Behavior Notes:
Per staff 8/14/26: I accompanied a new volunteer while they took Sandy out. She was very patient and easy to be leashed, mild to no pulling on leash, peed as soon as we went outside, allowed petting in the yard and just wanted to sit on her handler's feet for pets. She sat for treats and took them gently. Another volunteer walked a dog into the adjacent yard and she perked up and had a high wagging tail, loose body, and seemed like she wanted to play. She was easy to return to kennel.

Per staff 8/14/26: Sandy had a dog meet with Buck G. Fence greeting - mid to high tail wag, ears back, Buck G moved away on his own. In the yard, loose body, loose jaw, ears back, mid-high tail wags, went up to sniff Buck G and moved away on own. Allowed Buck G to also come up and sniff.

Per staff 8/13/26: Kennel Presentation: Sitting on her bed, came to the front with soft eyes, loose wiggly body, mid level tail wags. Took a treat gently through the bars.

Leash Skills: Easy to leash and came right out. Walked loose leash, mid to low tail wags, ears back, loose body.

Sociability: Came over when I sat down soft eyes, ears back, loose wiggly body, mid level tail wags. Allowed all handling with the same body language. Remained next to me for a few seconds afterwards before sniffing around. Took treats gently, knows sit.

Play: n/a

Dog Interaction: Met Inspector Gadget, ears back, loose sweeping tail wags, was sniffed, easy to move away by calling.

Return to Kennel: Walked back loose leash, stopped outside her kennel for a second then hopped in and leash was removed by hand.

Color Level: Green
