🎥 VIDEOS IN THE COMMENTS 🎥

💜 Volunteer Notes: Blackie is such a beautiful boy! This boy was ready to go outside to the runs after being stuck in a very small evaluation kennel. He leashed up easy and walked great surprisingly. I figured because he was a big dog he would pull, but he actually didn't. Out in the runs he was very sweet and interested in playing. A staff member brought out another dog in the kennel next to us and he was trying to get her to play with him. He has some notes regarding behavior, but I didn't see any of that while I was with him. He was very gentle and kissing with me. I was sitting on the bench and he would come over for affection. Watch his videos in the comments.

Solana greeted me with a stiff body and hard stare. Once I began baby talking to her, her body became more relaxed. I offered her treats but she ddi't take them. She let me leash her and she walked on a loose leash to and from the runs

Solana was growling, giving a hard stare and had a stiff body. Once I began baby talking to her, her body became relaxed and slow wagging tail. I leashed her and she began walking on a loose leash. showed no interest in treats

Growling, hard stare,. biting at leash

Aroused in kennel, high pitched whining when passing by and heavy panting.

In kennel dog was low growling with neutral body and wagging tail. I lassoed the leash on her and she then followed me out. She walked well on the leash. She responded well to baby talk and pets. Also did well outside.

Dog biting and leash and lunging at gate

03/26/26 08:04 Soft whining, tail curled over back and fast wagging. Lowered head and walked into leash loop once I opened kennel door. Semi-tight leash outside and into run. Inside her kennel she can be seen heavy panting, whining, and fast wagging tail at kennel door

At outside runs, wiggly body, open mouth smile, I was able to leash easily. Walked to back intake and had another Tech hold Solana for me, applied a loose muzzle and as I went to give RV on R rear Solana started pulling away. I ended up giving on the R shoulder and dog did not seem to mind at all. When attempting to get hwt Solana started thrashing and trying to get away from us, we walkied her and tried again but she was already too worked up so we decided to stop. Solana let me pet her as I baby talked and tried to get her to calm down. I attempted to give her dewormer and she lifted her lip and showed her teeth. I was able to place her back in the kennel easily and gave dewormer in food. Unable to do HWT.

📝 Shelter Notes:

Dog was vocal, jumpy. Walked on a slightly foward leash. Vocal in the run.

Mr Lycan was standing on all fours in front of the kennel with a open mouth smile, dilated eyes, fast wagging tail. He became jumpy when i was standing in front of his kennel to leash him. When I went to open the kennel he tried to bolt out of the kennel but I was able to leash him before he got any further. He walked on a tight leash due to him forward pulling.

When I opened the kennel gate to bring him back to his kennel, he tried to run out to but i was able to leash. How walked back pulling on the leash

Lycan was standing on all fours in front of the kennel with an open mouth smile, dilated eyes, forward body, ears up, and fast wagging tail. He tried to bolt out of the kennel but I was able to leash him before he got any further. During his walk, he was walked on a tight leash due to him forward pulling. While in the outside runs, noticed that he would start to forward bark at me, jumping high in front of the gate, and pacing. When I opened the kennel gate, he made an attempt to bolt again but was stopped by the leash. He had the same behavior on the way back to his kennel and had to be walked into his kennel due to him refusing to go in willingly.

Approaching the kennel, Lycan was standing on all fours "tap-dancing" in front of the kennel with an open mouth smile, dilated eyes, forward body, ears up, and fast wagging tail.
