable little girl that hadn't been out in a couple of days. When she saw me, she jumped on her kennel door and gave me a pitiful look, so she was next on my list of dogs to walk.

She was easy to leash came right out, no issues walking and no strong pulling. It was cold and dark, so after a short time in the yard, we spent most of our time in the grooming room. In both areas she spent time investigating all the smells. I don't recall seeing her pee or poo so she might need a housetraining refresher.
She has a cold, but still had a lot of fun playing with rope toys and a stuffed toy, and getting treats. She got excited when I showed her the treats and did jump up, but soon calmed down. For a while I didn't think she knew sit, but finally she showed me she could sit when asked, and she takes the treats so nicely.
She's a medium sized girl waiting to find a home filled with fun and love!

Per staff 12/25: Kennel Presentation: Standing on her bed when I approached. Soft eyes, ears back and mid wagging tail.

Leash Skills: Easy to leash. Pulled mildly through the kennel, wanted to go up to the other dogs kennels. Her body was loose, mid/high tail wagging and ears back. Outside she pulled mildly, started to pull a little harder the closer we got to the grass and pen area.

Sociability: Allowed handling but did not lean it to it. Stood still and then did a shake off. Spent most of the time romping around the yard. She saw another dog in the other yard and she was at the fence with loose body language.

Play: Did not interact with the toys.

Dog Interaction: Saw a dog in the yard, as we were leaving the pen she pulled harder towards the pen. I was able to call her and she walked away and went back to walking with a slight pull.

Return to Kennel: Went right into her kennel and unleashed without issue.

Per Staff 12/18: Very high energy, jumpy, whining and pulling hard on leash.
